JetBrains AI

Let JetBrains agents reach the computer, browser, and native tools around the IDE when a project-only workflow is not enough.

Setup tutorial

1. Install a current JetBrains IDE

• Open the official JetBrains download page.
• Install a current JetBrains IDE and launch it.
• Open the project you want to use.

Download JetBrains IDE

2. Enable AI Assistant

• Open Settings.
• Make sure JetBrains AI Assistant is installed/enabled and sign in if the IDE asks.
• Return to Settings after AI Assistant is ready.

3. Open MCP settings

• Go to Settings → Tools → AI Assistant → Model Context Protocol (MCP).
• Click Add to create a new MCP server.
• Choose the HTTP/remote server option.

4. Create a Noxgild Client Access Key

• Open your Noxgild account in the browser.
• Go to Security and create a Client Access Key for JetBrains.
• Copy the key when Noxgild shows it; the secret is shown once.

5. Configure Noxgild

• Name the server noxgild.
• Use the Noxgild MCP URL as the remote HTTP endpoint.
• Set the Authorization header to Bearer followed by the Client Access Key, then save/apply the server.

6. Verify the connection

• Open AI Assistant chat in JetBrains.
• Paste the verification prompt below.

Use the connected Noxgild MCP server only. Call noxgild_devices and list my available computers and their current status.

7. Confirm success

• Setup is complete when AI Assistant returns your authorized Noxgild computer and its status.
• In MCP settings, the Noxgild server should show as active/connected.

Before you start

• A current JetBrains IDE with AI Assistant and remote HTTP MCP support.
• A Noxgild Client Access Key created from the Security area.

Verification prompt

Send this to your AI client after setup:

Use the connected Noxgild MCP server only. Call noxgild_devices and list my available computers and their current status.

After authorization, send the verification prompt. You are connected when your authorized computer and its status appear.

Good first tasks

• Run this service on my test computer and verify the UI in the signed-in browser.
• Inspect the local process and logs while I work in IntelliJ.
• Open the native desktop client and verify the build.

Troubleshooting

• If the MCP server is not available to the AI Assistant, confirm the remote HTTP server configuration and Authorization header.
• Create a new least-privilege Client Access Key if the existing key was revoked or expired.

Connect a computer once

If you do not already have an authorized Windows, macOS, or Linux computer in Noxgild, run this in a terminal on that Windows, macOS, or Linux computer:

npx @noxgild/cli@latest connect

After approval, the same computer can be reused from other supported AI clients.
