Week of October 11, 2026
- New: Paid plans and AI seats
You can now upgrade to a paid plan on the AI settings page in JetBrains Central Console or switch back to the Basic plan.
On a paid plan, users need AI seats to use AI-powered features: one seat per user. You can buy AI seats and monitor their usage.
AI policies, AI provider management, agent and MCP server management, and the Analytics API are no longer in the Early Access Program (EAP) and are now available in the Business and Enterprise plans only. If you previously opted in to the EAP, you have free access to these features for a limited time.
See Plans and pricing, Manage plans, and AI seats.
- New: Cloud providers (Bring Your Own Cloud)
JetBrains Central Console now lets you configure a Bring Your Own Cloud (BYOC) connection to your organization's own cloud infrastructure for running remote agent tasks. You can connect an Amazon Web Services account on the new Cloud providers page under Integrations. Support for other cloud providers will be coming soon.
See Cloud providers.
- New: Model management for the JetBrains AI provider
You can now restrict which models are available through the JetBrains AI provider: disable Allow all models, then remove or add models. This feature is currently in preview.
- New: Combined AI credit usage and limits across users
The AI access page in JetBrains Central Console now sums up the Credits used and Credit limit columns for all listed users or only for the ones you select.
- Changed: Principals and Groups views in AI credit consumption
The AI credit consumption report in JetBrains Central Console is now split into Principals and Groups tabs, letting you break credit usage down per individual consumer or per group and open a details pane for a specific consumer or group.
- New: AI credit consumption by group in the Analytics API
The Analytics API v2 has a new
POST /api/v2/groups/spendendpoint that returns AI credit consumption broken down by group.- Changed: MCP servers apply to JetBrains Central CLI
MCP servers you configure in JetBrains Central Console are now added to Claude Agent, Codex, Gemini CLI, and Junie CLI when users run them through JetBrains Central CLI. Users can allow or deny each server on their machine.
Week of October 4, 2026
- New: Credit limits in AI policies
AI policies in JetBrains Central Console now include the Credit limit setting, which defines how many AI credits each user and service account assigned to the policy can spend per month. You can give a whole team a limit that differs from the default without setting the same limit for each member.
On paid plans, the organization-wide default limit is now set in the default policy rather than on the AI settings page.
See Credit limit sources and Configuring policies.
- New: Third-party MCP connectors policy setting
AI policies in JetBrains Central Console now include the Third-party MCP connectors setting, which controls whether users can add MCP connectors in the web version of JetBrains Air and use their tools in cloud tasks and automations.
See JetBrains Air.
- New: AI credit conversion for organizations using License Vault
AI credits from licenses managed in License Vault are now added to your organization's shared AI credit pool using the same conversion rates as other licenses. To use AI features in an IDE, users may need to activate the IDE through License Vault and AI Assistant through JetBrains Central.
See License Vault.
