Cascade hunts down tech debt using the Code Climate MCP Server

Cascade doesn't just look at files; it inspects your entire codebase health. By calling `get_repository_code_quality` and `list_codeclimate_repositories`, your agent spots which repos have slipping grades before you even write a line of code. This gives the agent the context it needs to plan its next moves. Once it identifies a struggling repository, the agent drills down into specific files. By comparing snapshot data from `list_repository_snapshots`, Cascade finds exactly where the quality tanked, giving you a clear target for refactoring.

Isolate and fix specific file issues in Windsurf

When your build fails or code quality drops, Cascade uses `list_snapshot_code_issues` to pinpoint the exact line causing the mess. It pulls the dirty details from `get_snapshot_quality_details` to understand what rule was broken, whether it is cognitive complexity or a duplicate block. Instead of making you open a browser, the agent plans a multi-step fix. It refactors the offending code, runs local tests, and verifies the improvements directly inside your workspace.

Audit test coverage and webhooks autonomously

Stop guessing if your test suite actually covers the changes you just made. Windsurf calls `list_repository_test_reports` to grab the latest coverage numbers and spot gaps in your test suites. It also monitors your integration setup. By running `list_codeclimate_webhooks`, the agent checks if your commit hooks are active, ensuring your CI pipeline stays updated without manual checks.
