20 Best Jira MCP Servers, Compared (October 2026)

Updated 20 of 552 Jira servers in the Glama registryRebuilt weekly

The short answer

For most Jira Cloud readers, MCP Atlassian (sooperset/mcp-atlassian) is the one to install first: it is a Community favourite with 5,946 GitHub stars, 129 stars gained per 30 days, a commit 8 days ago, and 145 commits on its default branch in the last 12 weeks. Its README documents setup with JIRA_URL, JIRA_USERNAME, and JIRA_API_TOKEN for Claude Desktop and Cursor. If you are on self-hosted Jira and authenticate with a Personal Access Token, MCP Jira Server (edrich13/mcp-jira-server) is the better fit, with 12 tools for issue CRUD, JQL search, comments, projects, assignments, and current user lookup, though it had a last commit 243 days ago and 0 commits on its default branch in the last 12 weeks. For Jira Server or Data Center deployments that also need Confluence and Xray, mcp-atlassian (SharkyND/mcp-atlassian) is the alternative, with 72 issue, sprint, attachment, and Confluence search tools.

Whichever you choose, give it the narrowest access that still works (a read-only credential, a replica, a scratch account), and widen it only once you have watched what your agent actually asks for.

Glama operates the MCP registry these numbers are measured from, and sells MCP hosting and a gateway. No position on this page is paid for. How the registry is built.

Which one, for your situation

Your situationWhat to use
I use Jira Cloud and want the most established option.MCP Atlassian (sooperset/mcp-atlassian) is a Community favourite with 5,946 GitHub stars, 129 stars gained per 30 days, a commit 8 days ago, and 145 commits on its default branch in the last 12 weeks.
I am on self-hosted Jira with a Personal Access Token.MCP Jira Server (edrich13/mcp-jira-server) documents PAT authentication and exposes 12 tools for issue CRUD, JQL search, comments, projects, assignments, and current user lookup, though it had a last commit 243 days ago and 0 commits on its default branch in the last 12 weeks.
I need Jira Server or Data Center with Confluence and Xray.mcp-atlassian (SharkyND/mcp-atlassian) documents Jira Server/Data Center, Confluence, and Xray support, exposes 72 issue, sprint, attachment, and Confluence search tools, and had a last commit 13 days ago with 24 commits on its default branch in the last 12 weeks.
I want scoped API tokens and read-only safety by default.mcp-jira-scoped (deepwired/mcp-jira) enforces granted scopes server-side, restricts projects with JIRA_PROJECTS, defaults to read-only, and had a last commit 7 days ago with 19 commits on its default branch in the last 12 weeks.
I need to manage Tempo worklogs in Jira.Tempo MCP Server (ivelin-web/tempo-mcp-server) exposes seven tools for retrieving, creating, bulk creating, editing, deleting worklogs, missing-day reports, and analytics, but its tool descriptions are graded C and it had 0 commits on its default branch in the last 12 weeks.
I want Jira access through an authenticated browser session.OpenTabs (opentabs-dev/opentabs) calls Jira through the user's authenticated browser session via a Chrome extension and installed plugins, with no API keys, and exposes 42 tools.

The ranking, with the evidence

Each position is a weighted mean of adoption (40%), maintenance (24%), momentum (14%), tool description quality (13%) and trust (9%), multiplied by three attenuators: how directly the server is about Jira (named for it, declaring it, tagged with it, or merely mentioning it), whether its repository is still moving, and how much independent evidence of adoption it has. Open the score on any entry to see every number, including the ones marked ≈, which were imputed from the median of the other candidates rather than measured. The maintenance grade on each entry is mostly issue responsiveness, release recency and open security alerts rather than commits, so a recent commit beside a low grade is two different measurements rather than a contradiction.

  • Abandoned but popular: People use it, but its default branch has stopped moving. Fine to keep running, risky to adopt.
  • Community favourite: Widely adopted and still actively maintained.
  • Dormant: Neither changing nor widely adopted. Here because it still matches the search.
  • Emerging: Small audience, growing quickly, maintained. The bet with the most upside.
  • Steady: Maintained, modest audience, no surprises in either direction.

  • Best for: Teams on Atlassian Cloud needing Jira, Confluence, and Jira Service Management access through a cloud-hosted MCP bridge with OAuth 2.1 or API token auth.

