Implementation Reference

  • The main handler function for the 'jira_create_issue' MCP tool. Constructs issue data from parameters and delegates to jiraClient.createIssue.
    async ({ project, issueType, summary, description, assignee, priority }) => { logger.info('Creating JIRA issue', { project, issueType, summary }); try { const issueData = { project: { key: project }, issuetype: { name: issueType }, summary: summary, }; if (description) issueData.description = description; if (assignee) issueData.assignee = { accountId: assignee }; if (priority) issueData.priority = { name: priority }; const createdIssue = await jiraClient.createIssue(issueData); logger.info('Successfully created issue', { issueKey: createdIssue.key, summary }); return { content: [{ type: 'text', text: JSON.stringify(createdIssue, null, 2) }] }; } catch (error) { logger.error('Failed to create issue', { project, summary, error: error.message }); throw error; } }
  • Zod-based input schema defining parameters for creating a JIRA issue.
    inputSchema: { project: z.string().describe('Project key'), issueType: z.string().describe('Issue type (e.g., Bug, Task, Story)'), summary: z.string().describe('Issue summary'), description: z.string().optional().describe('Issue description'), assignee: z.string().optional().describe('Assignee account ID'), priority: z.string().optional().describe('Priority name')
  • server.js:251-295 (registration)
    Registration of the jira_create_issue tool with the MCP server, including metadata, schema, and handler.
    // Register jira_create_issue tool server.registerTool( 'jira_create_issue', { title: 'Create JIRA Issue', description: 'Create a new JIRA issue', inputSchema: { project: z.string().describe('Project key'), issueType: z.string().describe('Issue type (e.g., Bug, Task, Story)'), summary: z.string().describe('Issue summary'), description: z.string().optional().describe('Issue description'), assignee: z.string().optional().describe('Assignee account ID'), priority: z.string().optional().describe('Priority name') } }, async ({ project, issueType, summary, description, assignee, priority }) => { logger.info('Creating JIRA issue', { project, issueType, summary }); try { const issueData = { project: { key: project }, issuetype: { name: issueType }, summary: summary, }; if (description) issueData.description = description; if (assignee) issueData.assignee = { accountId: assignee }; if (priority) issueData.priority = { name: priority }; const createdIssue = await jiraClient.createIssue(issueData); logger.info('Successfully created issue', { issueKey: createdIssue.key, summary }); return { content: [{ type: 'text', text: JSON.stringify(createdIssue, null, 2) }] }; } catch (error) { logger.error('Failed to create issue', { project, summary, error: error.message }); throw error; } } );
  • JiraClient.createIssue helper method that performs the actual API POST request to create the issue via JIRA REST API.
    async createIssue(issueData) { logger.info('Creating JIRA issue', { issueData }); return await this.makeRequest('issue', { method: 'POST', body: JSON.stringify({ fields: issueData }) }); }
