Implementation Reference
- src/handlers/transition-handlers.ts:7-36 (handler)The core handler function that implements the get_transitions tool logic: fetches available transitions for a Jira issue using the API and returns formatted text response.
async handleGetTransitions(args: any) { try { const { issueKey } = args; if (!issueKey) { throw new Error('issueKey is required'); } const result = await this.apiClient.get(`/issue/${issueKey}/transitions`); return { content: [ { type: 'text', text: JiraFormatters.formatTransitions(result.transitions), }, ], }; } catch (error: any) { return { content: [ { type: 'text', text: JiraFormatters.formatError(error), }, ], isError: true, }; } } - src/tools/definitions.ts:223-236 (schema)Defines the tool schema including name, description, and inputSchema requiring 'issueKey'.
{ name: 'get_transitions', description: 'Get available status transitions for a Jira issue', inputSchema: { type: 'object', properties: { issueKey: { type: 'string', description: 'The issue key (e.g., PROJ-123)', }, }, required: ['issueKey'], }, }, - src/index.ts:128-129 (registration)Registers the tool in the MCP server by handling the CallToolRequest for 'get_transitions' and delegating to the handler.
case 'get_transitions': return this.transitionHandlers.handleGetTransitions(request.params.arguments);
