JetBrains Central CLI Help

Quickstart

JetBrains Central CLI is a proxy that lets you run supported AI coding agents (Claude Code, Codex, and Gemini CLI) through JetBrains Central. This enables centralized governance, visibility, analytics, and billing regardless of the agent preferred by your developers.

Requirements

  • macOS, Linux, or Windows

  • Any modern browser

  • JetBrains Account with an active AI subscription

  • Network access to *.jetbrains.com, *.jetbrains.ai, and *.grazie.ai

  • Any supported AI agent: Claude Code, Codex, or Gemini CLI

Install JetBrains Central CLI

curl -fsSL https://central-cli.labs.jb.gg/install.sh | bash
irm https://central-cli.labs.jb.gg/install.ps1 | iex
curl -fsSL -o %TEMP%\install.cmd https://central-cli.labs.jb.gg/install.cmd && %TEMP%\install.cmd

To verify, run:

central --version

Log in

After you install JetBrains Central CLI, log in with your JetBrains Account:

central login

Authenticate with your JetBrains Account in the browser.

Wire agents

After you install JetBrains Central CLI and log in with your JetBrains Account, connect the necessary agents:

central add claude
central add codex
central add gemini

Use agents

Once you wire the agent, you can run it as usual. JetBrains Central CLI will route requests through JetBrains Central.

claude "explain this code"
codex "refactor this function"
gemini "review this PR"

Check status and usage

To see the authentication state, proxy status, and which agents are wired:

To see the current AI credit usage:

To launch the interactive text-based user interface in the terminal (TUI):

Report issues

The easiest way to report a bug is via the TUI:

  1. Run central

  2. Go to More > Report issue

This opens a browser form pre-filled with your version, OS, proxy status, wired agents, and the last 50 lines of the daemon log.

When contacting JetBrains support manually, gather the following information:

central --version # JetBrains Central CLI version central status # Auth, proxy, agent status, log level uname -a # OS information zip ~/.jetbrains-central/logs/ # Recent daemon logs
