Hi, i am working with “Sonarcube for IDE” in Intellij and wanted to Set Up my MCP Server to Connect with the Plugin. Now it says that i need a SONARQUBE_IDE_PORT.
Where can i find that Port?
Can i even do that in Intellij?
VS Code seems to have a Quick install Option that IntelliJ doesn’t have.
Plugin Version: 11.10.0.83942
IntelliJ Version: 2025.1.4.1
MCP Server Version: image@latest
GitHub Doc: GitHub - SonarSource/sonarqube-mcp-server: SonarQube MCP Server
Hey @Shadownight , thanks for reaching out!
The SONARQUBE_IDE_PORT value is intended to be populated automatically by our IDE extension. At the moment, this functionality is only available in VS Code. Unfortunately, we don’t have an immediate plan to support it in IntelliJ, so this capability isn’t available there yet.
While it is technically possible to look up the embedded server port in the SonarQube for IDE log tab and manually set SONARQUBE_IDE_PORT, we don’t recommend this approach. The port can change after a restart, which makes the setup fragile and cumbersome.
As a follow-up question, we’d love to better understand your IntelliJ workflow around AI. For example:
Which AI agent(s) do you typically use?
Are you using our MCP server within your IntelliJ environment?
This feedback would help us prioritize related work in the coming weeks or months.
Thanks again!
