Overview
C/C++test provides includes an MCP (Model Context Protocol) Server extension that allows you to smoothly integrate your LLM agents or applications (for example, Copilot) with enables seamless integration between C/C++test functionality. The C/C++test and AI agents or LLM-based coding assistants (such as GitHub Copilot). This MCP Server can be integrated used within any LLM-based enabled development environment that supports MCP Server integration, including Eclipse and other environmentsincluding Eclipse and others. With this extension, an LLM AI agent can interact directly with C/C++test, providing delivering context-aware guidance, analysis, and analysisautomation.
This extension allows you to use your LLM agentsuse an AI coding assistant to:
- Retrieve details about static analysis rules.
- Review static analysis violations reported in your project.
- Suggest fixes for violations based on provided code snippets or files.
- Suggest rules that are appropriate for specific issues.
- Access information from the product user guide.
The MCP server launcher is located in the <INSTALL_DIR>/integration/mcp directory.

The Parasoft MCP server uses the stdio transport protocol exclusively. Parasoft MCP tools do not access any external systems or services. |
The following procedure demonstrates how to integrate an LLM-based agent (using Copilot as an example) with C/C++test.

MCP Server Tools Reference
| Tool | Description | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| get_relevant_rules | Returns a list of static analysis rules matching the user query. Each entry contains the rule header and a comma-separated list of corresponding rule identifiers. | |
| get_rule_documentation | Returns the documentation for the static analysis rule together with a path to the original documentation file for reference. | An exact rule ID must be provided, for example, BD-PB-ARRAY. |
| get_violations_from_report_file | Extracts violations from a report XML file and outputs them in JSON format along with key details. Results are refined using optional filters: rule ID, severity and source file name. | An absolute path to the report XML file must be provided. The server must have local access to the file. Alternatively, you can use theCopy action in the Quality Tasks View to copy selected violation descriptions to the clipboard and paste them into the Copilot Chat window to request fixes. |
| search_documentation | Searches the documentation to retrieve relevant pages matching the user query. Returns the content of each page and its source URL. To search static analysis rule documentation, use get_rule_documentation or get_relevant_rules tools. |
