## Introduction

This guide walks you through connecting Codacy to the Claude Agent SDK using the Composio tool router. By the end, you'll have a working Codacy agent that can list all projects in your codacy account, show details for your active codacy organizations, enumerate repositories for a specific organization through natural language commands.
This guide will help you understand how to give your Claude Agent SDK agent real control over a Codacy account through Composio's Codacy MCP server.
Before we dive in, let's take a quick look at the key ideas and tools involved.

## TL;DR

Here's what you'll learn:
- Get and set up your Claude/Anthropic and Composio API keys
- Install the necessary dependencies
- Initialize Composio and create a Tool Router session for Codacy
- Configure an AI agent that can use Codacy as a tool
- Run a live chat session where you can ask the agent to perform Codacy operations

## What is Claude Agent SDK?

The Claude Agent SDK is Anthropic's official framework for building AI agents powered by Claude. It provides a streamlined interface for creating agents with MCP tool support and conversation management.
Key features include:
- Native MCP Support: Built-in support for Model Context Protocol servers
- Permission Modes: Control tool execution permissions
- Streaming Responses: Real-time response streaming for interactive applications
- Context Manager: Clean async context management for sessions

## What is the Codacy MCP server, and what's possible with it?

The Codacy MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Codacy account. It provides structured and secure access to your code quality dashboard, so your agent can perform actions like listing projects, managing API tokens, checking organization repositories, and retrieving user account details on your behalf.
- Automated project listing and discovery: Instantly fetch a comprehensive list of all projects accessible to your Codacy account for quick overview and navigation.
- Organization and repository management: Ask your agent to enumerate all organizations you belong to and drill into the repositories associated with each, helping you keep track of where your code lives.
- API token lifecycle management: Effortlessly create or delete API tokens as needed, making it easy to manage secure integrations and access controls without leaving your flow.
- User account insights and verification: Retrieve account details to confirm authentication, audit user info, or set up new integrations with confidence.

## Supported Tools

| Tool slug | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `CODACY_CREATE_API_TOKEN` | Create API Token | Creates a new account API token for the authenticated user. The token inherits all permissions from the account owner and provides access to the same organizations and repositories. Note: The token is created with default settings. To configure expiration dates or other settings, use the Codacy web interface. The newly created token can be used to authenticate API requests by including it in the 'api-token' header. |
| `CODACY_DELETE_API_TOKEN` | Delete API Token | Tool to delete a specific API token from the authenticated user's account. Use after confirming the token ID. |
| `CODACY_GET_ACCOUNT_DETAILS` | Get Account Details | Tool to retrieve details of the authenticated user's account. Use when confirming authentication before user-level operations. |
| `CODACY_GET_CONFIGURATION_STATUS` | Get Configuration Status | Tool to retrieve the current configuration status of the Codacy system. Use when checking system setup completion or first-time configuration status. |
| `CODACY_GET_HEALTH` | Get Health | Tool to check the health status of the Codacy API. Use when verifying API connectivity and service availability. |
| `CODACY_GET_ORGANIZATIONS_REPOSITORIES_SETTINGS_LANGUAGES` | Get Organizations Repositories Settings Languages | Tool to get the list of all languages with their extensions and enabled status for a repository. Use when you need to understand which programming languages are detected and enabled for analysis in a specific Codacy repository. |
| `CODACY_GET_TOOL_PATTERN` | Get Tool Pattern | Tool to retrieve the definition of a specific pattern for a given tool. Use when you need to get detailed information about a specific code pattern including its description, examples, parameters, and configuration. |
| `CODACY_GET_USER_ORGANIZATIONS` | Get User Organizations | Retrieves all organizations the authenticated user belongs to for a specific Git provider. Returns organization details including name, provider, avatar, access permissions (DAST, SCA), and join status. Use this to discover which organizations a user can access on Codacy for a given Git provider (GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket). Requires the user to have connected the specified provider to their Codacy account. |
| `CODACY_GET_VERSION` | Get Version | Tool to retrieve the version of the Codacy installation. Use when checking the Codacy API version for compatibility or debugging purposes. |
| `CODACY_LIST_ANALYSIS_ORGANIZATIONS_REPOSITORIES` | List Analysis Organizations Repositories | Tool to list organization repositories with analysis information for the authenticated user. Use when you need to retrieve repositories from a specific organization with their analysis status. For Bitbucket, ensure you URL encode the cursor before using it in subsequent API calls. |
| `CODACY_LIST_DUPLICATION_TOOLS` | List Duplication Tools | Tool to retrieve the list of duplication detection tools available in Codacy. Use when you need to identify which tools can analyze code duplication for different programming languages. |
| `CODACY_LIST_LANGUAGES_TOOLS` | List Languages and Tools | Tool to retrieve the list of languages supported by available tools. Use when you need to determine which programming languages are supported by Codacy's analysis tools. |
| `CODACY_LIST_LOGIN_INTEGRATIONS` | List Login Integrations | Tool to list configured login providers on Codacy's platform. Use when you need to discover available authentication methods for Codacy login. |
| `CODACY_LIST_METRICS_TOOLS` | List Metrics Tools | Tool to retrieve the list of metrics tools available in Codacy. Use when you need to discover which tools calculate metrics on projects and which languages they support. |
| `CODACY_LIST_PROJECTS` | List Projects | Tool to list all projects accessible to the authenticated user. Use when you need a list of repositories after confirming API token validity. |
| `CODACY_LIST_PROVIDER_INTEGRATIONS` | List Provider Integrations | Tool to list provider integrations existing on Codacy's platform. Use when you need to discover available Git providers that can be integrated with Codacy for authentication and repository management. |
| `CODACY_LIST_TOOLS` | List Tools | Tool to retrieve the list of analysis tools available in Codacy. Use when you need to identify which code analysis tools are available and which programming languages they support. |
| `CODACY_LIST_TOOLS_PATTERNS` | List Tools Patterns | Tool to retrieve the list of patterns for a specific tool. Returns code patterns that the tool can use to find issues, with pagination support. |

