## Configuration guide

Before you start, review the [Prerequisites](/sonarqube-mcp-server/setup/prerequisites.md).

Use the official [SonarQube MCP Server configuration generator](https://mcp.sonarqube.com/config-generator.html) to get a configuration code snippet for your setup:

1. Identify the target MCP Client.
2. Find your [#common-variables](/sonarqube-mcp-server/reference/environment-variables.md#common-variables).
3. Choose a [hosting method](/sonarqube-mcp-server/setup/environment-considerations.md#hosting-method).
4. Enter the information into the configuration generator.
5. Paste the generated configuration into your configuration file.

For client-specific manual setup steps, open the guide for your IDE or CLI from the list above.
