CodeRabbit has established itself as a leading AI code review platform that helps development teams identify issues before production deployment. Over the approximately four months from October 2025 to early February 2026, CodeRabbit has made significant advancements across enterprise management, developer experience (DX), and integration capabilities. These updates demonstrate a clear direction: “Making AI-assisted code review more accessible, configurable, and suitable for enterprise environments.”
In this post, we will explore the key updates CodeRabbit has shipped since October 7, 2025. There have been various changes ranging from the new Claude Code integration to enhanced API capabilities for programmatic control, improved configuration management, and a simplified onboarding experience. If your organization is considering adopting CodeRabbit or is already using it, understanding these changes will help you leverage the platform more effectively.
Claude Code Plugin: AI Assistant Integration
As the most recent update deployed on February 3, 2026, a dedicated plugin system for Claude Code integration has been introduced. This provides a much smoother experience for developers who use Claude Code as their AI coding assistant. This plugin simplifies the setup process, narrowing the gap between your local development environment and CodeRabbit’s review capabilities.
This update is significant because it bridges the gap between the stage of writing code with AI assistance and the stage of having that code reviewed by AI. Thanks to this integrated experience, developers can maintain their workflow without the “Context Switching” required to move between tools.
For the installation process, please refer to the Claude Code integration documentation.
Once you install the CodeRabbit plugin in Claude Code, you can perform code reviews locally by simply giving Claude Code the following single-line command:
/coderabbit:review
You can also add options to the review request as shown below:
/coderabbit:review # Review all changes
/coderabbit:review committed # Only committed changes
/coderabbit:review uncommitted # Only uncommitted changes
/coderabbit:review --base main # Compare against main branch
Alternatively, you can request a code review through conversational prompts such as “Review my code,” “What are the issues in my code?”, or “Find security issues in my code.”
Therefore, those who have been actively using Claude Code can now take advantage of receiving a review locally before pushing to GitHub, rather than the traditional method where you had to push code to receive a review.
Customizable High-level Summary
On November 18, the Customizable PR Summary feature was introduced (currently in Beta for Pro tier users). You can now provide custom instructions on how CodeRabbit formats and structures the summary content.
CodeRabbit’s custom reports use natural language prompts to generate exactly the insights your team needs. Instead of a fixed template, you describe what you want, and CodeRabbit creates a tailored report in your preferred format, data, and structure.
This flexibility allows teams to:
- Align summary formats with existing team conventions.
- Emphasize specific aspects of changes relevant to the codebase.
- Control the level of technical detail in the summary.
- Align with documentation style guides.
This customization applies to the High-level summary that appears at the top of the CodeRabbit review, giving you direct control over how changes are conveyed to reviewers.
For more details, please refer to Customize reports.
Data Export and Review Metrics API
The January 14 update added two capabilities for accessing review metrics. You can now Export PR review metrics for a configured date range as a CSV directly from the dashboard, and simultaneously access the same data programmatically in JSON and CSV formats via a REST API.
This feature is particularly useful for engineering managers or teams pursuing continuous improvement.
- Export metrics for analysis in spreadsheets or BI tools.
- Build custom dashboards by fetching data programmatically.
- Track trends over time through automated data collection.
- Generate reports for stakeholder presentations.
By supporting both manual export and API access, both technical and non-technical users can access the insights they need.

Configuration Inheritance: Hierarchical Management
Introduced in the December 12, 2025 update, Configuration Inheritance simplifies the process of managing CodeRabbit across multiple repositories. When this feature is enabled, repository settings can inherit from higher-level settings, such as Organization or Team Defaults.
The system handles this intelligently:
- Nested settings are merged rather than completely overwritten.
- List values combine parent and child values.
- Customizations specified in individual repositories still take precedence.
This solves a common pain point for organizations with many repositories. Instead of duplicating configurations across dozens or hundreds of repos, you can define sensible defaults at the organizational level and specify overrides only where necessary. Changes to parent configurations automatically propagate to child repositories, significantly reducing maintenance burden.
Dual Editing Modes in Web Interface
On November 11, 2025, the settings interface was updated to support both Interactive UI Mode and YAML Editing Mode. The two modes are synchronized in real-time, so changes in one view are immediately reflected in the other.
This satisfies different user preferences and use cases:
- UI Mode: Ideal for exploring available options and making quick changes.
- YAML Mode: Suitable for developers who want precise control or prefer version-controllable configurations.
Thanks to real-time synchronization, the risk of inconsistencies between modes is eliminated, and you can switch views without worrying about losing work.
Improved GitHub Integration Onboarding
On October 14, the setup flow for new GitHub integrations was streamlined. The key changes include:
- Intuitive Organization Selection: Select an Organization immediately without navigating through multiple steps.
- Combined Configuration: Repository selection and permission configuration happen in a single flow.
- Initial Review Option: Trigger an initial code review right from the setup process.
These improvements shorten the Time-to-value. New users can get from starting the integration to receiving their first AI review much faster without getting lost in complex configuration steps.
CLI v0.3.4: Automatic Updates and Agent Detection
The CLI release deployed on October 10, 2025, introduced Background Automatic Updates, eliminating the need for manual version management. Now that the CLI updates itself, you can always use the latest features and fixes without interrupting your workflow.
Additionally, Agent Detection capabilities were added to identify if CodeRabbit is being used within Claude Code or Cursor environments. This allows CodeRabbit to optimize its behavior according to the context in which it is running.
Organization Stats in Custom Reports
At the beginning of this period, the October 7 update introduced Organization-level metrics for custom reports. Using the <include_org_stats> tag, reports can now include:
- Developer activity metrics
- Code quality trends
- Team velocity measurements
This provides engineering leadership with visibility into how AI code review is impacting the organization’s development practices.
User Management API: Programmatic Organization Control
On January 21, 2026, CodeRabbit released a User Management REST API that allows for programmatic management of teams within an organization. This feature is available only to Enterprise plan subscribers with admin privileges.
This API supports the following key operations:
- List users with filters: Query users within the organization with flexible filtering options.
- Bulk seat assignment: Add active seats for up to 500 users per request.
- Bulk seat unassignment: Remove user seats via batch operations.
- Role changes: Modify user permissions programmatically.
For organizations operating large development teams, the ability to eliminate the manual overhead of managing seats one by one through the web interface is a major advantage. You can now integrate CodeRabbit user management into existing provisioning workflows, such as SCIM, custom scripts, or HR system integrations.
Conclusion
Through these updates, CodeRabbit is maturing into a platform well worth using in the Enterprise, while maintaining developer-friendly usability. The API additions enable automation and integration, configuration inheritance supports expansion into large organizations, and the Claude Code plugin meets developers directly in their working environment.
For teams currently evaluating CodeRabbit or those already using it heavily, these updates can have a significant impact. The User Management and Metrics APIs open up possibilities for integration with existing tools, and configuration inheritance reduces maintenance overhead as the organization grows. Furthermore, streamlined onboarding helps new team members achieve productivity faster.
