Connect Pomeroy to JetBrains AI Assistant

Yes, JetBrains AI Assistant works with Pomeroy. Pomeroy writes the configuration for JetBrains AI Assistant and you paste it in. Then JetBrains AI Assistant can reach Mail, Calendar, Reminders, Notes, Contacts, Messages, Maps, Shortcuts and Weather on your Mac, each app behind its own switch in Pomeroy, and nothing leaves your Mac except what you ask for.

How to connect Pomeroy to JetBrains AI Assistant

Pomeroy lists the assistants it finds on this Mac, so install JetBrains AI Assistant first if it is not there yet. Coming back to Pomeroy’s window re-checks.

  1. 1

    Download Pomeroy and switch on your apps.

    Open the download, drag Pomeroy into Applications, and open it. Pomeroy opens a setup window listing every app it can connect. Switch on the ones you want, and macOS asks you to approve each.

  2. 2

    Press Set up beside JetBrains AI Assistant.

    Pomeroy puts the configuration on your clipboard as JSON. In your IDE, open Settings › Tools › AI Assistant › Model Context Protocol (MCP), press + and choose As JSON, paste, and set Level to Global so every JetBrains IDE gets it.

  3. 3

    Paste it into JetBrains AI Assistant.

    Paste the configuration into Settings › Tools › AI Assistant › Model Context Protocol (MCP) › + › As JSON. The MCP list in that settings pane shows Pomeroy with a green status once you press Apply.

  4. 4

    Ask JetBrains AI Assistant something.

    Try “What’s on my calendar today?” and a real answer comes back.

The configuration, in full

You do not need it — Set up writes it for you. The documentation has the exact text, where it goes, how to check it worked.

What JetBrains AI Assistant can do with each app

One page per app: what JetBrains AI Assistant can and cannot do there, the macOS prompt to expect, and things to ask.

JetBrains AI Assistant does not show Pomeroy's tools.

Then press Set up again in Pomeroy, under Settings › Assistants: every way Pomeroy sets an assistant up is safe to run twice. Then check that the app you asked about is switched on in Pomeroy: an app that is off serves no tools. Pomeroy's menu bar shows whether JetBrains AI Assistant is connected right now.

Pomeroy did not list JetBrains AI Assistant.

Pomeroy looks for JetBrains AI Assistant the way macOS does: by its app, by its command in the usual install locations, and by the folder it keeps its settings in. If JetBrains AI Assistant is installed somewhere unusual, paste the configuration above by hand; the connection works whether or not Pomeroy found JetBrains AI Assistant first.

Nothing comes back when I ask.

Check that the app you asked about is switched on in Pomeroy, and that the week's 50 free actions are not used up. Pomeroy says so in the answer if they are, and the count refills a week after it started.
