AI capabilities

Explore Sonar Vortex, Hunter Agent, Remediation Agent, AI CodeFix, and tools for working with coding agents in SonarQube Cloud.

Use SonarQube Cloud's AI capabilities and coding-agent integrations to give agents project context, check code changes, find vulnerabilities, and get fix suggestions.

For the broader development workflow, see Agent Centric Development Cycle. Subscription requirements vary by feature. See the subscription plan comparison.

Sonar Vortex

Sonar Vortex context gives your agent project context and coding guidelines before it writes or edits code. Sonar Vortex analysis checks the code changes your agent produces, using analysis context from your project's CI pipeline.

For prerequisites and setup guidance, see Sonar Vortex.

Gitar

Gitar is a separate Sonar product that provides AI-powered pull request review. It posts review comments directly in your pull requests to help you catch issues before merging.

Hunter Agent

The SonarQube Hunter Agent runs AI-powered analysis to find complex, logic-level security vulnerabilities and raises its findings as issues in SonarQube Cloud.

To enable the agent and run analyses, see Hunter Agent administration. To review its findings, see Hunter Agent findings.

Remediation Agent

The SonarQube Remediation Agent proposes fixes for issues in your pull requests and your main branch's backlog. It opens new pull requests for you to review and approve.

To enable it, see Administer the Remediation Agent. To request fixes and track agent activity, see Remediation Agent.

AI CodeFix

AI CodeFix uses a large language model (LLM) to generate a fix suggestion for an individual issue. You review and apply the suggestion.

To enable it, see Enable AI CodeFix. To request suggestions, see Getting AI-generated fix suggestions.

SonarQube CLI and agent plugins

Agent plugins, the SonarQube CLI, and the SonarQube MCP Server connect your coding agent or terminal workflow to SonarQube capabilities. For Vortex setup instructions, see Installing Vortex.

SonarQube MCP Server

The SonarQube MCP Server connects your AI coding agent to SonarQube Cloud through the Model Context Protocol (MCP). Your agent can retrieve issue data, project quality status, and more.

SonarQube Cloud includes a hosted MCP server with no local setup required. See SonarQube Cloud-hosted for setup instructions. For other agent configurations, see the IDE/CLI quickstart guides.
