# SonarQube CLI in agentic workflows

This page explains how to use SonarQube CLI in agentic workflows, including integration with Claude Code.

## Claude Code integration

The `sonar integrate claude` command integrates [SonarQube CLI](https://docs.sonarsource.com/sonarqube-cli/) with Claude Code so you can perform tasks from the command line, such as:

**Secrets scanning**: Set up hooks that run before Claude reads or writes files. Once set up, Claude Code automatically blocks operations that would expose secrets. For more information, see [Set up the Claude Code hook](/sonarqube-cli/integrations/claude-code.md).

**Code verification with Agentic Analysis**: Configure [Agentic Analysis](https://docs.sonarsource.com/sonarqube-cloud/analyzing-source-code/agentic-analysis) on SonarQube Cloud.

**Dependency analysis**: Scan your project's open-source dependencies for known vulnerabilities, malware, and prohibited licenses with `sonar analyze dependency-risks`. Available on SonarQube Cloud and on SonarQube Server 2026.4+ with Advanced Security and SCA enabled. See [sca.md](/sonarqube-cli/analysis/sca.md).

**Context Augmentation:** Provide context to your agent to make it generate better code. See [Add context to generate better code](/agent-centric-development-cycle/how-to-guides/add-context-to-generate-better-code.md).
