What's Wrong?

Environment

  • Plugin: Claude Code [Beta] 0.1.14-beta (com.anthropic.code.plugin)
  • IDE build: 253.31033.145 (IntelliJ IDEA 2025.3 line)
  • IDE install path reports IntelliJ IDEA 2025.1.1.1 while the build is 253.x, which may be relevant
  • OS: Windows
  • Installed from: JetBrains Marketplace

Symptom
The plugin throws 'PluginException' on every project open. 'MCPService.start' fails with 'NoClassDefFoundError: io/ktor/server/cio/CIO'.
The plugin class loader cannot resolve 'io.ktor.server.cio.CIO'.
I've checked JetBrains Marketplace to see if there is a latest version available, but it seems there is only the 0.1.14-beta version that is available. So, no latest update that I can install from withing the IDE.

What Should Happen?

The plugin should load cleanly on IDEA build 253.x, or Anthropic publishes a 0.1.15+ build to the Marketplace that includes the ktor-server-cio runtime dependency.

(Full 'PluginClassLoader' parent chain trimmed for brevity; it lists the standard 2025.3 platform Terminal and IDEA CORE content module descriptors. Happy to provide the full untrimmed trace on request.)
