SonarQube MCP server 1.23 - Simplified SonarQube Cloud setup and improved list branch tool

Dear community,

We’re excited to announce SonarQube MCP Server v1.23.0, a release that simplifies SonarQube Cloud setup, expands branch visibility for AI agents, and adds enterprise-grade mTLS support.

Simplified SonarQube Cloud Setup

If your token is associated with a single organization, you no longer need to set SONARQUBE_ORG in stdio mode — the server now detects and applies it automatically at startup. SONARQUBE_ORG is still honored if you want to set it explicitly.

Expanded Branch Visibility

list_branches now returns all analyzed branches, including short-lived branches on SonarQube Cloud. A new optional branchTypes filter (ALL, LONG, SHORT) lets agents narrow results, and mergeBranch is now exposed for short-lived branches too.

mTLS Client Certificate Support

The MCP Server can now be configured to use a mounted client certificate (PKCS12 keystore) for mutual TLS, enabling deployments in enterprise networks that require client authentication.

Find out more about this release here.

Stay tuned for more updates.

Farah.

Is it planned to support the new mcp standard using Oauth? Like Claude does with its connectors? That would make everything way more convenient to setup

Hey @platzhersh, thanks for bringing this up. Adding OAuth workflow support for our hosted MCP on SonarQube Cloud is on our roadmap. We completely understand how critical this is for a seamless experience, and we’ll post an update here as soon as it’s available.

Hey @nicolas.quinquenel thanks for the fast reply! Happy to hear that and eagerly waiting for updates :blush:
