How to Use the Codacy MCP in Cursor

Q: How do I install the Codacy server in Cursor?

Add the MCP server configuration to your .cursor/mcp.json file. Cursor will automatically start the server and expose tools like getrepositoryqualityanalysis to your composer and chat.

Q: Can Cursor automatically fix issues found by Codacy?

Yes. In Agent mode, Cursor can call searchrepositoryissues to find code quality violations and then rewrite the offending code block to resolve them.

Q: Does the Codacy integration work globally across all Cursor projects?

You can configure the MCP Server globally in /.cursor/mcp.json. This lets you check your profile using getmycodacyprofile from any workspace you open.

Q: How do I see who has access to the repository inside my editor?

Your agent can call listorganizationmembers to retrieve the list of users in your organization, making it easy to see who to assign a code quality issue to.

Write cleaner code in Cursor by pulling real-time Codacy quality metrics and issues directly into your active editor session.

Fix static analysis issues in Cursor Agent mode

Your agent runs `search_repository_issues` in Cursor Agent mode to see exactly what Codacy static analysis issues exist in your current file. This helps you identify violations immediately. Cursor then writes the fix directly into your codebase. You get working code that satisfies your Codacy quality gates on the very first try.

Track your codebase grade while you write

This MCP Server calls `get_repository_quality_analysis` to check your current Codacy repository rating before you push code from Cursor. Tracking technical debt is automated. If your Codacy grade is slipping, you can address the technical debt immediately in Cursor. You keep your quality high without switching to an external dashboard.

Confirm language analysis inside your workspace

Your Cursor agent uses `list_supported_languages` to verify if the Codacy static analysis engine will parse your code. This avoids configuration errors. It keeps your Cursor development cycle tight. You know exactly what the Codacy engine can parse before you write the code.

Setup guide

Set up Codacy MCP in Cursor

Prerequisites

Cursor installed (macOS, Windows, or Linux)
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Open MCP Settings

Go to Cursor Settings → MCP or open the Command Palette (Cmd+Shift+P / Ctrl+Shift+P) and search for "MCP: Add Server".
2

Add the Codacy MCP

Cursor will create or open .cursor/mcp.json in your project root. Paste the JSON snippet on the right. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your endpoint token from cloud.vinkius.com.
3

Enable Agent mode

Open Composer (Cmd+I / Ctrl+I) and switch to Agent mode using the dropdown at the top. MCP tools are only available in Agent mode.
4

Verify the connection

Ask Cursor something like "List my recent Codacy transactions." If the MCP tools are loaded correctly, Cursor will call the Codacy tools automatically. You can also check Settings → MCP for a green status indicator.
