# CodeScene

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

- Code Health score and hotspot analysis built from version-control history
- CodeHealth MCP Server that enforces a deterministic quality target while AI coding agents work
- CodeScene ACE, an AI refactoring agent for IDE and pull-request workflows
- Automated pull-request review with quality gates
- Support for 30+ programming languages, deployed in the cloud or on-premise
- Technical-debt prioritisation weighted by business impact and team data

## Use cases

- Safeguarding AI-generated code before it is merged
- Prioritising technical debt by business impact instead of warning count
- Running code-quality analysis on-premise for teams that cannot use SaaS

## Pricing

The pricing page lists a Standard plan at €18 with yearly billing (advertised as a 10% saving), delivered on-premise (self-managed) or cloud-based. Pro, enterprise terms, and the ACE and MCP Server add-ons are quote-based, and a free Community Edition covers open-source projects.

## FAQ

**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.
