Selection profile

Every field says where its value comes from. "Unknown" means we have not confirmed it — it does not mean the product lacks the feature.

Tasks it fits: Editing an existing codebase Reviewing diffs and pull requests
Derived from the record: the product reviews and refactors code rather than generating new features from a description.
Suggest a correction
How you use it: Web app
The pages read describe a hosted analysis platform with IDE and pull-request integrations, so the closest single form factor is a web application.
Suggest a correction
Runs on: Web
Derived from the record: the platform is used through the web UI and connected to Git hosting providers.
Suggest a correction
Where it runs: Vendor cloud Self-hosted
Matched on the vendor pricing page: each plan offers "On-prem (self managed)" or "Cloud-based", and the page footer adds "Available in the cloud or on-prem".
Suggest a correction
Works offline: Not recorded
The record contains no offline-operation claim; on-premise operation does not by itself establish offline use.
Suggest a correction
Official service region: Global
Mirrors the availability field already on the record ("global"); the vendor reports customers in 100 markets but publishes no per-region service list on the pages read.
Suggest a correction
Public API: Yes
Matched in the vendor documentation home: "Public API lets you automate CodeScene and access analysis data programmatically through the REST API."
Suggest a correction
Licence: proprietary
Commercial product; the vendor's policies page links terms, a DPA and a privacy policy rather than a source licence.
Suggest a correction
Commercial use: Not recorded
Commercial product; the terms are presented as internal-business-use with a signed addendum for external use, so the posture was not reduced to a simple yes/no.
Suggest a correction
Interface languages: Not recorded
No vendor page read in this pass states the product's own interface languages; the key exists so the field can be answered later rather than left absent.
Suggest a correction
Billing: Subscription Enterprise quote Free allowance: Limited Subscription required: No
Prices are the vendor’s advertised entry price and exclude taxes; always confirm on the vendor’s own page.

Overview

CodeScene AB gives its address as Hyllie Boulevard 34, 215 32 Malmö in its own cloud terms of service, which are governed by Swedish law and name the Malmö District Court as first instance; the company was founded in 2015 and the first version of the product was released in 2016. The platform mines version-control history, scores code with Code Health, and uses that score to decide where AI-assisted coding is safe. Its MCP Server enforces the quality target while coding agents run, and CodeScene ACE refactors unhealthy code so agents can touch it; the vendor reports a production rollout at the retailer loveholidays. The limitation is packaging: ACE and the MCP Server are add-ons, and the free Community Edition is aimed at open-source projects.

Key features

Frequently asked questions

What is CodeScene?

It is a software-engineering intelligence platform: it mines version-control history to score Code Health, flags hotspots, and uses those metrics to review code and keep AI-generated changes inside a quality target.

Where is CodeScene based?

CodeScene AB's own cloud terms of service give the address Hyllie Boulevard 34, 215 32 Malmö and state that Swedish law governs the agreement, with Malmö District Court as first instance.

How does CodeScene work with AI coding assistants?

It supplies a CodeHealth MCP Server that gives coding agents a deterministic quality target and flags regressions, while CodeScene ACE refactors unhealthy code so agents can modify it safely.

What does this record not establish?

The pages read do not state the product's own interface languages, an offline mode, or a per-region service list, so those fields remain unconfirmed.
