codescene-codehealth — Claude Code plugin: features and install
Inspects codebase health on a 1.0 to 10.0 scale, flags code smells, and catches technical debt regressions before commits inside Claude Code.
/plugin marketplace add anthropics/claude-plugins-community
/plugin install codescene-codehealth@claude-communityWhat codescene-codehealth does
This plugin connects Claude Code to the CodeScene MCP server. It scores file quality from 1.0 to 10.0, points out code smells, and inspects staged changes prior to commit. For pull requests, it evaluates branch diffs to spot deteriorating patterns early.
The tools run in standalone mode or hook directly into CodeScene Cloud and on-premise setups. A server connection reveals project hotspots and developer ownership maps for routing reviews. Authentication works through browser-based OAuth or personal access tokens.
Local Node.js is required so npx can launch the MCP server binary. Keep in mind that an active personal access token in your configuration disables OAuth until you remove that PAT.
What it helps with
- prevent code quality regressions in staged files prior to committing
- measure a file's numeric Code Health score from 1.0 to 10.0
- map project-level hotspots and targets for refactoring
- discover file owners to route code reviews effectively
Example prompts for the agent
- Check my staged files for quality regressions using
/codescene:safeguarding-ai-generated-code - Calculate the Code Health score for
src/index.tsand explain the findings - Identify the primary technical debt hotspots with
/codescene:prioritizing-technical-debt

What does codescene-codehealth do?
It provides code quality scoring between 1.0 and 10.0, surfaces code smells, and detects technical debt hotspots. It also guards against regressions when committing AI-written code.
How do you authenticate with CodeScene?
Ask Claude to sign you in with Log me in to CodeScene to start an interactive browser OAuth flow. If you configured a personal access token earlier, delete it first because an existing PAT blocks OAuth logins.
