You can extend your Coverity Connect workflow with an MCP server that lets AI assistants interact with the platform through natural language commands. This server exposes key Coverity capabilities—projects, streams, defects, users, security findings, and dashboards—and integrates with Claude Desktop or other MCP clients for streamlined, AI-powered analysis and remediation guidance.

How to use

You connect to the MCP server from your MCP client (such as Claude Desktop) to issue natural language questions and receive structured results. Start with project inventory, defect searches, and user management tasks to get comfortable with the interaction model. Use concise prompts to filter by project, severity, or role, and let the AI surface remediation recommendations and trend insights based on your Coverity data.

How to install

Prerequisites you need locally: Python and a working Python environment, plus access credentials to your Coverity Connect instance.

Install from GitHub using pip directly from the repository.

pip install git+https://github.com/keides2/coverity-connect-mcp.git
