Re:MCP Steroid – Give AI the whole IDE, not just the files

> MCP Steroid gives your AI Agent the same semantic actions a JetBrains IDE gives humans — typed refactors, inspections, debugger, test runs, third-party plugins integration — so the Agent finishes in fewer attempts and you spend less time verifying its output. Ships today as a JetBrains IDE plugin.
The best of the experiment is that we aim to provide an AI Agent a headless experience, while running JetBrains' IDEs in the background.

Consider the example where the MCP plugin enables Claude Code to leverage IntelliJ's internals to work on the IntelliJ monorepo.

How would you envision it being used with agents like Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, and others? What could be the project you'd try it on? Imagine I release it, and you are using it today.

My main goal is to collect scenarios and feedback. There is no public GitHub link yet.
Look at my posts X (@jonnyzzz), LinkedIn (jonnyzzz), and on jonnyzzz.com, e.g., https://jonnyzzz.com/blog/2026/01/04/mcp-steroids-intellij/
At this stage, I aim to gather more feedback before going public.

IntelliJ-based IDEs are known for static code analysis features. Today, we offer an MCP Server plugin for IntelliJ that opens the door for your coding agent to unleash the power of IntelliJ and spend many fewer tokens. Share what you would do with that, and it will help me to proceed with the project.
I'm looking forward to your comments!
