Copilot for JetBrains adds a Fix action and an admin default model, and drops IDE 2025.1
New controls for enterprise admins and MCP servers arrive as support for the 2025.1 IDEs ends.
Diagnostic intention menus in GitHub Copilot for JetBrains now include a Fix action, which opens inline chat and asks Copilot to repair the issue. Enterprise administrators can use managed settings to choose any available Copilot agent model as the default for new conversations.
A new MCP setting lets you disable automatic server startup for Copilot and Claude, giving you more control over when configured tools become active.
The same update ends Copilot support for JetBrains IDE 2025.1. The changelog does not say whether the plugin stops working on 2025.1 or only stops receiving updates there, so teams still on that version should plan an IDE upgrade.
