Overview

The SonarQube agent app for GitHub brings SonarQube code verification, quality gates, and remediation workflows into Github agent workflows. Once installed, the agent exposes dedicated sonar-* skills inside every Github agent session for your configured repos.
Invoke the SonarQube agent from Mission Control, directly in a PR, or within the same Agent session that writes your code. Code generation, analysis, remediation, and verification happen in one agentic environment.

Key capabilities

• Quality gate and issue surfacing: Check quality gate status and list new-code issues for any PR or branch on demand, right from an Agent session.

• Contextual remediation: Ask the agent to fix a specific issue. It fetches the rule description, generates a fix, and commits the corrected code to the working branch.

• Branch-level analysis: Trigger SonarQube analysis from within the Agent session using the sonar-analyze skill to verify fixes before merge.

• Natural-language queries: Ask questions about your SonarQube Cloud projects, issues, and quality gate results in plain language. The agent resolves the appropriate sonar-* skill automatically.

• Coverage, duplication, and dependency risk: Surface code coverage, duplication metrics, and dependency risk data. Dependency risk requires SonarQube Advanced Security on a Cloud Enterprise plan.

How It Works

• The SonarQube agent app bundles a dedicated agent definition, sonar-* skills, and a preconfigured SonarQube MCP Server into a single GitHub app.
• When you open a session and select the SonarQube agent, the runtime resolves your organization and project configuration, mints a fresh OIDC JWT, and exchanges it for a SonarQube Cloud API bearer token. No static credentials are stored.
• The MCP Server starts with your org, project, and token injected, connecting the Agent session directly to your SonarQube Cloud backend.
• Natural-language prompts are routed to the appropriate sonar-* skill automatically: listing issues, checking quality gates, triggering analysis, or generating and committing code fixes to the working branch.
