What's Wrong?

I'm using https://github.com/hechtcarmel/jetbrains-index-mcp-plugin. However, recently Claude started using its own mcp__ide__getDiagnostics tool. This tools doesn't work reliably in IntelliJ — requires the relevant file to be opened in the IDE. This tools doesn't come from any MCP server that I have installed, and it doesn't seem like I can disabled it.

What Should Happen?

  • Claude doesn't use broken internal tools
  • it's possible to disable non-functional internal tools
