The SonarQube Command Line Interface (CLI) is designed to adapt the SonarQube capabilities to your development workflow.

This feature is in Beta stage. See the SonarQube Server Product release lifecycle or the SonarQube Cloud Product release lifecycle pages for more information on release stages.

As a software engineer, you can use the SonarQube CLI as your unified command-line interface to interact with the Sonar ecosystem, including SonarQube Server and SonarQube Cloud.

The SonarQube CLI provides you with essential commands to streamline your workflow:

• Integrate with AI tools like Claude Code and others.

• Analyze your code for common pitfalls, including Secrets scanning.

• View and manage the list of reported issues and projects.
