MCP Server
Starting with version 2025.2, IntelliJ IDEA comes with an integrated MCP server, allowing external clients such as Claude Desktop, Cursor, Codex, VS Code, and others to access tools provided by the IDE. This provides users with the ability to control and interact with JetBrains IDEs without leaving their application of choice.
Enable the MCP Server plugin
This functionality relies on the MCP Server plugin, which is bundled and enabled in IntelliJ IDEA by default. If the relevant features are not available, make sure that you did not disable the plugin.
Press Ctrl+Alt+S to open settings and then select .
Open the Installed tab, find the MCP Server plugin, and select the checkbox next to the plugin name.
External client setup
For external clients like Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code, Codex, and Windsurf, configuration can be performed automatically:
In the main menu, go to .
Click Enable MCP Server.
In the Clients Auto-Configuration section, click Auto-Configure for each client you want to set up for use with the MCP server. This will automatically update their JSON configuration.

Restart your client for configuration to take effect.
If you want to connect to the MCP server from any other client, you will need to perform manual configuration:
In the Manual Client Configuration section, click either Copy SSE Config, Copy Stdio Config, or Copy HTTP Stream Config depending on the connection type.

Paste the copied configuration into your client's settings or configuration file.
Restart your client for configuration to take effect.
Execute actions without confirmation
The MCP server allows connected external clients to execute terminal commands or run configurations in the IDE without prompting for user confirmation each time.
To enable this mode:
In the main menu, go to .
In the Command execution section, enable the Run shell commands or run configurations without confirmation (brave mode) setting.
Click Apply.
Supported tools
The MCP Server exposes a set of tools that allow external clients to interact with your IDE and project – for example, to analyze code, modify files, run configurations, or execute terminal commands.
You can view and manage the full list of available tools in . From this page, you can enable or disable specific tools depending on your workflow and preferences.
Below you can find the list of tools provided by the MCP server.
Analysis tools
- build_project
Triggers building of the project or specified files, waits for completion, and returns build errors. Use this tool to build the project or compile files and get detailed information about compilation errors and warnings.
You have to use this tool after performing edits to validate if the edits are valid.

Debugger tools
- xdebug_control_session
Controls the execution of a debug session. Use this tool to step through code, resume execution, pause, or stop the debug session.
Preconditions:
A debug session must exist.
STEP_*andRESUMErequire a suspended session.
Actions:
STEP_INTO: Step into the next method call
STEP_OVER: Step over the current line
STEP_OUT: Step out of the current method
RESUME: Resume program execution until the next breakpoint
PAUSE: Pause program execution
STOP: Stop the debug session
WAIT_FOR_PAUSE: Wait until the session pauses (breakpoint hit or paused manually)
DRAIN_EVENTS: Drain tracepoint outputs for the session (breakpoint errors are drained for all actions)
Important notes:
If the program is running, use WAIT_FOR_PAUSE or PAUSE before
STEP_*/RESUME.Use a current
sessionIdfromxdebug_get_debugger_statusorxdebug_start_debugger_session. If a session stops, times out, or disappears, refresh the session list before the next session-scoped call.RESUME does NOT set breakpoints. If there are no enabled breakpoints (or none will be hit next), the program may run to completion and the session may stop without pausing.
After RESUME, call WAIT_FOR_PAUSE to confirm the next suspension. If WAIT_FOR_PAUSE times out, consider PAUSE and re-check breakpoints.
DRAIN_EVENTS also requires an existing session; do not reuse a stale
sessionIdafter the session has terminated.
Next call:
After RESUME, call
xdebug_control_session(action=WAIT_FOR_PAUSE).After a paused result, call
xdebug_get_stack/xdebug_get_frame_values/xdebug_evaluate_expression.
Status values in the result:
running: Program is executing
paused: Execution is suspended (breakpoint, step, or manual pause); paused results also include
frameValues, a current-frame snapshot inxdebug_get_frame_values(depth=0)format when availablestopped: Debug session has terminated
breakpointErrorsTailis returned for any actiontracepointOutputsTailis returned only for DRAIN_EVENTS
Event support scope:
Breakpoint error and tracepoint output events are currently reported only by JVM-based debuggers (Java, Kotlin, etc.).
On other debugger backends these event tails can be empty even when breakpoints/logging are configured.
Parameters:
sessionId: Debug session ID. Use the current ID returned byxdebug_get_debugger_statusorxdebug_start_debugger_session. If a session has stopped, timed out, or disappeared, refresh the session list before reusing an old ID. Format: uses session name as ID by default; if multiple sessions share the same name, ID is<sessionName>#<executionId>. If null and exactly one active session exists, it is selected automatically. If multiple sessions are active andsessionIdis omitted, the call fails. Default: null.action: Action to perform: STEP_INTO, STEP_OVER, STEP_OUT, RESUME, PAUSE, STOP, WAIT_FOR_PAUSE, DRAIN_EVENTS. Event draining is currently populated only by JVM-based debuggers (Java, Kotlin, etc.).timeout: Timeout in milliseconds to wait for action completion. Guidance: STEP_*/PAUSE usually 5000-15000; WAIT_FOR_PAUSE usually 30000-120000 depending on workload and breakpoints. Default: 30000.eventsLimit: Maximum number of latest events to drain per event list. For DRAIN_EVENTS this limit is applied independently tobreakpointErrorsTailandtracepointOutputsTail. Default: 100.clearEventsAfterRead: Compatibility flag. Returned events are always removed from internal buffers, regardless of this value.projectPath: The project path. Always provide this value if known to reduce ambiguous calls. If only the current working directory is known, you can use it as the project path.

