What's Wrong?
When you open claude code inside Intellij IDEA and use /ide, it says
Select IDE
Connect to an IDE for integrated development features.
No available IDEs detected. Please install the plugin and restart your IDE:
https://docs.claude.com/s/claude-code-jetbrains
>Enter to confirm · Esc to cancel
However, when you use claude inside PowerShell (same directory, powershell opened via Terminal app) it says:
Select IDE
Connect to an IDE for integrated development features.
No available IDEs detected. Make sure your IDE has the Claude Code extension or plugin installed and is running.
Found 1 other running IDE(s). However, their workspace/project directories do not match the current cwd.
• IntelliJ IDEA: /mnt/h/Projects/Minecraft/Mods/SmoothScroll
Press Ctrl-C again to exit
Also, any ide integration features like MCP not working too for claude code.
What Should Happen?
Claude should detect Intellij IDEA as ide
