The JetBrains MCP Proxy forwards requests from an MCP client to a JetBrains IDE running the MCP Server plugin, connecting AI assistants to the IDE. The repository is deprecated and no longer maintained: the functionality has been integrated into IntelliJ-based IDEs since version 2025.2, and JetBrains directs users to the built-in MCP server.
To add jetbrains/mcpProxy to Claude, run the install command below or copy the ready-made config for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor and VS Code further down. Restart your client after adding it and its tools show up in your next conversation.
Install
npx -y inInstall with your client
claude mcp add jetbrains-mcpproxy -- npx -y in
Run this in a terminal to add the server to Claude Code.
What this does
jetbrains/mcpProxy exposes a set of tools to Claude over the Model Context Protocol. After you add it to claude_desktop_config.json (snippet above) and restart Claude Desktop, those tools become callable inside any conversation.

Python MCP SDK
The official Python SDK for the Model Context Protocol. With it, developers build MCP servers that expose tools, resources, and prompts to any MCP host, and MCP clients that connect to any MCP server, over the standard stdio, Streamable HTTP, and SSE transports; it requires Python 3.11+, and the optional CLI extra adds the mcp command-line tool (mcp dev, mcp run, mcp install). It is a development library, not a ready-made data server.
