JETBRAINS
JetBrains IDEs + Syncfusion
JetBrains development environments with AI Assistant MCP client support.
Quick start
Open your JetBrains IDE and send one prompt to AI Assistant.
Paste the setup prompt
This is the only setup instruction you need to provide. The JetBrains AI Assistant may ask you to approve commands before running them.
No license, API key, or account is needed to read the setup instructions. Using Syncfusion libraries in an application requires a commercial, Community, or trial license.
What the JetBrains AI Assistant does
- Fetches the official setup instructions.
- Detects the project platform from its manifest.
- Reads the appropriate platform guidance and public documentation.
- Checks whether a Syncfusion MCP server is configured.
- Reports the detected platform, MCP status, and any licensing action.
What the setup provides
Agent-readable instructions
JetBrains IDEs are supported as a Syncfusion MCP client, but they are not a verified target of the skills installer. Do not create a skills directory and assume the IDE reads it.
The setup prompt still gives the assistant platform routing, public documentation, and licensing guidance for the current session.
Optional MCP documentation retrieval
MCP retrieves current Syncfusion documentation using a separate MCP API key. It is not required for public documentation.
Agent-readable documentation
/llms.txt — routing · /llms-full.txt — full documentation · /agent-setup/prompt.md — setup instructions
Advanced manual setup
The quick-start prompt is sufficient for normal setup. Use this section only when you want to configure optional live documentation retrieval yourself.
Configure MCP — optional
MCP gives JetBrains IDEs live Syncfusion documentation retrieval. It requires an API key from your Syncfusion account. This is not a product license key.
MCP location: AI Assistant → MCP settings
Follow the exact JetBrains IDEs MCP configuration guide.
Variable casing is exact. Use Syncfusion_API_Key_Path. Never put the API key value in a file that could be committed.
Example prompts
After setup, give JetBrains IDEs a normal development request without naming a package or platform.
Verify it worked
In a fresh session, ask the JetBrains AI Assistant to add a Syncfusion component. Confirm three signals.
| 1 | It identifies the platform from the project manifest before writing code. |
| 2 | It uses platform guidance or MCP results rather than producing an ungrounded remembered snippet. |
| 3 | It mentions license registration and does not emit a key. |
If it writes Syncfusion code from memory, confirm MCP is available or run the setup prompt again before asking it to implement the component.
Frequently asked
- Do I need a Syncfusion license to use the setup instructions?
- No. Reading the instructions requires no license, key, or account. Using Syncfusion libraries requires a commercial, Community, or trial license.
- Is MCP required?
- No. MCP retrieves current documentation and requires an API key. Public routing and platform documentation work without it.
- Is the MCP API key the same as my license key?
- No. The MCP API key authenticates documentation retrieval. A product license key covers your use of Syncfusion libraries.
