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.

Choose a theme

Browse the Design Skills page to compare available themes.

After you choose a theme, ask JetBrains AI Assistant or Junie to use it:

I like the Bento style. Let's 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 theme, ask for the interface you need, review the generated variations, and tell JetBrains which direction to continue with.
