# Setting up project integration

## Adding SonarQube Community Build service connection to Azure Pipelines (SonarQube Community Build endpoint) <a href="#adding-sonarqube-service-connection" id="adding-sonarqube-service-connection"></a>

Service connections are authenticated connections between Azure Pipelines and external or remote services. You must declare your SonarQube Community Build as a service connection in your Azure DevOps project.

Proceed as follows:

1. In SonarQube Community Build, create an authentication token that will be used by Azure DevOps to execute the analysis of your project in SonarQube Community Build. To do so, create a Project analysis token for your project *and copy it* (you may also use a Global analysis token, but it’s not recommended). For more information, see [Managing your tokens](/sonarqube-community-build/user-guide/managing-tokens.md).
2. In your Azure DevOps project, go to **Project Settings** > **Service connections**.
3. Select **New service connection** and then select **SonarQube Server** from the service connection list.

4. Enter your SonarQube Community Build URL, the token created in the first step, and a memorable **Service connection name** (You will need this name when configuring your Azure build pipelines). Then, select **Save** to save your connection.
