Jira MCP Server

⚠️ 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).

Running the Server

  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

Available Tools

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