Audit code quality in Cursor

Use `get_coverage_report_tree` to visualize your project structure alongside coverage data. The agent maps your file tree to the actual test coverage metrics. It gives you a clear picture of what needs more tests. You see the gaps while you write your implementation code.

List repositories within Cursor

Run `list_codecov_repositories` to find the right project without switching browser tabs. The agent fetches your full list of repositories linked to your account. Selecting the right repo is fast. You can start debugging coverage issues in seconds.

Browse branches using Cursor

Call `list_repository_branches` to see the state of your feature branches. You can check if your current branch is reporting coverage back to Codecov. It prevents you from pushing code blindly. You confirm your environment is ready before you commit.

Setup guide

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 Codecov 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.
