Codecov Coverage Checks

Query Codecov data to check coverage before pushing, find untested code, and compare branches.

Prerequisites

Ensure the codecov MCP server is configured:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "codecov": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["@smart145/codecov-mcp-server"],
      "env": { "CODECOV_API_TOKEN": "..." }
    }
  }
}

Common Workflows

Check Repository Coverage

Use codecov_get_coverage_totals with owner and repo.
Report: coverage percentage, lines covered/missed, file count.

Check File Coverage

Use codecov_get_file_coverage with owner, repo, and path.
Report: coverage percentage, uncovered line numbers, total lines.
Suggest specific tests for uncovered lines if requested.

Pre-push Coverage Check

1. Identify changed files from git status/diff
2. For each changed file, call codecovgetfile_coverage
3. Report files with <80% coverage
4. Suggest which files need tests before pushing

Compare Branch Coverage

Use codecov_compare_coverage with owner, repo, and base/head branches.
Report: coverage change (+/-%), files with decreased coverage, patch coverage.

PR Coverage Review

Use codecov_compare_coverage with owner, repo, and pullid.
Report: overall coverage change, files with coverage drops, untested new code.

Find Low Coverage Areas

Use codecov_get_coverage_tree with owner, repo, and optional path/depth.
Report: directories/files sorted by coverage (lowest first).

Tool Reference

Output Format

Keep coverage reports concise:

## Coverage: owner/repo

**Overall**: 78.5% (1,234/1,571 lines)

### Files needing attention
- src/api/handler.ts: 45% (lines 23-45, 67-89 uncovered)
- src/utils/parser.ts: 62% (lines 12-18 uncovered)

### Recommendation
Add tests for handler.ts error paths before pushing.
