The server proxies requests from client to JetBrains IDE.
  1. Click the "Install Now" button to open the FastMCP connection interface where ENV values are entered.
  2. Open your JetBrains IDE (IntelliJ IDEA) and go to Settings → Tools → MCP Server.
  3. Enable the MCP Server (toggle "Enable MCP Server") if it isn’t already enabled.
  4. In the MCP Server settings use either:
    • Clients Auto-Configuration → Auto‑Configure (if your client is listed), or
    • Manual Client Configuration → Click "Copy SSE Config" or "Copy Stdio Config" (choose SSE or Stdio depending on your client).
  5. Paste the copied configuration JSON into a text editor and locate the connection details:
    • If the JSON contains a "host" and "port", use those values.
    • If it doesn’t, determine the port from your IDE debug settings (Settings → Build, Execution, Deployment → Debugger or from the relevant Run/Debug configuration).
  6. If you will connect from another machine or container, in the IDE enable "Can accept external connections" (Settings → Build, Execution, Deployment → Debugger) and use your machine’s LAN IP as HOST instead of 127.0.0.1.
  7. In the FastMCP connection interface (opened via "Install Now") fill the ENV fields:
    • IDE_PORT:
    • HOST: <the host/IP from the copied config; default is 127.0.0.1 or your LAN IP for external clients>
    • LOG_ENABLED: true or false (optional — set "true" to enable logging)
  8. Save the FastMCP connection configuration.
  9. Restart the client (and/or the IDE if prompted) so the new ENV values take effect.
  10. Verify the connection (e.g., trigger a simple MCP request from your client or check the MCP Server UI in the IDE to confirm an active client connection).
