Forge MCP with IntelliJ

G’day, trying to set up the forge MCP server with IntelliJ and I just get a 400 error reported back for the server.

It seems to use the same setup as cursor:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "forge-knowledge": {
      "url": "https://mcp.atlassian.com/v1/forge/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Anyone had any luck with it?

I’m having the same issue with IntelliJ IDEA 2025.3.3, and could not find a way to get it working.

Hi @NicoFrossard and @PeterMcNeil2 ,

Does it work when using the following configuration?

  "mcpServers": {
    "forge-knowledge": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "mcp-remote@latest",
        "https://mcp.atlassian.com/v1/forge/mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

I found it in this other post: [Announcement] Forge MCP Server is available in Preview - #10 by markrekveld. With the note from the comments below that spaces are not supported.

Hope this helps,
Caterina

Thanks @CaterinaCurti yes it does, I’d found the same comment and tried it out. Sorry I forgot to come back here and share!

this is what I have:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ForgeMCP": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "mcp-remote@latest",
        "https://mcp.atlassian.com/v1/forge/mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Cheers,

Peter.
