JetBrains Rider

Connect JetBrains Rider to NeoStack AI.

Use Rider with NeoStack AI when your Rider AI setup supports MCP servers. The connection goes through the NeoStack bridge, a small stdio MCP binary. Requires NeoStack AI plugin 3.1.8 or newer.

Step 1: download the bridge

Platform	Download
Windows x64	`neostack-bridge-win64.exe`
macOS Apple Silicon	`neostack-bridge-macos-arm64`
macOS Intel	`neostack-bridge-macos-x64`
Linux x64	`neostack-bridge-linux-x64`

On macOS/Linux, run chmod +x on it once.

Step 2: configure

Start Unreal Editor with NeoStack AI enabled.
Add a stdio MCP server named unreal in Rider’s AI/MCP settings, with the command set to the bridge binary path:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "unreal": {
      "command": "/path/to/neostack-bridge-macos-arm64"
    }
  }
}

There are no ports, tokens, or URLs to configure. The bridge finds the running editor and follows restarts.

Notes

Rider support depends on the AI/MCP tooling available in your Rider version and plugins.
If several editors are open, ask the agent to “list unreal projects” and “select” one, or set the NEOSTACK_PROJECT_DIR env var in the server config.
