Short answer

How can I use AI to find and fix code issues?

Your AI pulls bugs and security hotspots directly from SonarCloud. It then analyzes the issue context to give you direct remediation steps. You get a clear path to fixing vulnerabilities.

The outcomes.

Where your fixes land.

The AI organizes its findings into these specific results.

TRIAGE

Identified bugs

The AI finds specific issues in your SonarCloud projects. You get a list of exactly what is broken.

REPAIR

Remediation steps

The AI looks at the code context to suggest how to fix the bug. You receive direct instructions for the repair.

SECURITY

Security hotspots

The AI flags areas where security might be at risk. You get a breakdown of why these spots are dangerous.

HUMAN

Final code review

The AI provides the logic, but you decide if the fix is right. You remain the final authority on every change.

The workflow

What your AI does when the issues arrive.

The AI acts as a bridge between your SonarCloud data and your coding environment.

  1. Scan for issues

    The AI looks through your SonarCloud projects to find active bugs and security vulnerabilities.

    search_issues

  2. Deep dive

    Once an issue is found, the AI pulls the specific details and context for that exact problem.

    get_issue_details

  3. Plan the fix

    The AI uses the issue details to draft a remediation plan. It tells you exactly what code to change.

    get_issue_details

  4. Verify the logic

    The AI checks the proposed fix against the original issue to ensure it actually solves the problem.

    get_issue_details

FAQ

How this task behaves.

  • 01

    Can the AI fix the code automatically?

    No. The AI provides the remediation steps and the logic, but you must manually apply the changes to your codebase.

  • 02

    Does the AI have permission to delete my SonarCloud issues?

    No. The AI can only read issue data and details. It cannot modify or delete anything within SonarCloud.

  • 03

    Can I use this with any AI client?

    Yes, as long as you are using an MCP-compatible client like Claude, Cursor, or Windsurf.

  • 04

    How does the AI know which issues to look at?

    It uses the search_issues tool to find specific bugs or hotspots based on the project or severity you specify.

  • 05

    Will the AI see my entire codebase?

    The AI only sees the specific code context and issue details it retrieves from SonarCloud to answer your questions.
