20 Best Jira MCP Servers, Compared (September 2026)

Updated 20 of 539 Jira servers in the Glama registryRebuilt weekly

The short answer

Use MCP Atlassian (sooperset/mcp-atlassian). It is a Community favourite on Atlassian Cloud, it had a commit 0 days ago, and it has 5,896 GitHub stars and 158 commits in the last 12 weeks. It covers both Jira and Confluence, with documented tools for searching, creating, updating, and transitioning issues. If your deployment is self-hosted Atlassian Data Center, the better answer is Atlassian Data Center MCP (b1ff/atlassian-dc-mcp), which is designed for Jira, Confluence, and Bitbucket on Data Center and had a commit 12 days ago.

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.

Quick picks

  • 1MCP Atlassian : Atlassian Cloud teams needing one MCP server for both Jira and Confluence: it documents tools for searching, creating, updating, and transitioning issues.
  • 2Atlassian Rovo MCP Server : Teams standardized on Atlassian Cloud: this official Atlassian server provides secure, real-time access to Jira, Confluence, Bitbucket and Compass.
  • 3Atlassian Bitbucket MCP Server : AI-assisted code review and repository management on Bitbucket Cloud: it exposes six tools covering get, post, put, patch, delete, and clone operations.
  • 4Atlassian Data Center MCP : Self-hosted Atlassian Data Center teams needing Jira, Confluence, and Bitbucket MCP access: its setup CLI validates credentials before storing them.
  • 5Atlassian Confluence MCP Server : Connecting an AI assistant to an existing Atlassian Confluence instance: it exposes five generic tools covering read and write access to any Confluence API endpoint.

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.

    MCP Atlassian

    Community favouriteNo change
    sooperset/mcp-atlassian

    Best for: Atlassian Cloud teams needing one MCP server for both Jira and Confluence: it documents tools for searching, creating, updating, and transitioning issues.

    It is an MCP server that, per its README, provides tools for Jira and Confluence operations including search, read, create, update, and transition. Before choosing it, note that its own description limits support to Atlassian Cloud, conflicting with the README's claim of Server/Data Center support.

  • Best for: Self-hosted Atlassian Data Center teams needing Jira, Confluence, and Bitbucket MCP access: its setup CLI validates credentials before storing them.

    The README describes MCP servers for Jira, Confluence, and Bitbucket Data Center, plus a setup command that checks host, API base path, and token with an authenticated request before saving them. At publication, no npm package was published and no PyPI package was attributed to it, so the documented npx commands rely on packages that were not observed.

    The server exposes five tools, conf_get, conf_post, conf_put, conf_patch, and conf_delete, that call Confluence REST API endpoints directly with optional jq filtering and TOON output by default.

    kanban-tui

    Community favourite 1
    Zaloog/kanban-tui

    Best for: Jira users who want a terminal kanban with AI agents: its Jira backend connects via API key and queries tasks via JQL.

    It is an MCP server for a Textual terminal task manager, exposing task, board, and column management commands for AI agents; the README documents sqlite, jira, and claude backends. Before choosing it, note that the server has never been inspected, so the exact tools it exposes are not measured.

  • Best for: Multi-instance Jira teams: it routes requests across several Jira instances from one MCP server.

    The README documents Jira operations for sync, search, comments, transitions, time logging, reassignment, and creating and deleting issues. It targets Atlassian Cloud and expects one API token and a config directory at ~/.softspark/jira-mcp/.

  • Best for: Self-hosted Jira with PAT authentication: it provides tools for issue CRUD, JQL search, comments, and project listing.

    It exposes 12 tools covering issue CRUD, JQL search, comments, project listing, and assignment, all authenticated via PAT. It requires a self-hosted Jira instance and a Personal Access Token, so it cannot be used with Jira Cloud.

  • Best for: Teams that need one MCP server for Jira and Confluence on Cloud or Data Center: it covers issue, sprint, worklog, attachment, and Confluence search tools.

    It exposes 72 tools, mostly Jira operations (issue search, create, update, transitions, sprints, boards, worklogs, attachments, project versions) plus Confluence search. The one thing worth knowing before choosing it is that Xray for Jira is supported only on Server/Data Center, not Cloud.

  • Best for: Jira administrators needing to migrate off classic API tokens: this server uses Atlassian's scoped tokens via the modern api.atlassian.com gateway, with a read-only default.

    It exposes read tools such as jira_get_issue, jira_search, and jira_list_projects, plus write tools such as jira_create_issue, jira_update_issue, and jira_add_comment, with delete operations gated by a confirm parameter. Before installing, note the environment requirements: a scoped API token with ATATT prefix, JIRA_INSTANCE, JIRA_USER_EMAIL, and Node 18 or newer; if JIRA_SCOPES is omitted, only read tools are registered.

  • Best for: Jira Tempo users who want natural-language worklog tracking from Claude or Cursor: it exposes seven worklog management tools, including bulk create.

    The server exposes seven MCP tools for retrieving, creating, editing, deleting, and analyzing Tempo worklogs, and its README documents local npx, local clone, and Cloudflare Workers remote deployment. A requirement to note: it assumes a Jira Cloud instance, a Tempo API token, and, unless OAuth 2.0 PKCE is used, a Jira API token.

It runs on Node.js 18+, and its read-only default keeps mutating tools disabled unless CONFLUENCE_READ_ONLY=false is set.

    OpenTabs is an MCP server with a Chrome extension that exposes 42 tools for browser tab control, clicking and typing, network capture, and plugin checks. Before choosing it, note that it requires Node.js 22+ and Chrome, and every tool starts disabled until explicitly enabled.

  • Best for: Jira Cloud teams that want natural-language issue and sprint management: it exposes tools for issues, filters, projects, boards, sprints, and batch operations.

    The server wraps Jira Cloud APIs behind MCP tools for managing issues, filters, projects, boards, sprints, and queued batch operations, and also exposes resources such as instance summaries and custom-field catalogs. Before choosing it, note that it targets Jira Cloud only and needs an Atlassian API token plus the JIRA_EMAIL and JIRA_HOST environment variables.

  • Best for: Self-hosted Jira and Bitbucket teams: start_work creates a branch from a ticket and complete_work merges the PR and transitions the ticket to Done.

    It exposes 10 tools for git context and Jira ticket workflows, and its README also documents Bitbucket pull request tools and a dev-context resource. Its scope is self-hosted instances only: the README explicitly says Jira Cloud and Bitbucket Cloud are not supported.
