Integrate with IntelliJ IDEA

The MCP server is designed to work with MCP-compatible clients including IntelliJ IDEA.

You can find client-specific setup instructions in the respective client providers’ documentation. 

To enable MCP servers in IntelliJ IDEA, you must install their AI assistant and sign up for a premium account or at least a free trial. However, we have provided partial setup instructions below.

Install the MCP server on your machine to clone the repository and install dependencies. 

Install JetBrains AI Assistant:

  1. Open IntelliJ IDEA 

  2. Go to Settings -> Plugins 

  3. Search for and install JetBrains AI Assistant

For further instructions, see IntelliJ’s documentation on connecting to an MCP server

Attention

To complete the setup, you will need the mcp.json file under GitHub Copilot in VS Code.
