⚠️ This MCP Server is a work in progress ⚠️

An MCP Server to communicate with Jira.

This may work with Jira Data Center rest endpoints (/rest/api/2), but as of right now only cloud endpoints have been tested (/rest/api/3).

1. Clone this repo
2. cd into the repo
3. Run npm install
4. Run npm run build

In your MCP client, you'll need to add the following environment variables:

• JIRA_PROJECT_URL - Including /rest/api/3 at the end. This should look like https://your-project.atlassian.net/rest/api/3.
• JIRA_USER_EMAIL - Your user email address. This is needed for Authorization with the API.
• JIRA_API_KEY - Your Jira API key. You can find info on creating and managing Jira API keys here
• JIRA_PROJECT_KEY - The default key you'd like to use for creating new issues

• Get Issue By Key
• Search Issues
• Create Issue
• Assign Issue
• Unassign Issue
• Edit Issue
• Transition Issue
• Archive Issues

Setup, but none implemented.

Add the server to the configuration file of your MCP Client.
