Installation

Prerequisite: Get a free Groq API key at console.groq.com/keys — no credit card required.

Claude Code CLI

claude mcp add code-sanitizer -e GROQ_API_KEY=gsk_your_key -- uvx mcp-code-sanitizer

Claude Desktop

OS

Config file

macOS

~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

Windows

%APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

Linux

~/.config/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "code-sanitizer": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["mcp-code-sanitizer"],
      "env": {
        "GROQ_API_KEY": "gsk_your_key_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Cursor

Create .cursor/mcp.json in your project (or ~/.cursor/mcp.json globally):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "code-sanitizer": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["mcp-code-sanitizer"],
      "env": {
        "GROQ_API_KEY": "gsk_your_key_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

VS Code

Requires VS Code 1.99+ with GitHub Copilot. Create .vscode/mcp.json in your project:

{
  "servers": {
    "code-sanitizer": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["mcp-code-sanitizer"],
      "env": {
        "GROQ_API_KEY": "gsk_your_key_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Or add globally via Ctrl+Shift+P → "MCP: Add Server".

Don't have uvx? Install it with pip install uv, then use the commands above.


Manual install (alternative)

If you prefer cloning the repo:

git clone https://github.com/notasandy/mcp-code-sanitizer
cd mcp-code-sanitizer
pip install -r requirements.txt
cp .env.example .env   # add your GROQ_API_KEY
python server.py

Then point the client config to:

{
  "command": "python",
  "args": ["/full/path/to/server.py"],
  "env": { "GROQ_API_KEY": "gsk_your_key_here" }
}

GitHub Action — automatic PR review

Add AI code review to any repository in 5 lines. The action posts a structured comment on every PR with score, issues, and fix suggestions.

# .github/workflows/ai-review.yml
name: AI Code Review
on:
  pull_request:
    types: [opened, synchronize]

permissions:
  contents: read
  pull-requests: write

jobs:
  review:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: notasandy/mcp-code-sanitizer@v1
        with:
          groq_api_key: ${{ secrets.GROQ_API_KEY }}

Add GROQ_API_KEY to your repository secrets → Settings → Secrets → Actions.

The action automatically:

  • Reviews only changed files (up to 10 per PR)

  • Posts a score and structured issue list as a PR comment

  • Fails the check if critical issues are found


Usage in chat

After connecting, just write naturally:

Review this code for vulnerabilities:

def get_user(user_id):
    query = f"SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = {user_id}"
    return db.execute(query)

Or call tools explicitly:

analyze_file /path/to/my_script.py
generate_tests for this function: ...
compare_code — before vs after refactor, did it get better?
generate_report and save to /tmp/report.html
