Enables AI chat capabilities in Android Studio for natural language interaction with code and projects.

Android Studio AI Chat Integration

This repository provides instructions for setting up AI chat capabilities with Android Studio, allowing developers to interact with their code and projects using natural language.

Overview

By connecting Android Studio to an AI chat interface through the MCP Server plugin, developers can:

  • Ask questions about their Android code
  • Request code modifications and refactoring
  • Get explanations of Android-specific concepts
  • Generate new code components
  • Debug issues in Android applications

Prerequisites

  • Android Studio installed on your computer
  • Cursor IDE installed (for client communication)

Installation

Step 1: Install the MCP Server Plugin for JetBrains

  1. Open Android Studio
  2. Go to Settings/Preferences → Plugins → Marketplace
  3. Search for "MCP Server"
  4. Click Install on the plugin titled "MCP Server" (plugin ID: 26071)
  5. Restart Android Studio when prompted

Step 2: Configure the Client in Cursor

  1. Open Cursor and access settings:
  2. For Mac: Press Cmd+, or go to Cursor → Preferences
  3. For Windows/Linux: Press Ctrl+, or go to File → Preferences
  4. Navigate to the AI settings section and enable "JetBrains Integration"
  5. Configure your settings:

json { "mcpServers": { "jetbrains": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@jetbrains/mcp-proxy"] } } }

  1. If you're running multiple IDEs and want to connect to a specific one, add:

json "env": { "IDE_PORT": "<port of Android Studio's built-in webserver>" }

  1. Save your settings and restart Cursor

Usage

  1. Open Android Studio and load your project
  2. Open Cursor and connect to the same project
  3. In Cursor, use the built-in chat to interact with your Android Studio project

Troubleshooting

  • Connection Issues: Ensure Android Studio is running before attempting to connect from Cursor
  • Plugin Not Found: Verify you're using a compatible version of Android Studio
  • Multiple IDEs: If you have multiple JetBrains IDEs running, specify the IDE_PORT in your configuration
  • Permission Issues: Some operations may require explicit permissions in Android Studio

Advanced Configuration

To enable logging for debugging purposes:

"env": {
  "LOG_ENABLED": "true"
}

To connect to IDE on a different address/host:

"env": {
  "HOST": "<host/address of IDE's built-in webserver>"
}
