PyCharm
The professional Python IDE for you and your agents
Ship web, data, and ML code you can trust.
Free forever, 30 days of Pro included
One place to run agents and verify their work,
with jetbrains air
Configure how you work
Choose how each agent launches, in the GUI or the terminal, and what the IDE keeps front and center – your code or the agent session.
Move in parallel without losing context
Work with multiple agents at once, in one project or across several, without re-explaining state or codebase context.
Keep track of every session
See which sessions are currently running, done, or waiting on you. Comment on a line in the diff and send it back to the agent to act on.
Review and verify changes
Debugging, testing, profiling, and databases are all one click away, so you can confirm that nothing breaks before you merge the change.

Your agents, your models, your subscriptions
Python intelligence your agents can use too
PyCharm’s built-in MCP server gives agents that same precision through bundled skills. The IDE automatically detects the right environment and connects agents to a live Jupyter kernel, so they get accurate, targeted results.
AI agents perform better when they use PyCharm’s Jupyter notebook intelligence (read the study):

Agents create and run real notebook cells
Built for data science, web development, and ML – for pros or beginners alike
Whether you’re writing your first script or shipping to production, PyCharm has first-class support for your stack and workflow.
The full pipeline, from data acquisition to production code
Query databases directly in Jupyter notebooks with SQL cells that save straight to a dataframe. Convert notebooks to production-ready scripts in one click, with project-wide refactoring, usage analysis, conflict detection, and change previews to catch what breaks.
Work with your data consistently across notebooks, consoles, and debugging sessions, with the same filtering, multi-column sorting, column statistics, and charts wherever you are.
Tools for your entire Python web stack
PyCharm understands your entire web project, including FastAPI routes, Django models, JavaScript components, and the SQL underneath them. Manage uv dependencies, run your server, and query the database – the whole loop in one project.
Using Rust in your Python projects? Run and debug it natively alongside your Python code.
The professional toolkit from day one
PyCharm Pro is free for students and educators. From your first script to your first production deployment, web frameworks, data science and ML tools, remote development, and debugging are all included. Prefer to learn without AI assistance? You can turn it off entirely.

The JetBrains IDEs are by far my favorite development environments. Especially when working on large projects or code bases, PyCharm makes my life much easier. It integrates so many useful tools and handles so many different file types in one single environment. Bonus points for the IdeaVim plugin, which works surprisingly well and also allows for enabling popular extensions like vim-commentary.
I’ve always been a fan of JetBrains IDEs: the UI is incredibly intuitive, and the code completion, refactoring, and live template features make my daily programming routine actually enjoyable!
I use PyCharm to teach programming to over 130K students, and it’s the first IDE that I would recommend to anyone that wants to program using Python. It’s powerful, easy to use, and extremely intuitive.
I’ve used PyCharm for years, and it’s always felt like a superpower. As a maintainer working across a number of complex projects, PyCharm enables me to refactor with confidence, navigate across the stack, and stay focused on the code. With PyCharm, the IDE is never the limit.
PyCharm is my favorite IDE. From its beautiful UI to features that make my life as a coder easier, like full-line code completion and its support of Jupyter notebooks, I can’t imagine life without it. I’ve been using PyCharm for over ten years, and I’m impressed with how it keeps getting better and better!
PyCharm has a unique set of features compared to other IDEs: reliable and comprehensive refactoring capability and support for advanced run configurations. Furthermore, I like the “cockpit feeling“ of PyCharm. It’s a centralized space that allows me quick access to all the tools necessary for my work.
As a Hugging Face user, even more so than as a Hugging Face team member, the HF integration in PyCharm has been instrumental in speeding up the machine learning workflows I’ve worked on. As a result, I find myself keeping my focus in the IDE, with less context switching during development.
As a Django developer, PyCharm was one of the best investments I’ve ever made. I was skeptical at first, but after experiencing it, I can’t imagine going back.
There is only one tool that I use day to day that fundamentally changes how I create and maintain apps in Python, and that's PyCharm. There is simply no other editor or IDE that understands the entire structure of my application like PyCharm does. People may have heard me go on and on about how I love PyCharm, but it's genuine. PyCharm is the one tool I will not show up to write code without.
I love PyCharm's batteries-included approach. Instead of spending time endlessly configuring a text editor to act like an IDE, I just fire and forget PyCharm. Its incredible code refactoring functionality is like no other. I spend more time refactoring and editing existing code, and PyCharm allows me to do that with just a few keybinds. I believe it’s the tool if you want to get things done right away!

FAQ
PyCharm works with the AI agents you choose. Use JetBrains AI subscription, connect an agent through the ACP Registry, or bring your own API key – the workflow stays the same either way. There’s no lock-in at the agent or model layer.
Download JetBrains Air to bring agent work together in one place, from handing off a task to reviewing the result. Run several agents in parallel, see what each one is doing, and step in to edit or debug directly whenever something needs a closer look.
No. A JetBrains AI subscription lets you work with Claude, Codex, or Junie, but it’s not the only option – you can authorize agents directly through the coding agent itself, or connect third-party AI providers using your own credentials (like an API key). You can configure several providers at once and switch between them as your task requires.
