Overview

The mcp-jetbrains repository is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server designed to work with JetBrains IDEs, including IntelliJ, PyCharm, WebStorm, and Android Studio. It acts as a proxy server, facilitating communication between clients and the JetBrains IDE. However, this repository is no longer maintained as its core functionality has been integrated into all IntelliJ-based IDEs since version 2025.2. The built-in functionality now works with Server-Sent Events (SSE) and a JVM-based proxy for STDIO, making this NPM package obsolete. Users are advised to refer to the official documentation for using the built-in MCP functionality and to report issues or requests via JetBrains YouTrack.
