Perplexity

Audit repository quality via Claude Desktop

Your agent runs `get_repository_quality_analysis` inside Claude Desktop to instantly check your code quality grade. This MCP Server lets your agent run checks on demand. The tool pulls actual Codacy metrics directly into Claude Desktop, so you don't have to open a browser tab to see if your latest refactor broke your quality targets. It works natively inside the desktop app using your local setup.

Find and fix code issues in your chat

Your agent calls `search_repository_issues` to pinpoint the exact files and lines causing problems in your codebase. Finding these errors takes seconds. The raw list of issues is parsed directly inside Claude Desktop, allowing your agent to generate fixes on the spot for your Codacy violations. You can clean up your codebase without manually hunting for linting errors or security flaws.

Map out your organization and repositories

Your agent maps out your setup by running `list_organization_repositories` and `list_codacy_organizations` directly in your Claude Desktop chat. This keeps your team aligned. You can quickly verify which repositories are currently undergoing Codacy static analysis without leaving your Claude Desktop workspace. Managing multiple projects becomes straightforward.
