Register DevExpress MCP Server in AI Assistant

• Jan 14, 2026

The DevExpress Documentation MCP Server connects JetBrains Rider AI Assistant to our latest help topics and allows Copilot to access API references, best practices, troubleshooting, and code snippets.

To add our MCP Server to the IDE:

1. Open JetBrains Rider settings.
2. Navigate to Tools → AI Assistant → Model Context Protocol (MCP).
3. Click the Add button.

4. In the New MCP Server dialog, select HTTP and provide the following JSON configuration:

   {
       "mcpServers": {
           "dxdocs": {
               "url": "https://api.devexpress.com/mcp/docs"
           }
       }
   }   
   

5. Under Server level, specify whether the DevExpress MCP Server must be available globally or only in the current project.

6. Click OK.
7. Click Apply. The IDE establishes a connection to the server. You can monitor the status of the connection in the Status column.
