Integrates with Atlassian's Jira platform to access issue data and generate activity reports using the Jira API.
Uses .env files to securely store Jira connection credentials including API tokens for authentication.
Connects to Jira Cloud or Server/Data Center to generate weekly reports based on issue activity. Supports custom JQL queries, project filtering, and result limiting.
Jira Weekly Reporter MCP Server
This project provides a FastMCP server that connects to your Jira instance (Cloud or Server/Data Center) to generate weekly reports based on issue activity. It leverages the pycontribs-jira
library for Jira interaction and can optionally use the connected client's Large Language Model (LLM) for summarizing the generated report.
✨ Features
Jira Connection: Securely connects to Jira using API tokens stored in a
.env
file.MCP Tool: Exposes a
generate_jira_report
tool accessible via the Model Context Protocol.Flexible Reporting:
Defaults to reporting issues updated in the last 7 days.
Allows specifying a custom JQL query.
Can filter reports by a specific Jira project key.
Limits the number of results returned (configurable).
(Optional) LLM Summarization: Can use the client's LLM (via
ctx.sample()
) to provide a concise summary of the report.Asynchronous Handling: Properly handles synchronous Jira library calls within the asynchronous FastMCP server using
asyncio.to_thread
.
📋 Prerequisites
Python 3.10 or later.
uv
(recommended) orpip
for package management.Access to a Jira instance (Cloud, Server, or Data Center).
A Jira API Token (Personal Access Token for Server/DC).
FastMCP CLI installed and available in your system's PATH.
⚙️ Setup
Clone the Repository (if applicable):
git clone https://github.com/Jongryong/jira_reporter.git cd jira_reporterInstall Dependencies: We recommend using
uv
:uv pip install fastmcp "jira[cli]" python-dotenv httpx anyioAlternatively, use
pip
:pip install fastmcp "jira[cli]" python-dotenv httpx anyioCreate Create a file named
.env
in the same directory asjira_reporter_server.py
. Add your Jira connection details:# .env JIRA_URL=https://your-domain.atlassian.net # Your Jira Cloud URL or Self-Hosted URL JIRA_USERNAME=your_email@example.com # Your Jira login email JIRA_API_TOKEN=your_api_token_or_pat # Your generated API Token or PATSecurity:
Never commit your Add
.env
to your.gitignore
file.Jira Cloud: Generate an API token from your Atlassian account settings: Manage API tokens.
Jira Server/Data Center: Generate a Personal Access Token (PAT) from your Jira user profile settings: Using Personal Access Tokens.
▶️ Running the Server (Standalone)
You can run the server independently for testing or other purposes:
Directly with Python:
python jira_reporter_server.pyUsing the FastMCP CLI:
fastmcp run jira_reporter_server.pyTo run with SSE (e.g., for remote access):
fastmcp run jira_reporter_server.py --transport sse --port 8001
🖥️ Using with Claude Desktop
To make this server available as a tool within the Claude Desktop application:
Ensure Prerequisites: Make sure
fastmcp
is installed and accessible in your system's PATH, as the configuration below uses thefastmcp
command.Locate Claude Config File: Find the
claude_desktop_config.json
file. Its location depends on your operating system:macOS:
~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
Windows:
%APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json
(usuallyC:\Users\<YourUsername>\AppData\Roaming\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json
)Linux:
~/.config/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
(or$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/Claude/
)
Edit the Config File: Open
claude_desktop_config.json
in a text editor.Add Server Configuration: Find the
"mcpServers"
object within the JSON (if it doesn't exist, create it as an empty object{}
). Add the following entry insidemcpServers
, making sure to replace"path/to/your/jira_reporter_server.py"
with the absolute path to your script:{ "mcpServers": { // ... other servers might be here ... "jira_report": { "command": "fastmcp", "args": [ "run", "/path/to/your/jira_reporter_server.py" // <-- IMPORTANT: Use the full, absolute path here ] } // ... other servers might be here ... } // ... rest of your Claude config ... }"jira_report"
: This is the internal name Claude uses. You can change it if desired."command": "fastmcp"
: Tells Claude to use thefastmcp
command-line tool."args": [...]
: Tells Claude to runfastmcp run /path/to/your/jira_reporter_server.py
.
Save and Restart: Save the
claude_desktop_config.json
file and restart the Claude Desktop application.Invoke the Tool: You should now be able to use the tool in Claude by mentioning the server name defined in the Python script (
Jira Weekly Reporter
). For example:@Jira Weekly Reporter generate jira report for project MYPROJ and summarize it
🛠️ MCP Tool Details

📦 Server Dependencies
The FastMCP
constructor includes dependencies=["jira"]
. This tells tools like fastmcp install
that the jira
library is required for this server to function correctly when creating isolated environments.
