MCP Steroid enables AI Agents to interact programmatically with JetBrains IDEs, turning natural language into working code. Instead of clicking through menus, your AI Agents can run tests, analyze code, and orchestrate complex development workflows.

**New to agent-driven development?** Read about [coding in English with AI](https://jonnyzzz.com/blog/2026/01/27/coding-in-english-with-ai/) and [orchestrating AI fleets](https://jonnyzzz.com/blog/2026/01/30/orchestrating-ai-fleets/).

**See AI Agents in action:** The [How to Debug an IDE](/docs/how-to-debug-ide/) guide was written entirely by AI Agents using MCP Steroid while working on the IntelliJ Platform codebase - a real example of what autonomous agents can discover and document when given full IDE access.

**Build reusable skills:** Learn how to turn one-off API explorations into reusable AI Agent capabilities in [IntelliJ as a Skill Factory](/docs/skill-factory/).
