Connect JetBrains AI to Relay

1. Get your connection link

1. Sign in to Relay with Google. It's free during the beta.
2. Open Integrations, click Set up on JetBrains AI, then Generate connection URL. Copy it straight away: it's shown only once.
3. Below, YOUR-KEY stands for your link. The dashboard shows the same steps with your link already filled in.

2. Add Relay to JetBrains AI

1. In IntelliJ IDEA, PyCharm or another JetBrains IDE, open Settings → Tools → AI Assistant → Model Context Protocol (MCP) and add a server as JSON:

   {
     "mcpServers": {
       "relay": {
         "url": "https://mcp.relaymemory.app/mcp/YOUR-KEY"
       }
     }
   }

   Copy
2. Apply, then open AI Assistant chat and check that the Relay tools are listed.

3. Test it

Send this in JetBrains AI. It should answer from your Relay memory:

What's waiting for me in Relay?

Make it save on its own

1. In a JetBrains AI session, send this once:

   In every conversation, store our work in Relay: save new plans, add progress updates as we go, and keep it up to date.

   Copy
2. JetBrains AI asks permission to use Relay. Choose Allow always, so it saves as you work. Deleting always asks you first.
3. To keep it on in new sessions, add the same sentence to your project's instructions file (for example AGENTS.md).

Using Relay in JetBrains AI every day

• Once added, Relay loads in every session. There's nothing to switch on.
• When it asks to run a Relay tool, approve it. Most tools let you always allow it, so it stops asking.
• Make it automatic: add this line to your project's instructions file (for example AGENTS.md), and it checks Relay on its own.

  At the start of a task, check Relay for the latest plan for this project. When you finish, add a progress update to Relay.

  Copy
