SonarQube

SonarQube is SonarSource's code quality and code security platform, shipped as the self-managed SonarQube Server (Community Build, Developer, Enterprise and Data Center editions), the hosted SonarQube Cloud, SonarQube for IDE and the SonarQube CLI. Every SonarQube Server instance exposes the Web API at /api (and the newer Web API v2 at /api/v2) for projects, issues, measures, quality gates, rules, users, webhooks and system administration, documented inside the instance and described by protobuf message contracts in the open-source sonar-ws module. SonarSource also publishes an official MCP server (self-hosted container, a Server-hosted extension at /mcp, and a Sonar-hosted OAuth endpoint for SonarQube Cloud).

SonarQube publishes 7 API contracts indexed on the APIs.io network, including Issues API, Measures API, Projects API, and 4 more. Tagged areas include Code Quality, Developer Tools, DevOps, Security, and Static Analysis.

The SonarQube catalog on APIs.io includes 1 event-driven AsyncAPI specification, 1 JSON-LD context, and 2 Spectral governance rulesets.

SonarQube’s developer surface includes CLI, changelog, authentication, developer portal, documentation, engineering blog, support, and 82 more developer resources.

Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Horizontal (data, software, accessibility, platform) regime, so Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite. If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your provider repo — the applicability map is public and we will correct it.

Create-or-Update Ergonomics applies to this provider. This API accepts writes, so it carries 10 points of the composite. It is scored from the published contracts themselves: whether a caller can create-or-update in one call, whether the write accepts a key the caller already holds, and whether the response says which branch ran. Without that, every write needs a search-and-branch in front of it, and the first time that check is skipped a duplicate record is created. Scored against the observed mean rather than raw — a provider at the catalog average is unchanged by this facet, not penalised by it.

The six quality facets above are damped to 75 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 25. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 75% of its nominal weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.

Agent readiness — checks not met, largest first (exact, from this profile):

Idempotency +9 pts — OpenAPI mutating operations declare an idempotency key — a header, a request-body property, or a named de-duplication token whose own description says so (verified); else common[].type matches /idempoten/i (documented)
A2A Agent Card +8 pts — a2a/-a2a.yml manifest, graded on conformance.grade against A2A 1.0.0
Registration Without a Human +6 pts — a `registration_endpoint` in the served RFC 8414 / OIDC discovery document
Delegated User Identity +6 pts — a served discovery document listing authorization_code in grant_types_supported (served), else an oauth2 authorizationCode flow or openIdConnect declared in an OpenAPI (documented)
Documented Reversibility +6 pts — a reversal operation in the contract, graded up when a window is documented too
Protected Resource Metadata +5 pts — a served /.well-known/oauth-protected-resource carrying `resource` (documented), and naming its authorization_servers (verified)

3 more unmet checks in the Agent Readiness table above.

Kin Score — facets with the most composite points still available (weight × headroom):

Contract Governance scores 31.8 — up to +8.2 composite points

Each check links to what satisfies it. Publish the artifact, or tell us where it already lives, and the score moves on the next scoring run.

Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from the provider profile at artifacts.apis.io/sonarqube/apis.yml: open an issue on github.com/api-evangelist/sonarqube to ask a question or point us at an artifact you publish.
