- `${pluginRoot}` to the installed plugin package root.
- `${appDataDir}` to the host-owned application data directory.
There is currently no `${node}`, `${runtimeNode}`, `${hostNode}` substitution
and no `runtime` field. IdeA does not provide a plugin-scoped Node.js runtime
for MCP servers.
This string substitution is limited to manifest-declared MCP server startup.
Runtime handlers receive the same installed package location separately as
`ctx.pluginRoot`; `ctx.services.tasks.runCommand()` does not perform placeholder
substitution, and workspace APIs remain project-confined.
Prefer a packaged executable script for plugin-owned MCP servers, for example
`command: "scripts/unity-mcp-server.mjs"` with an appropriate shebang and file
mode. If the server must be launched through a host executable such as Node,
use an absolute command with `allowAbsoluteCommand: true` and keep plugin-owned
paths in `args`, for example `${pluginRoot}/scripts/unity-mcp-server.mjs`.
`command` is not shell syntax. IdeA starts it directly and passes `args`
separately. Do not rely on shell startup files, shell aliases, or a user's login
shell `PATH`.
Prefer a packaged executable for plugin-owned MCP servers:
```json
{
"command": "scripts/unity-mcp-server",
"transport": "stdio",
"autoStart": true
}
```
Because the command is package-relative, IdeA resolves it to
`${pluginRoot}/scripts/unity-mcp-server`. If this file is a script, its shebang
and executable bit must be valid in the installed package. A JavaScript shebang
such as `#!/usr/bin/env node` still depends on a `node` binary visible to the
IdeA app process, not necessarily the user's interactive shell.
For JavaScript MCP servers that must not depend on the user's shell `PATH`, use
one of these approaches:
- Ship an executable server that includes its runtime, or install a managed
runtime under plugin/app-owned storage and point `command` at that executable
with `${pluginRoot}` or `${appDataDir}`.
- Declare an explicit host dependency with an absolute command such as
`/usr/bin/node`, set `allowAbsoluteCommand: true`, and keep plugin-owned
script paths in `args`.
Avoid `command: "node"` for a packaged MCP server. With
`allowAbsoluteCommand: false`, it is treated as package-relative and resolves to
`${pluginRoot}/node`. With `allowAbsoluteCommand: true`, it is passed as a host
command name and depends on the environment inherited by IdeA, which may differ
from an interactive shell.
The same rule applies to shell wrappers. `command: "bash"` resolves to
`${pluginRoot}/bash` unless absolute-command handling is explicitly enabled. Use
a package-relative wrapper executable, or use an absolute shell such as
`/bin/bash` with `allowAbsoluteCommand: true` when that host dependency is
intentional.

## Packaged Executables And Runtimes
Manifest-declared MCP servers are launched from `contributes.mcpServers` by
starting the declared `command` directly. IdeA does not inject a shell and does
not provide a plugin-scoped Node.js runtime.
For a packaged MCP server, prefer a package-relative executable such as
`scripts/my-plugin-mcp-server`. The installed file must keep the executable bit
and, when it is a script, a valid shebang. A JavaScript server with
`#!/usr/bin/env node` still requires `node` in the environment inherited by the
IdeA app process; this is not guaranteed to match the user's interactive shell,
especially when Node is provided by shell startup tooling.
For reproducible JavaScript MCP servers, either ship/install a runtime under the
plugin package or app-owned storage and point the manifest at that executable,
or declare an explicit absolute host dependency with `allowAbsoluteCommand:
true`. Avoid relying on a bare `command: "node"` in distributed or multi-harness
plugins.

This task example uses `node` as a host executable visible to the task
environment. That is not the contract for `contributes.mcpServers`: MCP server
`command` values are resolved by the plugin manifest rules documented in
[Manifest](manifest.md), where a bare `command: "node"` is package-relative
unless external host-command handling is explicitly enabled.
