mcp-jetbrains
This MCP server acts as a proxy to facilitate communication between clients and JetBrains IDEs.
The Model Context Protocol (MCP) server is designed to enhance the integration of JetBrains IDEs such as IntelliJ, PyCharm, and WebStorm with external tools and services. It allows for seamless request handling and data exchange, making it easier for developers to work within their preferred environments while leveraging additional functionalities. With the built-in support for SSE and JVM-based proxy, the MCP server streamlines the development process, enabling a more efficient workflow. Although this repository is now deprecated, the core features have been incorporated into IntelliJ-based IDEs since version 2025.2. Users are encouraged to utilize the built-in functionality for their projects. For those who previously relied on this NPM package, migration details are available in the official documentation, ensuring a smooth transition to the updated capabilities.
