Click on "Install Server".
Wait a few minutes for the server to deploy. Once ready, it will show a "Started" state.
In the chat, type @ followed by the MCP server name and your instructions, e.g., "@codeql-lsp-mcp Write a CodeQL query to find all eval calls in JavaScript."
That's it! The server will respond to your query, and you can continue using it as needed.
Here is a step-by-step guide with screenshots.
A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that wraps the CodeQL Language Server Protocol (LSP) to enable LLM agents to write CodeQL queries with intelligent code completion, hover information, and other language features. This server reuses key concepts from the VS Code CodeQL extension to provide a robust language server interface. This is different from a MCP server that wraps the CodeQL CLI tool. However, you can also add CodeQL CLI commands to the server too. Feel free to contribute.
CodeQL CLI installed and available in PATH or set CODEQL_PATH environment variable
Node.js 18 or later
cd codeql-lsp-mcp
npm install
npm run buildAdd to your MCP client configuration:
{
"mcpServers": {
"codeql": {
"command": "node",
"args": ["/path/to/codeql-lsp-mcp/dist/index.js"]
}
}
}[mcp_servers.codeql]
command = "node"
args = ["/path/to/codeql-lsp-mcp/dist/index.js"]If you would like to enable logging, in the LSP client you can set this.verbose = true;.
