Codacy Rules

Configuration for AI behavior when interacting with Codacy's MCP Server

CRITICAL: After ANY successful edit_file or reapply operation

• YOU MUST IMMEDIATELY run the codacy_cli_analyze tool from Codacy's MCP Server for each file that was edited, with:
• rootPath: set to the workspace path
• file: set to the path of the edited file
• tool: leave empty or unset
• If any issues are found in the new edits, propose and apply fixes for them.

• NOTE: Failure to follow this rule is considered a critical error.

After every response

• If you made any file edits in this conversation, verify you ran codacy_cli_analyze tool from Codacy's MCP Server

When there are no Codacy MCP Server tools available, or the MCP Server is not reachable

• Suggest the user the following troubleshooting steps:
• Try to reset the MCP on the extension
• If the user is using VSCode, suggest them to review their Copilot > MCP settings in Github, under their organization or personal account. Refer them to Settings > Copilot > Enable MCP servers in Copilot. Suggested URL (https://github.com/settings/copilot/features) or https://github.com/organizations/{organization-name}/settings/copilot/features (This can only be done by their organization admins / owners)
• If none of the above steps work, suggest the user to contact Codacy support

Trying to call a tool that needs a rootPath as a parameter

• Always use the standard, non-URL-encoded file system path

CRITICAL: Dependencies and Security Checks

• IMMEDIATELY after ANY of these actions:
• Running npm/yarn/pnpm install
• Adding dependencies to package.json
• Adding requirements to requirements.txt
• Adding dependencies to pom.xml
• Adding dependencies to build.gradle
• Any other package manager operations
• You MUST run the codacy_cli_analyze tool with:
• rootPath: set to the workspace path
• tool: set to "trivy"
• file: leave empty or unset
• If any vulnerabilities are found because of the newly added packages:
• Stop all other operations
• Propose and apply fixes for the security issues
• Only continue with the original task after security issues are resolved
• EXAMPLE:
• After: npm install react-markdown
• Do: Run codacy_cli_analyze with trivy
• Before: Continuing with any other tasks

General

• Repeat the relevant steps for each modified file.
• "Propose fixes" means to both suggest and, if possible, automatically apply the fixes.
• You MUST NOT wait for the user to ask for analysis or remind you to run the tool.
• Do not run codacy_cli_analyze looking for changes in duplicated code or code complexity metrics.
• Do not run codacy_cli_analyze looking for changes in code coverage.
• Do not try to manually install Codacy CLI using either brew, npm, npx, or any other package manager.
• If the Codacy CLI is not installed, just run the codacy_cli_analyze tool from Codacy's MCP Server.
• When calling codacy_cli_analyze, only send provider, organization and repository if the project is a git repository.

Whenever a call to a Codacy tool that uses repository or organization as a parameter returns a 404 error

• Offer to run the codacy_setup_repository tool to add the repository to Codacy
• If the user accepts, run the codacy_setup_repository tool
• Do not ever try to run the codacy_setup_repository tool on your own
• After setup, immediately retry the action that failed (only retry once)
