Junie¶

Official docs:

• https://junie.jetbrains.com/docs/junie-cli-mcp-configuration.html
• https://junie.jetbrains.com/docs/junie-plugin-mcp-settings.html

Config Files¶

Project scope:

• .junie/mcp/mcp.json

User scope:

• ~/.junie/mcp/mcp.json

Junie CLI and Junie in JetBrains IDEs use the same MCP JSON configuration.

Example Config¶

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "yt-text": {
      "command": "yt-text",
      "args": []
    }
  }
}

If yt-text is not on PATH, use an absolute path for command.

Verify¶

Use the MCP UI inside Junie:

/mcp

Confirm yt-text is active, then ask Junie to run get_metadata.

Notes¶

• Junie has an MCP Installation Assistant that can help add or troubleshoot servers, but manual JSON config is still supported.
• Project-scope config is intended to be shareable, so do not commit secrets in .junie/mcp/mcp.json.
• Junie shows connection status for configured servers, which is the quickest way to spot a bad path or crashing binary.
