cubic

cubic MCP server

cubic is an AI code review tool for GitHub pull requests. Its hosted MCP server connects your AI agent to cubic review findings, repository documentation, codebase scans, and team learnings.

What you can do

• Read open review findings on a pull request, including file locations, severity, and review status.
• Start a cloud review of a pull request.
• Resolve, reopen, or dismiss findings and record the outcome on the GitHub review thread.
• Read repository wikis and individual wiki pages.
• Browse codebase scan results, inspect issues, and update their triage status.
• Read the team's review learnings for a repository.
• Inspect organization subscriptions and members. Organization admins can also manage seats, roles, and supported billing settings.

MCP uses your cubic account's permissions. You need access to the relevant repository or organization; connecting the server does not grant additional access. Available tools depend on your permissions and subscription.

Connect

Use the URL exactly as shown, including www. The server is hosted by cubic, so no local server installation is needed.

GitHub Copilot in VS Code

1. Open the Command Palette and run MCP: Add Server.
2. Choose HTTP and enter https://www.cubic.dev/api/mcp.
3. Name the server cubic and choose a user or workspace configuration.
4. Run MCP: List Servers, start cubic, and complete the browser OAuth sign-in.
5. Use Copilot's agent mode with the cubic tools enabled.

You can also add this portable configuration to .mcp.json in your project. If the file already exists, add the cubic entry inside its mcpServers object:

{

"mcpServers": { "cubic": { "type": "http", "url": "https://www.cubic.dev/api/mcp" } } }

Cursor

Add the following to ~/.cursor/mcp.json for all projects, or .cursor/mcp.json for one project, then connect cubic in MCP settings and complete OAuth:

{

"mcpServers": { "cubic": { "url": "https://www.cubic.dev/api/mcp" } } }

Claude Code

claude mcp add --transport http --scope user cubic https://www.cubic.dev/api/mcp

Open Claude Code, run /mcp, choose cubic, and complete the browser OAuth flow.

Codex CLI

codex mcp add cubic --url https://www.cubic.dev/api/mcp

codex mcp login cubic codex mcp list

Scripts, CI, and clients without OAuth

Generate a personal API key in Settings > Integrations > MCP. Send it as a bearer token in the Authorization header and skip the client's OAuth login step.

For VS Code extension-host sessions, use an input in .vscode/mcp.json so the key is not written into the workspace configuration. For Agent Host sessions, use OAuth or a portable configuration with environment-based secrets; VS Code does not forward servers that require interactive input.

{

"inputs": [ { "id": "cubic-api-key", "type": "promptString", "description": "cubic personal API key", "password": true } ], "servers": { "cubic": { "type": "http", "url": "https://www.cubic.dev/api/mcp", "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer ${input:cubic-api-key}" } } } }

For scripts and CI, load the key from your secret store. Keys are personal and carry the creating user's permissions. You can revoke or regenerate a key from the same settings page.

Use it

After connecting, try these prompts, replacing the repository and PR with ones you can access:

• "Use cubic to list the open review issues on https://github.com/OWNER/REPO/pull/NUMBER."
• "Start a cubic review of PR #42 in acme/backend."
• "List wiki pages for acme/backend and show me the authentication system page."
• "Show codebase scan issues in acme/backend with severity at least 7."
• "What review learnings apply to acme/backend?"

get_pr_issues reads findings and review status; it does not start a review. An empty findings list means the current commit has no open findings only when its review completed and no newer commits exist. Use trigger_pr_review to start a cloud review.

Use PR issue IDs from get_pr_issues with update_pr_issue_status; this updates the GitHub review thread and queues an attributed reply. Use codebase scan issue IDs from get_scan with get_issue or update_issue_status.

For local code reviews, use the cubic CLI. cubic skills add workflows for investigating and fixing findings from your agent.