    The README documents a cloud-hosted MCP bridge that connects AI tools to Jira, Confluence, Jira Service Management, Bitbucket, Compass, and Loom. One requirement worth knowing is that it assumes Atlassian Cloud hosting and authenticates via OAuth 2.1 or an API token.

  • Best for: Teams already running Bamboo CI/CD who troubleshoot builds from an editor: it reads build and deployment logs with actual content and can trigger builds.

    The server exposes 27 tools spanning Bamboo server info and health checks, projects, plans and branches, build triggering and results, build and deployment queues, and deployment projects and results, including tools that fetch log content rather than log URLs. Before it can reach anything it needs BAMBOO_URL and a Bamboo personal access token supplied as environment variables, with an optional proxy setting for corporate networks.

  • Best for: Teams using Atlassian scoped API tokens for Jira: the server enforces granted scopes server-side, restricts projects with JIRA_PROJECTS, and defaults to read-only.

    The README documents a Jira MCP server that uses Atlassian scoped API tokens against the api.atlassian.com gateway, registers toolsets selected through JIRA_TOOLSETS, enforces JIRA_SCOPES before API calls, and can restrict access with a JIRA_PROJECTS allowlist. The main constraint is that it requires a scoped Jira API token and defaults to read-only unless write scopes are granted; Atlassian does not allow token scopes to be read back or edited after creation.

  • Best for: Jira Cloud teams needing multi-instance routing and comment templates: it documents project configuration, ADF formatting, and task caching.

    The jira-mcp package is part of a two-server Atlassian Cloud setup, and its README documents Jira sync, search, comment, transition, log time, reassign, create, and delete operations alongside a companion Confluence server for pages, blog posts, comments, labels, attachments, restrictions, and whiteboards. Before choosing it, note that it requires npm global installation plus a shared Atlassian Cloud credential and configuration under ~/.softspark/jira-mcp/, and it is registered as its own MCP server separate from the Confluence server.

  • Best for: Agile teams on Jira Cloud who need an AI client to manage sprints and issues: it exposes 24 tools including create_sprint, move_issue_to_sprint, transition_issue and create_comment.

    It is an MCP server that exposes 24 tools across Jira issues, comments, transitions, assignments, users and the agile sprint lifecycle (boards, sprints, sprint issues), plus a Confluence page lookup by code. Setup assumes Jira Cloud credentials passed as JIRA_HOST, JIRA_EMAIL and JIRA_API_TOKEN, and the Confluence side only retrieves a page by its code rather than searching or editing pages.

  • Best for: Querying Jira and Confluence offline: it mirrors selected projects and spaces into one local SQLite file that its MCP read tools answer from.

    It mirrors selected Jira Cloud projects and Confluence spaces into a single local SQLite file and answers MCP reads from that file with read-only SQL, full-text search, issue detail, and sprint and retro reads. Before installing, note that it assumes an Atlassian API token, mirrors only the projects and spaces named at setup, and ships no Confluence Server client, so the wiki stays off on Jira Server and Data Center.

    OpenTabs

    Community favouriteNo change
    opentabs-dev/opentabs ↗

    Best for: Teams already logged into Jira in Chrome: it calls Jira through the browser session via a Chrome extension and installed plugins, with no API keys.

    OpenTabs runs a local MCP server beside a Chrome extension and exposes 42 tools, mostly browser controls for tabs, screenshots, clicking, typing, storage, and console and network capture, while Jira access comes from separately installed plugins that talk to a web app's internal APIs through the user's authenticated session instead of screenshots or DOM scraping. Choosing it means Chrome with an unpacked extension loaded manually from the local install, and the tools arrive disabled, so each one must be enabled and given a permission level before it will run.

  • Best for: For teams that want to query cloud and AI costs in plain English and file Jira tickets for waste, this local-first server fits.

    It exposes 10 MCP tools for connecting AWS, Azure, and GCP, summarizing spend, estimating change costs, checking AI budgets and action policies, and reporting setup status, while the README documents asking cost questions in plain English and opening Jira tickets for waste. Before choosing it, note that it is local-first: it reads credentials already on the machine, and Azure requires guided service-principal setup because nable cannot safely auto-detect local Azure credentials.
