The **CodeScene MCP Server** exposes CodeScene's [Code Health](https://codescene.com/product/code-health) analysis as local AI-friendly tools.
Codescene MCP server exists for a simple reason — assistants are far more useful when they can act on Codescene directly instead of describing what you should do. The CodeScene MCP Server exposes CodeScene's Code Health analysis as local AI-friendly tools.
Installation goes through your MCP client rather than a global install: point it at @codescene/codehealth-mcp on npm and it is fetched when the client starts. The copy-paste blocks for Claude Desktop, Claude Code and Cursor are further down this page.
Once Codescene is connected, these are the calls the assistant has available:
codehealth-mcp — {version}.mcpbmacOS — ** cs-mcp-macos-aarch64.zip (Apple Silicon) or cs-mcp-macos-amd64 (Intel)Linux — ** cs-mcp-linux-aarch64.zip or cs-mcp-linux-amd64Windows — ** cs-mcp-windows-amd64.exeYou will need one environment variable: CS_ACCESS_TOKEN. The server will not start without them, which is usually why the tools fail to appear on a first run. Keep credentials in your client's env block or a secrets manager rather than in a file you might commit.
Among the developer tooling options, the useful question is rarely "what can it do" but "what does it cost you to run" — permissions, credentials, and how much of your context its toolset consumes. Codescene's toolset — codehealth-mcp, macOS, Linux and 1 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by codescene-oss; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.
SyncDev reviews every entry in this directory against the project's own documentation before publishing, and revisits them as servers change.
