Spring Explyt — a free, source-available plugin for IntelliJ IDEA Community Edition that brings runtime-accurate Spring Framework tooling (beans, endpoints, debugger, HTTP client, MCP tools).

Ask Claude to help debug why a Spring bean isn't being autowired correctly in your application.
Generate HTTP requests to test your Spring REST endpoints directly from the IDE.
Find all Spring bean dependencies and their injection points across your codebase quickly.

Why it matters

Reduces context-switching and debugging cycles by providing IntelliJ integration that maps actual Spring bean lifecycles, endpoint routes, and runtime behavior without leaving the IDE. Cuts time spent cross-referencing configuration files and logs.

Best for

Spring Framework development teams using IntelliJ Community Edition who need visibility into bean wiring, endpoint mapping, and request-response flows during active development.
