+
+These are some guidelines when using the SonarQube MCP server.
+
+# Important Tool Guidelines
+
+## Basic usage
+
+- **IMPORTANT**: After you finish generating or modifying any code files at the very end of the task, you MUST call the `analyze_file_list` tool (if it exists) to analyze the files you created or modified.
+- **IMPORTANT**: When starting a new task, you MUST disable automatic analysis with the `toggle_automatic_analysis` tool if it exists.
+- **IMPORTANT**: When you are done generating code at the very end of the task, you MUST re-enable automatic analysis with the `toggle_automatic_analysis` tool if it exists.
+
+## Project Keys
+
+- When a user mentions a project key, use `search_my_sonarqube_projects` first to find the exact project key
+- Don't guess project keys - always look them up
+
+## Code Language Detection
+
+- When analyzing code snippets, try to detect the programming language from the code syntax
+- If unclear, ask the user or make an educated guess based on syntax
+
+## Branch and Pull Request Context
+
+- Many operations support branch-specific analysis
+- If user mentions working on a feature branch, include the branch parameter
+
+## Code Issues and Violations
+
+- After fixing issues, do not attempt to verify them using `search_sonar_issues_in_projects`, as the server will not yet reflect the updates
+
+# Common Troubleshooting
+
+## Authentication Issues
+
+- SonarQube requires USER tokens (not project tokens)
+- When the error `SonarQube answered with Not authorized` occurs, verify the token type
+
+## Project Not Found
+
+- Use `search_my_sonarqube_projects` to find available projects
+- Verify project key spelling and format
+
+## Code Analysis Issues
+
+- Ensure programming language is correctly specified
+- Remind users that snippet analysis doesn't replace full project scans
+- Provide full file content for better analysis results
