Vortex for Claude Code

How to install Vortex for Claude Code using the SonarQube plugin or the SonarQube CLI.

You have two ways to install Vortex for Claude Code:

• Using the Claude Code SonarQube plugin
• Using the SonarQube CLI

Once installed, both options result in exactly the same thing, as the plugin installs the SonarQube CLI for you and automates the integration in the agent. We recommend that individual developers use the SonarQube plugin, and teams or organizations use the CLI directly for automated deployments.

Installing Vortex for Claude Code using the SonarQube plugin

Step 1: Install the SonarQube plugin for Claude Code

Install the SonarQube plugin:

claude plugin install sonarqube@claude-plugins-official

For more details, see Claude Code.

Step 2: Run the integration skill

Run the guided integration skill from an agent session opened in your project folder:

/sonarqube:sonar-integrate

The skill installs or updates the SonarQube CLI, authenticates it, and runs sonar integrate to set up context augmentation and agentic analysis for the current project.

Step 3: Restart your agent

If your agent is running, restart it so the integration is loaded for the current project.

Step 4: Verify your setup

Verify the setup: ask your agent "What is the current architecture of the project? Limit the answer to the top-level blocks."
