# JetBrains IDE Integration

MCP service at `http://localhost:64342/sse` (sse) with 22 tools.

## Requirements

- `mh` CLI must be installed. If not available, install with:
  ```bash
  curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/vaayne/mcphub/main/scripts/install.sh | sh
  ```
- JetBrains IDE must be running with MCP plugin enabled

## Usage

List tools: `mh -u http://localhost:64342/sse -t sse list`
Get tool details: `mh -u http://localhost:64342/sse -t sse inspect <tool-name>`
Invoke tool: `mh -u http://localhost:64342/sse -t sse invoke <tool-name> '{"param": "value"}'`

## Notes

- Run `inspect` before invoking unfamiliar tools to get full parameter schema
- Timeout: 30s default, use `--timeout <seconds>` to adjust
- SSE port may vary - check IDE MCP plugin settings if connection fails
- All file paths are relative to project root unless absolute