## Creating MCP Server - Stand-alone vs Composio SDK

The Codacy MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent to Codacy. It provides structured and secure access so your agent can perform Codacy operations on your behalf through a secure, permission-based interface.
With Composio's managed implementation, you don't have to create your own developer app. For production, if you're building an end product, we recommend using your own credentials. The managed server helps you prototype fast and go from 0-1 faster.

## Step-by-step Guide

### 1. Prerequisites

Before starting, make sure you have:
- Composio API Key and Claude/Anthropic API Key
- Primary know-how of Claude Agents SDK
- A Codacy account
- Some knowledge of Python

### 1. Getting API Keys for Claude/Anthropic and Composio

Claude/Anthropic API Key
- Go to the [Anthropic Console](https://console.anthropic.com/settings/organization/api-keys) and create an API key. You'll need credits to use the models.
- Keep the API key safe.
Composio API Key
- Log in to the [Composio dashboard](https://dashboard.composio.dev?utm_source=toolkits&utm_medium=framework_docs).
- Navigate to your API settings and generate a new API key.
- Store this key securely as you'll need it for authentication.

With a standalone Codacy MCP server, the agents and LLMs can only access a fixed set of Codacy tools tied to that server. However, with the Composio Tool Router, agents can dynamically load tools from Codacy and many other apps based on the task at hand, all through a single MCP endpoint.

### Can I use Tool Router MCP with Claude Agent SDK?

Yes, you can. Claude Agent SDK fully supports MCP integration. You get structured tool calling, message history handling, and model orchestration while Tool Router takes care of discovering and serving the right Codacy tools.

### Can I manage the permissions and scopes for Codacy while using Tool Router?

Yes, absolutely. You can configure which Codacy scopes and actions are allowed when connecting your account to Composio. You can also bring your own OAuth credentials or API configuration so you keep full control over what the agent can do.

### How safe is my data with Composio Tool Router?

All sensitive data such as tokens, keys, and configuration is fully encrypted at rest and in transit. Composio is SOC 2 Type 2 compliant and follows strict security practices so your Codacy data and credentials are handled as safely as possible.
