Workflows first. Reference second.
Start with the task you need to finish: install, activate, scan, connect agents, gate PRs, export reports, or update Radar.
Verify each command result before expanding the workflow.
Summary
Implementation Docs
Use the docs hub to find the canonical implementation path for install, activation, local scans, MCP setup, GitHub Actions, reports, hooks, and troubleshooting.
Getting started
Install Radar, claim Free Preview or activate a paid license, then run the first local scan.
DocsInstall Radar
Install the native Code Radar CLI on macOS, Windows, or Linux, verify the binary, and prepare a first local security scan.
DocsActivate a license
Free Preview claims one local machine. Paid licenses claim machine slots locally and repository slots for GitHub Actions tiers.
DocsRun local scans
Use local SAST and code-health scans for daily work, agent repair loops, and larger PRs.
DocsMCP Server Setup
Install Radar as a local stdio MCP code review server so coding agents can inspect findings, summaries, and fix prompts.
DocsGitHub Actions
Run Radar as a GitHub Actions security scanner, fail risky PRs, and publish SARIF evidence.
DocsScanner Configuration
Tune Code Radar scan profiles, report output, cache behavior, vulnerability data, exclusions, and policy thresholds.
DocsSecurity Report Formats
Export SARIF reports, JSON security scan reports, HTML code security reports, and terminal evidence for review, CI, GitHub code scanning, and automation.
DocsRules Reference
Inspect Code Radar rules by category, understand finding identifiers, and tune policy thresholds around review-blocking risk.
DocsGit Hooks Setup
Install a pre-commit security scanner and Git hook security scanner that runs Radar before risky code reaches a commit.
DocsTrend history and badges
Track local score movement across scans, inspect recent history, and publish a lightweight README badge from local Radar data.
DocsBenchmark Methodology
Measure Code Radar scan time on real repositories with repeatable cold, warm, full, and diff-scope benchmark runs.
DocsUpdate Code Radar
Keep the native Code Radar CLI current across macOS, Windows, and Linux with signed update checks and rollback commands.
DocsAppSumo activation
Activate Code Radar with an AppSumo marketplace license key, verify the entitlement, and run a first local scan.
DocsPrivacy and telemetry
What leaves the machine during scans, license checks, website visits, and CLI usage.
DocsTroubleshooting Guide
Diagnose Code Radar install, license activation, MCP setup, GitHub Actions, report export, and local scan issues.
