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:
{
"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:
https://mcp.typeui.sh/mcp
Sign in with TypeUI if JetBrains asks you to authorize the connection.
Create a draft
Start from a theme, a markdown ZIP, or a Figma import. TypeUI creates an editable draft design system in your workspace.
Review the markdown
Open View markdown source files and review them before publishing.
Files to review
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.
