01 · Install Codescene MCP Server

Claude Code

claude mcp add codescene-oss-codescene-mcp-server -- npx -y @codescene/codehealth-mcp

Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code - add to config

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "codescene-oss-codescene-mcp-server": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@codescene/codehealth-mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Same JSON for Cursor. For VS Code, rename the top-level key from `mcpServers` to `servers`.

Using another client? Same JSON, different key

02 · Evidence

Security posture

What to check before giving this server access to your agent - from the registry, GitHub, and our own probes. We don't score safety; we show what's verifiable.

runs as local process (stdio) - runs on your machine with your user's permissions

license no standard license detected - usage rights unclear; check the repo before commercial use

npm package @codescene/codehealth-mcp - the @codescene scope differs from the repo owner (codescene-oss); confirm it's the project's official package

registry vendor namespace com.codescene - domain-verified with the official MCP registry
