[DOCS] Incorrect NPM Package Name in JetBrains Plugin Settings Example

Resolved 💬 2 comments Opened Jan 24, 2026 by coygeek Closed Feb 28, 2026

Documentation Type

typo or formatting issue

Location

https://code.claude.com/docs/en/jetbrains

Section/Topic

"Plugin settings" section, specifically the "General Settings" subsection describing the "Claude command" field.

Current Documentation

Claude command: Specify a custom command to run Claude (for example, claude, /usr/local/bin/claude, or npx @anthropic/claude)

What's Wrong

The example uses the incorrect NPM package name npx @anthropic/claude. The correct package name is @anthropic-ai/claude-code.

This is particularly confusing because the same document correctly references the package later in the troubleshooting section (line 138):

Verify Claude Code is installed: npm list -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code

Users who copy the incorrect package name from the General Settings section will get an npm error.

Suggested Improvement

Update the example to use the correct package name:

Claude command: Specify a custom command to run Claude (for example, claude, /usr/local/bin/claude, or npx @anthropic-ai/claude-code)

Impact

Medium - Makes feature difficult to understand

Additional Context

  • Mirror location: code.claude.com/docs/en/jetbrains.md (line 75)
  • The troubleshooting section at line 138 already uses the correct package name
  • This inconsistency within the same document makes the error more likely to confuse users