breakpointIdis provided, removes matching breakpoint(s) for the selected owner.If
filePath+lineare provided, removes matching line breakpoint(s) for the selected owner.If multiple selectors are provided, all of them are combined (logical AND).
Idempotent: removing a non-existing breakpoint returns
removed=false.To remove all breakpoints regardless of owner, call twice: once with
owner=user, once withowner=agent.
Next call:
Use
xdebug_list_breakpointsto verify the remaining set.
Parameters:
breakpointId: Canonical breakpoint ID returned byxdebug_set_breakpointorxdebug_list_breakpoints.filePath: Optional file path to filter breakpoints. Path to the file. Supports project-relative paths, paths with .., absolute paths, archive entries like /path/lib.jar!/pkg/Foo.class, and URLs such as file://, jar://, and jrt://.

xdebug_get_stack/xdebug_get_frame_values/xdebug_evaluate_expression.If the session stopped or disappeared, refresh
sessionIdviaxdebug_get_debugger_statusbefore issuing another session-scoped call.
Parameters:
sessionId: Debug session ID. Use the current ID returned byxdebug_get_debugger_statusorxdebug_start_debugger_session. If a session has stopped, timed out, or disappeared, refresh the session list before reusing an old ID. Format: uses session name as ID by default; if multiple sessions share the same name, ID is<sessionName>#<executionId>. If null and exactly one active session exists, it is selected automatically. If multiple sessions are active andsessionIdis omitted, the call fails. Default: null.filePath: Path relative to the project root.line: Target line number (1-based).timeout: Timeout in milliseconds waiting for a paused/stopped result. Default: 30000.projectPath: The project path. Always provide this value if known to reduce ambiguous calls. If only the current working directory is known, you can use it as the project path.
- xdebug_set_breakpoint
Creates or updates a breakpoint. Use this tool to set line breakpoints, update existing breakpoints by ID, and control tracepoint/logging behavior.
Targeting modes:
By location: provide
filePath+line, and omitbreakpointId(or passnull). Do not use placeholder strings such as"","/", or"__omit__".By ID: provide an existing opaque canonical
breakpointIdreturned byxdebug_set_breakpointorxdebug_list_breakpoints(optionalfilePath/linecan relocate line breakpoints).
Validation:
In location mode, both
filePathandlineare required.In ID mode, breakpoint must exist and be uniquely identified by
breakpointId.In location mode,
filePathis relative to the project root,lineis 1-based, and the target location must be executable.
Event reporting:
Invalid
conditionexpressions are reported asynchronously viaxdebug_control_session(...).breakpointErrorsTail.Tracepoint output from breakpoints with
isLogMessageand/orisLogStackis drained viaxdebug_control_session(action=DRAIN_EVENTS).tracepointOutputsTail.Breakpoint-error and tracepoint-output reporting are currently supported only by JVM-based debuggers (Java, Kotlin, etc.).
A successful
xdebug_set_breakpointresponse does not guarantee thatconditionor tracepoint expressions are valid; check laterbreakpointErrorsTailbefore relying on them.Successful line-breakpoint responses also include
lineText, a truncated excerpt of the actual source line where the breakpoint now resides. Inspect it to confirm placement before resuming.
Apply semantics:
Provided fields are applied as the resulting state for the target breakpoint.
condition=nullclears existing condition.isLogMessage=truelogs breakpoint hit position.isLogStack=truelogs current stack trace.If both flags are true, both position and stack are logged.
With
isLogMessage/isLogStack+suspendPolicy=NONE, the breakpoint behaves as a tracepoint.In ID mode, if
filePath/lineare provided for a line breakpoint, it is relocated (recreated) at the new location.In ID mode, for non-line breakpoints,
filePath/lineare ignored and reported inmessage.Any successful operation marks breakpoint as
agentownership (mcpBreakpointMarker).
Next call:
Use returned
lineTextand/orxdebug_list_breakpointsto verify placement.Start/continue execution via
