By combining Agent Skills (local instruction sets) with MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers, developers can connect Windsurf to external tools like SonarQube for automated code quality checks. The SonarQube MCP Server runs as a Docker container and provides 25 tools for the AI agent to analyze code snippets, retrieve issues, and even fix quality problems automatically—eliminating manual back-and-forth between coding and quality verification. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
