Webstorm Support for AI

[John]

Hi all

I"m a user of Webstorm from JetBrains as part of my IDE suite. I've no real plans to go back to Visual Studio Code, however, I would like to be able to use the AI features, of which I can only find the implementation in VS.

What are the plans to support Webstorm?

Hello, John,

You can use the new AI Features in WebStorm through the dedicated MCP server.

The following requires running version 2025.2 or newer of WebStorm. You can enable MCP servers in Settings | Tools | MCP Server. Then you can add the KendoReact MCP server in the configuration file `~/.intellij/mcp.json`.

{
    "servers": {
        "kendo-react-assistant": {
            "type": "stdio",
            "command": "npx",
            "args": ["-y", "@progress/kendo-react-mcp@latest"],
            "env": {
                "TELERIK_LICENSE_PATH": "THE_PATH_TO_YOUR_LICENSE_FILE",
                // or
                "TELERIK_LICENSE": "YOUR_LICENSE_KEY"
            }
        }
    }
}

For more information on enabling MCP servers in WebStorm, check the following article:

• https://www.jetbrains.com/help/webstorm/mcp-server.html 
  

If you are using the GitHub Copilot Plugin, you can enter Agent Mode, and you should see the kendo-react-assistant tool when you click the Configure tools icon.

If you are using the JetBrains AI Assistant, you can check the following article about connecting MCP servers to the assistant:

I hope this helps. I stay at your disposal for further questions.
