sonarqube-mcp-py 0.2.0

Python MCP server for SonarQube — query projects, issues, quality gates, coverage, and hotspots

sonarqube-mcp-py

A Python MCP server for SonarQube — query projects, issues, quality gates, coverage, and security hotspots directly from any MCP-compatible AI agent.

Inspired by the official SonarQube MCP Server (Java/Kotlin), reimplemented in Python for lightweight deployment without JVM dependency.
