Connect MCP clients to JetBrains IDE project tools は何をしますか?
Use the built-in JetBrains MCP server to let Codex, Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code, and other MCP clients inspect and operate an open IntelliJ-based project.
Prerequisites
IntelliJ IDEA or another IntelliJ-based JetBrains IDE version 2025.2 or newer, bundled MCP Server plugin enabled, an MCP-capable client such as Codex, Claude Desktop, Cursor, or VS Code
Installation
Requirements and caveats from upstream:
- STEP_* and RESUME require a suspended session.
- DRAIN_EVENTS also requires an existing session; do not reuse a stale sessionId after the session has terminated.
- Use exact child names from the current paused xdebug_get_frame_values / previous xdebug_get_value_by_path output because index node names may differ by language/debugger (for example, "[0]" vs "0" ).
Basic usage or getting-started notes:
-
The MCP server allows connected external clients to execute terminal commands or run configurations in the IDE without prompting for user confirmation each time.
-
In the Command execution section, enable the Run shell commands or run configurations without confirmation (brave mode) setting.
-
The MCP Server exposes a set of tools that allow external clients to interact with your IDE and project – for example, to analyze code, modify files, run configurations, or execute terminal commands.
