Short answer

How can I check my code quality using AI?

Your AI uses Codacy tools to fetch quality analysis and list your repositories. You get direct access to maintainability scores and technical debt reports through your chat window. This allows you to identify problematic code instantly.

Where your data lands.

Quality insights in your chat.

The AI pulls raw metrics from Codacy and turns them into actionable insights in your chat.

METRICS

Direct quality reports

The AI pulls specific analysis for a single repo. You get a clear view of maintainability and technical debt.

INVENTORY

Full repo lists

Your agent can list every repository in your organization. This makes it easy to find which projects need attention.

ANALYSIS

Trend spotting

Ask your AI to compare different repositories. It identifies which ones are slipping in quality compared to others.

HUMAN

Manual code fixes

The AI identifies the issues, but you still need to open your IDE to actually rewrite the code and push fixes.

The workflow

What your AI does when the data arrives.

The AI acts as a bridge between your chat interface and your Codacy dashboard.

  1. Identify repositories

    Your agent looks through your organization to find the specific projects you want to check.

FAQ

How this task behaves.

  • 01

    Can the AI fix the code quality issues for me?

    No. The AI can only read the quality analysis and report on the issues. You must manually apply the fixes in your codebase.

  • 02

    Can the AI delete repositories in Codacy?

    No. The tools only allow the AI to list repositories and retrieve quality analysis. It cannot perform destructive actions like deleting data.

  • 03

    Does the AI see my actual source code?

    No. The AI only accesses the quality metrics and analysis reports provided by Codacy, not the raw files in your repository.

  • 04

    Can I ask about repositories not in my Codacy organization?

    No. The AI can only access data from the repositories it can find through the provided organization tools.

  • 05

    Will this work with any AI client?

    It works with any MCP-compatible client like Claude, Cursor, or Windsurf.
