pi-acp-jetbrain: run pi inside JetBrains IDEs

[ryan-brosas]

pi-acp-jetbrain is an Agent Client Protocol (ACP) adapter that runs pi inside JetBrains IDEs. IntelliJ 2026.2 or newer is the primary host.

You chat with pi in the IDE's agent panel. Pi streams its answers there, and tool calls show up as they run. Each chat gets a fresh pi process, so sessions stay separate. Pi can reach the IDE's own tools too, like inspections and file problems.

Setup is one config file:

{
  "agent_servers": {
    "pi-acp-jetbrain": {
      "command": "/path/to/pi-acp/dist/index.js",
      "args": [],
      "env": { "PI_ACP_PI_COMMAND": "/path/to/pi" }
    }
  }
}

Install with npm i -g pi-acp-jetbrain. Then pick it as your agent in the IDE.

I dogfood it daily through the IDE bridge, including the MCP tool catalog. Feedback welcome.PVEOF
