20 Best Jira MCP Servers, Compared (November 2026)

Updated 20 of 647 Jira servers in the Glama registryRebuilt weekly

The short answer

For Atlassian Cloud teams that want Jira and Confluence together, start with MCP Atlassian: it is a Community favourite with 6,097 GitHub stars, 123 stars gained per 30 days, a commit 0 days ago, and 26 commits in the last 12 weeks. It is designed for Atlassian Cloud instances and covers JQL issue search, issue creation and transitions, and Confluence page tools from one server. If you need a cloud-hosted bridge across Jira, Confluence, Jira Service Management, Bitbucket, Compass, and Loom with OAuth 2.1 or API token authentication, use Atlassian Rovo MCP Server instead; it had a commit 2 days ago and 28 commits in the last 12 weeks. If you are on Atlassian Server or Data Center, MCP Atlassian is not the answer: use a server described for that deployment, such as Atlassian Data Center MCP or jira-easy-mcp.

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.

The ranking, with the evidence

  • Best for: Teams running Jira and Confluence together on Atlassian Cloud: one server covers JQL issue search, issue creation and transitions, and Confluence page tools.

    It exposes Jira tools for JQL search, issue retrieval, creation, updates and status transitions, alongside Confluence tools for CQL search and page create/update, configured through environment variables such as JIRA_URL and JIRA_API_TOKEN. Its own description limits it to Atlassian Cloud and rules out Server and Data Center, while the README separately claims Server/Data Center support, so confirm which deployment you run before installing.

Before it can reach any data, an OAuth 2.0 integration must be created in the Atlassian Developer Console, pointed at the http://localhost:8080/callback URL, given the scopes the README lists, and installed on the target site.

  • Best for: Answering aggregate questions JQL cannot express, such as open issues per epic: it mirrors Jira into local SQLite and exposes read-only SQL and full-text search.

    gadak mirrors selected Jira Cloud projects and Confluence spaces into one local SQLite file, and its MCP tools answer from that file with read-only SQL, full-text search across issues, comments and wiki pages, issue detail, and sprint and retro reads. Choosing it means running a sync first: the projects and spaces to mirror must be named, the wiki stays off until spaces are named, and reads reflect the last sync rather than live Jira.

  • Best for: Before an agent applies an infrastructure change: it exposes estimate_change_cost to price the proposed change and check it against budget.

    nable is a local MCP server with 10 tools for connecting AWS, Azure, and GCP, summarizing spend by service, account, and region, preflighting proposed infrastructure costs, and checking AI and action policy gates. Before choosing it, note that Azure has no local credentials nable can safely auto-detect, so its connection flow requires a service-principal secret kept off the model.

Questions people ask

Should I use MCP Atlassian or Atlassian Rovo MCP Server for Jira Cloud?

Use MCP Atlassian when you want Jira and Confluence together on Atlassian Cloud and prefer a project with 6,097 GitHub stars, 123 stars gained per 30 days, and 26 commits in the last 12 weeks. Use Atlassian Rovo MCP Server when you need a cloud-hosted bridge for Jira, Confluence, Jira Service Management, Bitbucket, Compass, and Loom with OAuth 2.1 or API token authentication. MCP Atlassian does not support Atlassian Server or Data Center deployments, so that choice only applies to Cloud.

Can I use jira-easy-mcp on Atlassian Cloud?

jira-easy-mcp is described for self-hosted Jira Server or Data Center environments that disallow API tokens, using a plain username and password via HTTP Basic Authentication. If you are on Atlassian Cloud, use a server whose description names Cloud, such as MCP Atlassian or Atlassian Rovo MCP Server.

What do I need before running MCP Atlassian?

MCP Atlassian is designed for Atlassian Cloud instances and does not support Atlassian Server or Data Center deployments. It has no npm package published and no PyPI package attributed, so do not plan on an npm or PyPI installation.
