Setup instructions for JetBrains IDEs, Cline, Roo Code, Continue.dev, and more.

Quick Install Available

For tools that support file-based configuration, try npx @nexlayer/mcp-install first. It will automatically detect and configure supported tools.

JetBrains IDEs

IntelliJ IDEA, PyCharm, WebStorm, and other JetBrains IDEs have built-in MCP support (version 2025.2+).

Setup via IDE Settings

  1. 1.Open Settings → Tools → MCP Server
  2. 2.Enable the MCP Server toggle
  3. 3.Click “Add Server” and enter the URL:
url
https://mcp.nexlayer.ai/api/mcp

Note: JetBrains IDEs manage MCP configuration through the IDE settings UI, not through a config file. The configuration is stored in the IDE's internal settings database.

Cline (VS Code Extension)

Cline is a popular VS Code extension for AI-assisted coding with MCP support.

Setup via Extension UI

  1. 1.Open Cline sidebar in VS Code
  2. 2.Click the MCP Servers icon in the top navigation
  3. 3.Click Configure MCP Servers at the bottom
  4. 4.Add the Nexlayer configuration:
json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "nexlayer-mcp": {
      "transport": "sse",
      "url": "https://mcp.nexlayer.ai/api/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Roo Code (VS Code Extension)

Roo Code supports both global and project-level MCP configuration.

Global Configuration

  1. 1.Open Roo Code pane in VS Code
  2. 2.Click settings icon → Edit Global MCP
  3. 3.Add the Nexlayer configuration

Project-Level Configuration

Create .roo/mcp.json in your project root:

json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "nexlayer-mcp": {
      "transport": "sse",
      "url": "https://mcp.nexlayer.ai/api/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Continue.dev

Continue.dev supports MCP servers through its configuration file.

Config file location:

~/.continue/config.yaml
yaml
mcpServers:
  nexlayer-mcp:
    transport: sse
    url: https://mcp.nexlayer.ai/api/mcp

Alternatively, create .continue/mcpServers/nexlayer.yaml for per-server configuration.

OpenAI Codex

OpenAI Codex uses TOML configuration for MCP servers.

Config file location:

~/.codex/config.toml
toml
[mcp_servers.nexlayer-mcp]
url = "https://mcp.nexlayer.ai/api/mcp"

You can also use the CLI: codex mcp add nexlayer-mcp --url https://mcp.nexlayer.ai/api/mcp

Warp Terminal

Warp manages MCP configuration through its UI.

  1. 1.Open Warp
  2. 2.Go to Warp Drive → MCP Servers → + Add
  3. 3.Paste the JSON configuration

Generic MCP Configuration

For any tool that supports MCP, use this configuration:

json
{
  "nexlayer-mcp": {
    "transport": "sse",
    "url": "https://mcp.nexlayer.ai/api/mcp"
  }
}

After configuration:

  • • Restart your editor/tool to load the MCP server
  • • You'll be prompted to authenticate on first use
  • • The MCP server will connect to your Nexlayer account
