McpProxy Overview

This MCP proxy server routes Model Context Protocol requests from clients to JetBrains IDEs such as IntelliJ, PyCharm, WebStorm, and Android Studio. It requires the MCP Server plugin installed in the IDE. The project is deprecated since its core functionality is integrated into IntelliJ-based IDEs from version 2025.2 onward. Use this proxy only if you need compatibility with older IDE versions or specific external clients.