xdebug_start_debugger_sessionorxdebug_control_session(action=RESUME).
Parameters:
breakpointId: Canonical breakpoint ID returned byxdebug_set_breakpointorxdebug_list_breakpoints.filePath: Optional file path to filter breakpoints. Path to the file. Supports project-relative paths, paths with .., absolute paths, archive entries like /path/lib.jar!/pkg/Foo.class, and URLs such as file://, jar://, and jrt://. Any path returned from the other tools can be passed as is (e.g. paths fromsearch_*tools). If not specified, returns all breakpoints. Default: null.line: 1-based line number. Required only in location mode. Optional in ID mode to relocate line breakpoints.condition: Optional condition expression - breakpoint will only trigger when this evaluates to true. Validation errors are reported asynchronously viaxdebug_control_session(...).breakpointErrorsTail(JVM-based debuggers only). Default: null.isLogMessage: Whether to log breakpoint hit position (source location) when breakpoint is reached. In JVM-based debuggers output is available viaxdebug_control_session(action=DRAIN_EVENTS).tracepointOutputsTail. Default: false.isLogStack: Whether to log stack trace when breakpoint is reached. In JVM-based debuggers output is available viaxdebug_control_session(action=DRAIN_EVENTS).tracepointOutputsTail. Default: false.temporary: Temporary breakpoint (removed after first hit). Default: false.suspendPolicy: Suspend policy: ALL, THREAD, NONE. Default: ALL.enabled: Whether breakpoint is enabled. Default: true.projectPath: The project path. Always provide this value if known to reduce ambiguous calls. If only the current working directory is known, you can use it as the project path.

- xdebug_start_debugger_session
Start a debugger session for either an existing run configuration by name or a code location (
filePath+line) in the current project. Use this tool to start a debugger session. Use this tool with either an existing run configuration name, or withfilePath+line. When usingfilePath+line, a line with a runnable method such asmain, a test, or another executable entry point will almost always work. If you are unsure which line to use,get_run_configurationscan help discover runnable locations in the file. The session will be started, and you can then use other debugger tools to control execution.Preconditions:
When using
configurationName, pass the exact existing run configuration name; do not pass a test method name or other derived target identifier.When using
filePath+line, point at a runnable code location such asmain, a test, or another executable entry point.Set at least one breakpoint first; otherwise the program may run to completion without pausing.
Pass either
configurationName, orfilePathtogether withline. These modes are mutually exclusive.
Behavior:
Waits for session creation up to
timeout.Applies a grace wait (
graceWaitMs) after the session starts and returns refreshed state.Optional launch overrides (
programArguments,workingDirectory,envs) are applied only for this debug launch and are not persisted.get_run_configurationsis the source of truth for override support: only pass launch overrides when the selected run configuration reportssupportsDynamicLaunchOverrides=true.Do not pass these override parameters unless you explicitly need to change the configured launch values for this debug launch.
Missing/null override parameters keep existing run configuration values unchanged.
For string overrides (
programArguments,workingDirectory), missing/null or empty string ("") keeps the existing value unchanged.Pass a whitespace-only string such as
" "to clear an existing value for this debug launch.
Next call:
xdebug_control_session(action=WAIT_FOR_PAUSE)to wait for first suspension.After pause, call
xdebug_get_stackandxdebug_get_frame_values(orxdebug_evaluate_expression) for runtime evidence.
Returns a flat result with debugger session metadata plus the execution snapshot fields from the launch:
sessionId,name,status, and optionalrunConfigurationNameoutputpreview and optionalfullOutputPathoptional
