When to use the AI Code Review API

Manual review does not scale to every commit, and traditional linters miss context-dependent risks like injection through string interpolation or a secret committed in a config file. The AI Code Review API fills that gap: it reasons about the snippet the way a senior reviewer would, flags the issues that matter with a severity you can act on, and hands back a fix you can apply, all as structured JSON your tooling can parse.

Because it is a single stateless endpoint, you can wire it into a pull-request bot, a pre-deploy CI gate, or an editor extension in an afternoon. Pair it with the SEO Analyzer and the other Mecanik API tools to cover security, quality, and performance from one API key and one credit balance.
