Connect Kataven MCP to JetBrains AI Assistant

JetBrains AI Assistant is a built-in MCP client (since IDE version 2025.1). The setup is the same across every JetBrains IDE — IntelliJ IDEA, PyCharm, WebStorm, Rider, GoLand, RubyMine, CLion, PhpStorm, Android Studio.

Already done Install? Skip to step 2.

1. Mint an API key + install the binary

pip install kataven-mcp, then mint a key at hub.kataven.ai/settings → API Keys tab. Full walkthrough: Install.

2. Open the AI Assistant MCP settings

Settings → Tools → AI Assistant → Model Context Protocol (MCP). (Alternative: in any AI Assistant chat, type / and pick Add Command — opens the same panel.)

3. Add the server

Click + Add. Pick STDIO as the transport. Paste:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "kataven": {
      "command": "kataven-mcp",
      "env": {
        "KATAVEN_API_KEY": "sk_live_acme_..."
      }
    }
  }
}

Save. AI Assistant launches kataven-mcp as a subprocess and indicates the server is healthy with a green dot in the same panel.

4. Verify

Open AI Assistant chat (right sidebar or Tools → AI Actions). Ask:

List all my Kataven agents.

The chat calls kataven_list_agents and returns the result inline.

5. Verify in the dashboard
