JetBrains
JetBrains connects to Zephex through the AI Assistant MCP settings instead of a repo file. Add the hosted server entry there, then restart the IDE.
WHAT IS DIFFERENT HERE
Editor-specific MCP wiring
JetBrains MCP setup is UI-driven. The relevant path is inside AI Assistant settings, not a dotfile in the repo.
CONFIG LOCATION
Open AI Assistant -> MCP Servers in IDE settings and add a hosted server entry.
Keep the server name stable as zephex and swap only the key between environments.
PREREQUISITES
- A supported JetBrains IDE such as IntelliJ IDEA, PyCharm, WebStorm, GoLand, or Rider.
- The AI Assistant plugin installed and enabled.
- An active Zephex API key.
CONFIG
- Paste the JSON into the MCP server dialog or map each field manually in the UI.
- Use the hosted /mcp URL and Bearer Authorization header exactly.
- Keep the server name stable as zephex so it is easy to identify in screenshots and support requests.
JetBrains MCP settings
{ "mcpServers": { "zephex": { "url": "https://zephex.dev/mcp", "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" } } }}RESTART
- Save the MCP server entry in settings.
- Restart the IDE.
- Open a fresh AI Assistant panel after the restart.
VERIFY
- Open the AI Assistant panel and confirm the MCP server is connected.
- Ask the assistant which tools are available before normal prompting.
- If the server does not appear, verify the plugin and settings path first.
COMMON ISSUES
- The AI Assistant plugin is missing or disabled.
- The IDE was not restarted after saving the server entry.
- The MCP server fields were entered manually with the wrong header format.
If the editor still does not connect, return to Quickstart or check Connection Issues.
