Use TypeUI with JetBrains

Follow this guide to connect JetBrains AI Assistant or Junie to TypeUI while it edits UI in your project.

Open your JetBrains IDE

Open the project where you want JetBrains AI Assistant or Junie to build UI. This works with JetBrains IDEs such as WebStorm, IntelliJ IDEA, PhpStorm, PyCharm, and others that support MCP.

Add TypeUI to JetBrains

Open Settings → Tools → AI Assistant → Model Context Protocol (MCP) and add an HTTP server.

Use this configuration:

Plain text
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "typeui": {
      "url": "https://mcp.typeui.sh/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Click OK, then Apply to start the server connection.

For Junie, open MCP Settings or run /mcp, choose a remote server, and use the same URL:

Server URL
https://mcp.typeui.sh/mcp

Sign in with TypeUI if JetBrains asks you to authorize the connection.

Create a draft

Review the markdown

Open View markdown source files and review them before publishing.

Files to review

The main entry file. It tells AI tools how to use this design system and where to look next.Logo and brand asset guidance. Colors, typography, and spacing stay in their own files.Color tokens and usage guidance for brand, surfaces, text, borders, and states.Font families, sizes, weights, line heights, headings, labels, and body text rules.Spacing, grids, containers, responsive behavior, and layout structure rules.Button sizes, variants, states, icon spacing, focus behavior, and accessibility rules.+14 more

Edit the source files

Adjust the markdown when you need clearer rules, stronger component guidance, or product-specific language. After publishing, TypeUI MCP uses your saved edits when it helps your AI tool build UI.

Publish for MCP

Publish when ready so your MCP-connected AI tool can use it.

Start building UI

Build me a landing page.

Tell JetBrains AI Assistant or Junie what to build. TypeUI helps it choose the right style and layout.

Review and refine

Run your app and review the changes. Ask JetBrains AI Assistant or Junie for targeted improvements:

I don't like this pricing section, give me more variations.

TypeUI will now create three pricing variations so you can compare different layouts before choosing one.

After you choose a direction, tell JetBrains AI Assistant or Junie which one to use:

I like the comparison one. Let's use it.

Once JetBrains is connected to TypeUI, you can keep working in the same flow: choose a design system, ask for the interface you need, review the generated variations, and tell JetBrains which direction to continue with.
