You will need 3 things:

1. Test runner that can output coverage/cobertura-coverage.xml file

2. This in your jenkinsifle

stage('Record Coverage') {
  when { branch 'main' }
  steps {
    script {
      currentBuild.result = 'SUCCESS'
    }
    step([$class: 'MasterCoverageAction', scmVars: [GIT_URL: env.GIT_URL]])
  }
}
stage('PR Coverage to Github') {
  when { allOf { not { branch 'main' }; expression { return env.CHANGE_ID != null } } }
  steps {
    script { currentBuild.result = 'SUCCESS' }

    // Don't fail whole pipeline if this step fails
    catchError(buildResult: 'SUCCESS', stageResult: 'FAILURE') {
      step([$class: 'CompareCoverageAction', publishResultAs: 'statusCheck', scmVars: [GIT_URL: env.GIT_URL]])
    }
  }
}

3. Branch protection on main branch for CI check
