Free IDE extension providing real-time code quality and security analysis with quick fixes as developers write code.
SonarQube for IDE is a free extension that brings real-time static analysis directly into Visual Studio Code, JetBrains IDEs, Visual Studio, Eclipse, and AI-native editors such as Cursor and Windsurf. It flags bugs, vulnerabilities, code smells, and exposed secrets as code is written, with explanations, quick fixes, and AI-generated remediation suggestions.
In Connected Mode, the extension synchronizes rules, quality profiles, and quality gates with SonarQube Server or SonarQube Cloud, so local findings match the standards enforced in CI. It covers more than 20 languages and supports a focus-on-new-code workflow that keeps new issues from entering the codebase.
Adds products that compete with one of SonarQube for IDE’s direct competitors but not with SonarQube for IDE itself. They are shaded, and Linked Through names the direct competitor each one competes with.
