# Connect Kataven MCP to JetBrains AI Assistant

> Wire Kataven into JetBrains AI Assistant — IntelliJ IDEA, PyCharm, WebStorm, Rider, GoLand, and every other JetBrains IDE.

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.

<Note>
  Already done [Install](/sdks/mcp/install)? Skip to step 2.
</Note>

## 1. Mint an API key + install the binary

`pip install kataven-mcp`, then mint a key at [hub.kataven.ai/settings](https://hub.kataven.ai/settings) → **API Keys** tab. Full walkthrough: [Install](/sdks/mcp/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:

```json theme={null}
{
  "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
