JetBrains AI Assistant

JetBrains AI Assistant supports MCP servers from 2025.1 onward, configured per-IDE and shared across projects.

Add it

Settings UI
  1. Settings → Tools → AI Assistant → Model Context Protocol (MCP)
  2. Add (+)
  3. Choose the remote / HTTP server type
  4. URL: https://mcp.vulnetix.com/mcp
  5. Add header Authorization = ApiKey <orgId>:<hex>
  6. Apply, then restart the IDE
JSON

The same panel has Edit as JSON:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "vulnetix": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.vulnetix.com/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "ApiKey <orgId>:<hex>"
      }
    }
  }
}
Warning MCP support and its exact settings path have moved across JetBrains releases, and some builds only accepted stdio servers before adding remote HTTP. If you cannot find the panel or it rejects a URL-based server, update the IDE and the AI Assistant plugin first. On an older build, use the stdio bridge.

Confirm it works

Open the AI Assistant tool window and switch to a chat mode that allows tools (named Agent or Codebase depending on version). The tools list should include Vulnetix.

Does this project’s Maven dependencies include anything in the CISA KEV catalogue?

Worth knowing

AI Assistant licence required. MCP is part of the paid AI Assistant feature set, not the free IDE.

Junie is JetBrains’ separate autonomous agent. Its MCP support differs from AI Assistant’s and has been more limited; if Junie cannot add a remote server on your build, use AI Assistant for Vulnetix.

Restart after changes. The IDE reads MCP config at startup.

Troubleshooting

No MCP panel. Update the IDE and the AI Assistant plugin. Below 2025.1 it does not exist.

Server added but no tools. Restart the IDE, and confirm the chat mode allows tools.

401 in results. Both halves of the key.
