Now available: SonarQube plugin for Cursor
Blog post from Sonar
The SonarQube plugin for Cursor connects the Cursor code-writing platform to a SonarQube instance via the MCP Server, providing real-time, in-chat code quality and security checks. It installs various sonar-* skills to assess quality gate status, dependency risks, code coverage, and scan for over 450 secret types before code generation. The plugin leverages the SonarQube CLI runtime to conduct Agentic Analysis, which automatically analyzes and applies rule-driven fixes to code files during active sessions, thereby enabling immediate resolution of code quality issues. This process is part of the Agent-Centric Development Cycle (AC/DC), which emphasizes verifying code quality in the same session it is generated, rather than relying solely on CI or PR reviews. By integrating seamlessly into the Cursor workflow, the plugin ensures that code quality is maintained consistently, providing an auditable standard that enhances both speed and trust in the development process.
