JetBrains IDE Integration

MCP service at http://localhost:64342/sse (sse) with 22 tools.

Requirements

• mh CLI must be installed. If not available, install with:

  curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/vaayne/mcphub/main/scripts/install.sh | sh
  

• JetBrains IDE must be running with MCP plugin enabled

Usage

Notes

• Run inspect before invoking unfamiliar tools to get full parameter schema
• Timeout: 30s default, use --timeout <seconds> to adjust
• SSE port may vary - check IDE MCP plugin settings if connection fails
• All file paths are relative to project root unless absolute
