Which app do you use?

ClaudeClaude CodeCursorVS CodeChatGPT

Pick your app above. We remember it, so next time the button says “Install in …”.

Open Claude Desktop → Settings → Developer → Edit Config, and paste this into claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "sheriff": {
      "command": "docker",
      "args": [
        "run",
        "-i",
        "--rm",
        "ghcr.io/ryansmith4/sheriff-mcp:1.0.2"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add sheriff -- docker run -i --rm ghcr.io/ryansmith4/sheriff-mcp:1.0.2

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "sheriff": {
      "command": "docker",
      "args": [
        "run",
        "-i",
        "--rm",
        "ghcr.io/ryansmith4/sheriff-mcp:1.0.2"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

Open in VS Code

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .vscode/mcp.json in your project

{
  "servers": {
    "sheriff": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "docker",
      "args": [
        "run",
        "-i",
        "--rm",
        "ghcr.io/ryansmith4/sheriff-mcp:1.0.2"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

This one runs on your computer, and ChatGPT can only connect to servers on the internet. Pick another app.

Common questions

Is Sheriff safe?

It passed 1 of 1 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (1.0.2) reached the registry 8 months ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Docker on your computer.

What can I use instead?

Sheriff-MCP

Sheriff is an MCP server that helps AI agents efficiently fix static analysis issues from SARIF reports.

[Documentation](https://ryansmith4.github.io/sheriff-mcp/) | [Installation](https://ryansmith4.github.io/sheriff-mcp/getting-started/installation/) | [Tool Reference](https://ryansmith4.github.io/sheriff-mcp/tools/)

Why Sheriff?

AI agents struggle with large static analysis reports:

Context overload - 100+ issues overwhelm context windows
Lost progress - Work is lost on context compaction or session restart
Inefficient navigation - No batching means jumping between files repeatedly

Sheriff solves this by acting as a work queue manager:

Intelligent batching - Issues grouped by file for efficient fixing
Persistent progress - State survives compaction, restarts, and agent switches
Scope filtering - Focus on specific rules, severities, or file patterns
Compact responses - Minimal context usage with abbreviated field names

Supported Static Analysis Tools

Sheriff works with any tool that produces SARIF output:

Tool	Language	SARIF Command
Qodana	Java/Kotlin/JS/Python	`qodana scan`
Semgrep	Multi-language	`semgrep --sarif -o results.sarif`
ESLint	JavaScript/TypeScript	`eslint --format @microsoft/sarif`
CodeQL	Multi-language	Built-in SARIF output
SpotBugs	Java	`spotbugs -sarif`
Bandit	Python	`bandit -f sarif`
Checkov	IaC	`checkov -o sarif`
Trivy	Container/IaC	`trivy --format sarif`
SonarQube	Multi-language	Built-in SARIF export

Quick Start

1. Install

JAR (All Platforms) — Requires Java 21+

Download sheriff-mcp-1.0.2-all.jar from Releases.

Docker

docker pull ghcr.io/ryansmith4/sheriff-mcp:latest

MCP Registry

Clients that support the MCP Registry can install directly by name: io.github.ryansmith4/sheriff-mcp

See the Installation Guide for full details.

2. Configure Your MCP Client

Add Sheriff to your MCP client (Claude Code, Cursor, ChatGPT Desktop, etc.):

"mcpServers": { "sheriff": { "command": "java", "args": ["-jar", "/path/to/sheriff-mcp-1.0.2-all.jar", "start"] } } }

Or with Docker:

"mcpServers": { "sheriff": { "command": "docker", "args": ["run", "-i", "--rm", "-v", ".:/data", "ghcr.io/ryansmith4/sheriff-mcp:latest"] } } }

See the Agent Setup Guide for client-specific instructions and recommended agent instructions.

3. Use It

1. Run static analysis     →  qodana scan

Load into Sheriff → sheriff load target="results.sarif"
Get next file's issues → sheriff next
Fix all issues in file → [edit the code]
Mark as done → sheriff done fps=[...] status="fixed"
Repeat 3-5 → until remaining = 0

Sheriff exposes a single sheriff tool with 7 actions: load, next, done, progress, summary, reopen, and export. See the Tool Reference for full documentation.

Example Session

User: "Fix all ConstantValue issues in my codebase"

Agent: sheriff load target="build/qodana/qodana.sarif.json" → 136 total issues, 22 ConstantValue, 15 unused...

Agent: sheriff next scope={rule: "ConstantValue"} → 3 issues in Service.java with code snippets

Agent: [reads Service.java, fixes all 3 issues]

Agent: sheriff done fps=["88d32cab35478753", "ab1c2d3e12345678", "f9e8d7c6a1b2c3d4"] status="fixed" → 3 marked fixed, 19 remaining

... continues until remaining = 0
