JetBrains speeds up Junie agent by 30%, adds MCP support
Briefly

Junie, the AI coding agent from JetBrains, is now 30 percent faster and supports the Model Context Protocol, allowing connections to databases, file systems, and APIs. An Early Access Program for GitHub integration is also launching. A study revealed that 83 percent of managers believe Junie enhances productivity, and 76 percent are satisfied with its performance. The agent now supports remote development on macOS and Linux, enabling task delegation among teams. JetBrains prioritizes intelligence and reliability for improved developer experiences, ultimately reducing errors and context switching.
JetBrains announced that Junie, the AI coding agent, now operates 30 percent faster, supports the Model Context Protocol, and enables remote development for macOS and Linux.
Research indicated that 83 percent of managers believe Junie increases team productivity, with 76 percent expressing satisfaction with the AI coding agent.
MCP enhances Junie's capabilities by allowing connections to external data sources such as databases and APIs, thereby enabling more complex coding tasks.
JetBrains emphasizes that while speed is important, the intelligence and reliability of AI agents are crucial for enhancing overall developer experience and minimizing errors.
