The integration gives developers access to frontier models from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and Cursor, along with secure codebase indexing and semantic search. It is free for paid Cursor plan subscribers and requires JetBrains IDE version 2025.3.2 or later with the AI Assistant plugin. The move is part of JetBrains' open ecosystem strategy to avoid vendor lock-in by supporting multiple AI agents. ## Content # Cursor AI Coding Assistant Now Available in JetBrains IDEs Cursor, a leading AI coding assistant, is now fully integrated into JetBrains Integrated Development Environments (IDEs) such as IntelliJ IDEA, PyCharm, and WebStorm. This integration is made possible through the Agent Client Protocol (ACP), offering developers a seamless experience when accessing high-performance models from top AI providers like OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and Cursor. ## Key Features - **Integration via ACP**: The Agent Client Protocol allows Cursor to function as an AI agent within JetBrains IDEs, expanding its reach beyond its native environment. - **Access to Frontier Models**: Developers can leverage state-of-the-art models to enhance their coding process. - **Secure Codebase Indexing and Semantic Search**: Users benefit from sophisticated search capabilities and secure access to their codebases. - **Free for Paid Cursor Plans**: The AI assistant is available for free to users subscribed to paid Cursor plans. - **Version Compatibility**: This feature is available for JetBrains IDEs from version 2025.3.2 onward with the AI Assistant plugin installed. ## An Open Ecosystem Strategy This integration is part of JetBrains' strategy to maintain an open ecosystem, allowing developers to select from multiple AI agents without suffering from vendor lock-in. Cursor can be easily installed directly from the JetBrains AI chat, making it a convenient option for those looking to enhance their productivity with AI-powered tools. Overall, the collaboration between Cursor and JetBrains IDEs represents a significant step forward in providing developers with flexible, powerful AI tools directly within their preferred development environments. ## Community discussion Top comments from developers on daily.dev. **@idoshamun** · 4 upvotes > I never thought I'd be alive to see it.
