IDE Extension

Compatible IDEs​

The Jolt IDE extension is currently compatible with VSCode-based editors (including Cursor) and JetBrains IDEs using the IntelliJ platform. If you'd like to see Jolt in another IDE, let us know at hello@usejolt.ai.

VSCode​

Installation​

The Jolt extension is available on the VSCode Marketplace here. You can also search for the extension directly within VSCode in the Extensions pane.

Install the extension by clicking the install button.

Updating​

For the best experience, we strongly recommend you always keep the Jolt IDE extension up-to-date. When a newer version of Jolt is available, open the Extensions pane. Filter down by searching "Jolt" and select the extension. Click the Update button.

You can also select the Jolt extension in the Extensions pane to specify the latest version. Here, you can click the button that says Update to vX.Y.Z.

Be sure to restart your extensions for the update to take effect.

Cursor​

While Jolt is fully supported in Cursor, the Cursor extension marketplace can be unreliable. The following steps are the most reliable way to install the Jolt IDE extension and keep it up to date.

Installation​

Download the latest version of the Jolt extension here.

We now host the latest version of the Jolt extension.

If you have not already done so, open the Extensions pane in Cursor. Click and drag the .vsix file you just downloaded into the Extensions pane.

Updates​

Beware: Cursor's Extension pane may not have the latest version of the Jolt IDE extension.


The most reliable way to update the Jolt extension for Cursor is to download the .vsix file and drag it into Cursor's Extensions pane. Follow the Cursor installation section above.

JetBrains IDEs​

Jolt is compatible with all JetBrains IDEs that use the IntelliJ platform. Our extension works with

  • IntelliJ IDEA
  • Android Studio
  • WebStorm
  • PyCharm
  • PhpStorm
  • Rider
  • CLion
  • GoLand
  • RubyMine
  • RustRover
  • AppCode

Installation​

Get the latest version of the Jolt AI on the JetBrains Marketplace here. You can also search for the plugin directly within in the Plugins pane for Jolt AI. Or manually download the latest version of the Jolt plugin here. Install it via the Plugin settings pane in your JetBrains IDE.

To access the Plugin settings pane, go to Settings/Preferences (File → Settings on Windows/Linux or IntelliJ IDEA → Preferences on macOS) in the left sidebar. Once installed, you will be prompted to restart your JetBrains IDE to start using Jolt.

Jolt will require Node 20 or higher to run. You can download NodeJS here. Once installed, you will need to restart your JetBrains IDE. If you install NodeJS into a custom directory you can set the full path as an env var JOLT_NODE_PATH in the Path Variables settings pane in Appearance and Behavior.

Keyboard Shortcut​

In both VSCode and Cursor, you can use CMD/CTRL + Shift + J to open and focus the Jolt extension. The extension will restore whatever page you were on before.
