JetBrains Air brings Claude Code, Codex and Cursor agents into its IDE, no AI subscription needed
heyronir · x · 2026-11-12
JetBrains launched Air, which plugs third-party AI coding agents like Claude Code, Codex and Cursor directly into JetBrains IDEs — no JetBrains AI subscription required; you sign in with your existing provider plans.
Key points:
- Bring your own agents: add agents via the open ACP protocol or connect tools already on your machine; switch agents without changing projects.
- Real context: supported agents can use native IDE capabilities — debugging, profiling, database management, semantic code search.
- Stay in control: monitor sessions across projects, open diffs, leave line comments, run tests; use separate Git worktrees for parallel work (JetBrains notes worktrees isolate working directories, not security sandboxes).
- Start locally, finish in the cloud: hand longer tasks off to cloud agents.
Junie Lite is free for a limited time with a JetBrains account.
