redhat-ai-tools/jira-mcp
For use with Cursor to provide access to Jira.
Note
This project is experimental and was initially created as a learning exercise. Be aware there are more capable and mature Jira MCP solutions available, such as sooperset/mcp-atlassian, and Atlassian's own MCP Server.
Example configuration file for Cursor (probably in ~/.cursor/mcp.json
):
Getting started
- Run
make setup
to set up the python environment - (Optional) Run
source venv/bin/activate
to set the python path - Got to your Jira profile page and create a personal access token, for example here
- Copy
.env.example
to.env
, add your token to that file, and update the url as required - Go to "Tools & Integrations" in the Cursor settings and paste in the JSON from above. Adjust the command path as appropriate.
- If it's working you should see a green indicator and "1 tools enabled"
- You should then be able to refer to Jiras in the chat panel, e.g. "What is jira EC-1324 about"
This server cannot be installed
A simple MCP server that provides access to Jira issues from Cursor AI, allowing users to reference and query Jira tickets directly in the chat panel.
