How to Set Up and Use Codacy MCP
The Codacy MCP server connects AI assistants to Codacy's cloud code quality and security platform through natural language, enabling repository management, automated security analysis, pull request reviews, and local CLI-based code scanning. It covers SAST, secrets detection, SCA, IaC, CI/CD, and DAST checks, and surfaces per-file coverage, duplication, and issue data directly inside your AI chat. Development teams use it to investigate code quality problems, triage security findings, and review pull requests without leaving their AI assistant.
Prerequisites
- Node.js 18+ and npx available in your PATH
- A Codacy account with a Personal API token (generated under Account → API tokens)
- Repositories already added to Codacy for analysis
- An MCP client such as Claude Desktop, Cursor, or VS Code with MCP support
Obtain your Codacy API token
Log in to app.codacy.com, navigate to Account Settings → API tokens, and generate a Personal API token. Copy the token value — you will need it for the environment variable.
Install the Codacy MCP package
You can use npx to run without a global install, or install globally for convenience.
# Run directly with npx (no install needed):
npx -y @codacy/codacy-mcp
# Or install globally:
npm install -g @codacy/codacy-mcpAdd the server to your MCP client configuration
Edit your claude_desktop_config.json (Claude Desktop) or equivalent MCP client config file to register the Codacy server with your API token.

"codacy": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@codacy/codacy-mcp"],
"env": {
"CODACY_ACCOUNT_TOKEN": "your-codacy-personal-api-token"
}
}
}
}Restart your MCP client
Restart Claude Desktop or your MCP client to pick up the new server configuration. The Codacy tools should appear in the tool list.
Add your repository to Codacy if needed
Use the setup tool via your AI assistant to follow a repository in Codacy before running analysis. You can also do this from the Codacy dashboard.

- "Show me all critical security issues found in the main branch of my-repo"
- "Summarize the new issues introduced in pull request #42 in my-repo"
- "Which files in my-repo have the most code duplication?"
- "Run a local code analysis on the current directory and report any issues found"Troubleshooting Codacy MCP
Authentication error: 'Unauthorized' when calling Codacy tools
Verify that CODACY_ACCOUNT_TOKEN is set correctly in the env block of your MCP config. The token must be a Personal API token from Account Settings, not an organization or repository token. Restart your MCP client after updating the config.
Repository not found when trying to analyze it
The repository must first be followed or added in Codacy. Use the setup tool through your AI assistant or go to app.codacy.com and add the repository manually. The organization name in Codacy may differ from your GitHub org name.
npx command not found or package fails to download
Ensure Node.js 18+ is installed and npx is in your PATH. If behind a corporate proxy, set HTTP_PROXY and HTTPS_PROXY environment variables. Alternatively, install the package globally with npm install -g @codacy/codacy-mcp and use 'command': 'codacy-mcp' in the config.
