Returns status, assignee, priority, project, type, labels, components, timestamps, and description. |
| jira_search_issuesA | Search for Jira issues using JQL. Supports complex queries with pagination and field selection. Examples: "project = PROJECT AND status = Open", "assignee = currentUser()". For pagination, use nextPageToken from previous response. |
| jira_get_my_issuesA | Retrieves issues assigned to current user, sorted by most recently updated first. Supports pagination and field selection. For pagination, use nextPageToken from previous response. |
| jira_get_issue_typesA | Retrieves available issue types. Can get global issue types or project-specific issue types including regular issues and subtasks (Bug, Story, Task, Epic, etc.). |

| jira_get_create_metaA | Retrieves create metadata for a project, showing all available fields (including custom fields) for creating issues. Shows required vs optional fields, field types, and allowed values. Use this before creating issues to discover what fields are needed. |
| jira_get_custom_fieldsA | Retrieves all custom fields available in Jira. Shows custom field names, IDs (e.g., customfield_10071), and types. Useful for discovering what custom fields exist and their identifiers. |

| jira_get_attachmentsA | Lists all attachments on a Jira issue. Returns attachment metadata including filename, size, MIME type, author, and download URL. |
| jira_get_transitionsA | Retrieves all available workflow transitions for a Jira issue. Use this to discover which status changes are possible for an issue before calling jira_transition_issue. |
| jira_create_issueA | Creates a new Jira issue in the specified project. Supports setting issue type, priority, assignee, labels, components, and custom fields. Description format is controlled by the "format" parameter (default: markdown). For required custom fields, supply them via customFields (e.g., { "customfield_12345": { id: "..." } }). Returns the created issue with all details. |

DIRECT METHOD (for small files):
Returns attachment metadata including ID and download URL. To reference the image in a comment or description, use wiki markup: !filename.png! or !filename.png|thumbnail! |
| jira_transition_issueB | Transitions a Jira issue to a new workflow status (e.g., "To Do" -> "In Progress" -> "Done"). Use jira_get_transitions first to discover available transitions. Supports adding a comment and setting resolution during the transition. |
| jira_get_issue_graphA | Build a dependency/relationship graph starting from a seed issue.
