## MCP Server in SonarQube Cloud

Use the embedded SonarQube Cloud MCP server to avoid running and maintaining your own MCP infrastructure while always using the current server version. The embedded server exposes a smaller, fixed subset of tools; for the available toolsets and configuration details, check SonarQube Cloud's [MCP Server #MCP Server in SonarQube Cloud](https://app.gitbook.com/s/B4UT2GNiZKjtxFtcFAL7/ai-capabilities/sonarqube-mcp-server#mcp-server-in-sonarqube-cloud "mention") page.
