JetBrains IDEs

JetBrains IDEs — IntelliJ IDEA, WebStorm, PyCharm, GoLand, PhpStorm, Rider, and others — provide the deepest language-aware intelligence in any editor. Type resolution, cross-project refactoring, database tools, and framework-specific inspections are built in. Junie, JetBrains' AI agent, leverages this rich language understanding alongside MCP tools for coding that respects your project's type system and architecture.

Deep Language Intelligence Meets MCP

JetBrains IDEs understand your code at the type level. When the AI agent makes changes, it leverages the IDE's type resolver, reference finder, and refactoring engine — not just pattern matching. This means AI-generated code respects your type hierarchy, catches type errors at edit time, and safely renames or moves symbols across the project.

MCP tools give the agent access to external systems while maintaining this language-level intelligence. Query a database through MCP, get schema information, and the agent generates type-safe code that matches the actual database structure.

Junie is JetBrains' AI agent that works across all IDEs in the family. It plans, codes, and runs tests with full access to the IDE's tooling — debugger, profiler, database console, and now MCP tools.

Features:

  • Junie agent — AI coding agent with IDE-native tool access
  • Deep type analysis — type-safe code generation and refactoring
  • All IDEs — IntelliJ, WebStorm, PyCharm, GoLand, PhpStorm, Rider, etc.
  • Database tools — SQL console, schema browser, and data editor
  • MCP integration — external tools available to the AI assistant
  • Framework support — Spring, Django, Next.js, Rails, and dozens more
  • Run/debug — integrated debugger and profiler accessible to the agent
