Audit code quality in Claude Desktop

Stop guessing your repo health. This server lets you run `get_repository_code_quality` to pull exact grades for any project in your account. Claude Desktop displays these metrics, letting you see where your technical debt is hiding. You get the raw data without leaving your chat window.

Review test coverage and snapshots

Use `list_repository_test_reports` to see exactly which files are under-tested. You can also pull specific snapshots with `get_snapshot_quality_details` to track changes over time. This gives your agent the context needed to suggest better testing strategies. It turns static reports into actionable engineering feedback.

Manage your engineering workflow

The `list_codeclimate_repositories` tool gives you a bird's-eye view of your entire organization's projects. You can also view webhooks with `list_codeclimate_webhooks` to see how your team triggers analysis. It keeps your development pulse steady by connecting your workspace to your metrics. You spend less time context-switching between browsers and your code editor.
