There's a Claude Code extension for IntelliJ, I believe it uses IntelliJ's MCP, I wonder if it's also capable of understanding Cursive's code analysis. Like, if I ask Claude to add Clojure code and Cursive detects it's wrong, will IntelliJ report it back to Claude? I'm pretty new to these tools, so I'm trying to understand their capabilities.

No, it won't right now. I'm adding features for this, and I'm also working on a Claude Code like thing for IntelliJ that will do this better, but I've had to work on a couple of other things first.

@onetom ClaudeCode plugin already uses IntelliJ's mcp, so I think they may conflict if used together. Also since the plugin is official probably will have more features that the IDE will be able to take advantage of.

@ulises.ssb506 by "IntelliJ's mcp" u mean this plugin? https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/26071-mcp-server

Not sure what exactly Claude Code is using for intelliJ under the hood tbh

It installs its own thing, not sure it's using MCP

what would be the benefit of an mcp support built-in to cursive as opposed to an external one, like https://github.com/bhauman/clojure-mcp , which is editor agnostic? 1. just less moving pieces? 2. more turn-key solution? 3. no need to manage extra processes?
