### Environment

- SonarQube Server
- Deployment type (HTTP, Docker):
- Client / AI tool using MCP (if applicable): IntelliJ

### Description

y u no describe IntelliJ here? → [IDE/CLI quickstart guides | SonarQube MCP Server | Sonar Documentation](https://docs.sonarsource.com/sonarqube-mcp-server/setup/quickstart-guides)

I mean: If i want to configure my current installation of IntelliJ to be able to use a sq mcp server … what would be an expected way of doing so?

ty for considering updating your docs 👍

cheers,  
Daniel
