What your AI agent can do

Once devrig connects your agent to a JetBrains IDE through MCP Steroid, the agent stops guessing through file edits and calls the IDE’s real semantic actions.

What your AI Agent can do

  • Refactor safely: rename a symbol across the whole project in one operation, extract methods, move classes
  • Debug: set breakpoints, step through code, inspect variables — all programmatically
  • Run inspections: surface real errors before committing, not just syntax issues
  • Execute tests: run and analyze test results without leaving the AI Agent flow
  • See the IDE: screenshot capture, UI interaction, modal dialog handling
  • Run without an open IDE: with devrig, the agent connects to a running IDE — or downloads and starts one itself
  • Integrate third-party plugins: call APIs from IntelliJ plugins loaded in the IDE — internal tooling, language plugins, custom inspections — without a custom MCP server
  • Go beyond the built-in MCP server: run IntelliJ API through steroid_execute_code — not just a fixed catalogue of file/search tools
  • Create skills from the running IDE: pass an IntelliJ API snippet yourself, or let your AI Agent learn from the running IDE and write the Skill for you

Who it helps

When you ship features

Your AI Agent drives a real JetBrains IDE on your code — safe renames, extract/move refactors, inspections, the debugger, and test runs — using the same tools you would.

When you review & verify

Your AI Agent runs the same inspections, build, and tests you use to check your own work, inside the IDE, before opening a review.

When you run a team or platform

Point your AI Agents at a large codebase: devrig provisions a managed IDE backend so agents get the same semantic tools. We also run Proof-of-Concept engagements tuned to your repos.

Works with your agents and IDEs

Use it with MCP-capable coding agents — including Claude, Codex, Gemini, Cursor, and OpenCode — and with IntelliJ-family IDEs such as IntelliJ IDEA, PyCharm, GoLand, WebStorm, Rider, and Android Studio.
