Junie, inside Glueprint.

AI Coding Agent by JetBrains. Glueprint runs Junie over the Agent Client Protocol it already speaks — adding live sessions on every device, approvals from your phone, parallel worktrees, schedules, and memory.

What is Junie?

Junie is a coding agent from JetBrains that works with any model the user chooses, supporting 10+ models via bring-your-own-key, including Claude, Gemini, GPT, and Grok, plus local models through Ollama. It runs from the terminal, a JetBrains IDE plugin, and CI via GitHub Actions and GitLab pipelines. Features include a Plan Mode that drafts requirements and delivery stages before editing, live mid-task prompting, human-in-the-loop approvals, and async remote execution with web monitoring.

  • Built by JetBrains, brings your own model key
  • 10+ models plus local models via Ollama
  • Plan Mode drafts stages before editing code
  • Live prompting and human-in-the-loop approvals
  • Runs in terminal, JetBrains IDE, and CI

Best for JetBrains users who want a model-agnostic agent across IDE, terminal, and CI.

How Glueprint runs Junie

Junie connects over the open Agent Client Protocol — one generic adapter implements the protocol's client side, so Junie gets the same surfaces as every other harness:

01

Glueprint spawns Junie, not a fork

Glueprint finds the Junie binary you installed and spawns it, then speaks the Agent Client Protocol — JSON-RPC 2.0 over stdio — to drive it. Same CLI, same authentication; Glueprint just wraps the session.

02

Output streams as structure

Message chunks, tool calls, and tool-call updates from Junie arrive as protocol notifications and render as the same live, typed timeline every Glueprint session gets — watchable from desktop, browser, or phone.

03

Permission requests become approval cards

When Junie asks to write a file or run a command, the protocol's permission request surfaces as an inline approval card on whatever device you're holding. Approve, deny, or auto-allow per tool.

04

One adapter, the whole fleet

Because Junie speaks ACP, adding it is a catalog entry, not an engineering project — the same adapter runs every other agent in the registry, so you can tile them side by side.

What Junie gains inside Glueprint

Everything below works with the Junie CLI you have today — no migration, no new account for the model, no lock-in. Uninstall Glueprint and your terminal workflow is exactly as it was.

Live sessions on every surface

Watch every Junie prompt, tool call, and diff stream in real time — desktop, web portal, iOS and Android. The session runs on your machine; the view follows you.

Approve from your phone

Permission prompts arrive as approval cards wherever you are. Kick off a refactor at your desk, approve the file writes from the couch.

Parallel sessions across worktrees

Run several Junie sessions side by side, each in its own git worktree, with diffs, history, and a three-pane conflict resolver alongside.

Mix harnesses in one mosaic

Tile Junie next to Claude Code, Codex, and the rest of the ACP fleet in the Command Center. The protocol differs; the surface doesn't.

Junie as a persistent assistant

Promote it to an assistant: persona, constitution, long-term memory, and a daily journal on disk, loaded into every wake.

Routines on a schedule

Wake it on cron: triage the inbox every 30 minutes, sweep PRs at 9am, run the nightly cleanup. Quiet hours and watermarks prevent re-fires.

Analytics per harness

Messages, sessions, and output tokens computed from session logs — compare Junie against Claude Code, Codex, and your other ACP agents.

Encrypted to the relay

Remote viewing rides AES-256-GCM envelope encryption. The relay routes; it cannot read.

Junie + Glueprint, asked plainly

Can I run Junie with Glueprint?

Yes. Junie is registered in the official Agent Client Protocol registry, and Glueprint implements the protocol's client side. It spawns the Junie CLI you already installed and drives it over JSON-RPC 2.0 — adding live sessions, inline approvals, worktrees, and remote control.

Do I need a separate Junie subscription or API key?

No. Glueprint doesn't resell model access. Junie authenticates exactly the way its vendor designed — its own login, subscription, or API key. Glueprint spawns the binary and speaks the protocol; it doesn't sit between you and the model provider.

Can I run Junie from my phone?

Sessions always run on your machines — a laptop, a desktop, or a server with the headless daemon. The iOS and Android app streams Junie sessions live, lets you send follow-ups, and handles permission approvals from anywhere.

Can I run Junie next to Claude Code and Codex?

Yes — that's the point. Each harness is an adapter; sessions from all of them tile into the same Command Center, share the same task boards, and roll up in the same per-harness analytics.

Is my session content private?

Yes. Remote viewing routes AES-256-GCM-encrypted envelopes through the relay, which stores a wrapped key it cannot open — decryption happens on your devices. On the free local tier, session content never leaves your machine at all. See security.
