This server integrates with Jira Cloud to programmatically manage issues through the REST API (/rest/api/3
). You can:
Get Issue By Key: Retrieve details of specific issues
Search Issues: Find issues matching specified criteria
Create Issue: Add new issues to projects
Assign/Unassign Issues: Manage issue ownership
Edit Issue: Modify issue details
Transition Issue: Move issues through workflows
Archive Issues: Remove issues from active lists
Note: This is a work in progress, currently tested only with Jira Cloud endpoints.
Provides tools for interacting with Jira, including getting issues by key, searching issues, creating new issues, assigning and unassigning issues, and editing existing issues. Works with Jira Cloud endpoints and potentially with Jira Data Center.
