jira-mcp

An MCP server that connects Claude Code (or any MCP client) to Jira Cloud, so an AI agent can find a ticket, work on it, and report back on the ticket in one flow.

"Find my open bugs in PROJ, fix PROJ-12, then comment on the ticket with what changed."

Tools

Tool

What it does

search_issues

Search issues with JQL (uses the current /rest/api/3/search/jql endpoint)

get_issue

Read one issue: summary, status, description and the latest comments

create_issue

Create a Task, Bug or Story, with an optional description

add_comment

Comment on an issue, e.g. a summary of a fix

Descriptions and comments are converted to and from Atlassian Document Format (ADF), which Jira Cloud v3 requires for rich text. Errors such as a bad token (401) or an unknown key (404) come back to the agent as readable tool errors instead of crashing the server.

Related MCP server: Atlassian Jira MCP Server

Setup

  1. Create a Jira API token: Atlassian account → Security → API tokens.

  2. Build the server:

    npm install
npm run build

  3. Register it with Claude Code:

    claude mcp add jira \
  -e JIRA_BASE_URL=https://your-site.atlassian.net \
  -e JIRA_EMAIL=you@example.com \
  -e JIRA_API_TOKEN=your-api-token \
  -- node /absolute/path/to/jira-mcp/dist/index.js

  4. Start claude and ask: "Search open issues in project PROJ."

Never commit your token. .env is git-ignored; see .env.example for the variables.

Stack

TypeScript, the official @modelcontextprotocol/sdk, Zod for tool input schemas, and the Jira Cloud REST API v3 over stdio transport.
