Implementation Reference
- src/jira_server.py:235-260 (handler)The handler function that implements the core logic for the 'jira_search_issues' tool. It extracts JQL and max_results from arguments, queries the Jira client, formats the issue data into a list of dictionaries (key, summary, status, assignee, priority, created, updated), and returns it as a JSON-formatted TextContent.
async def _search_issues(self, arguments: dict) -> List[TextContent]: """Search for Jira issues""" jql = arguments["jql"] max_results = arguments.get("max_results", 50) results = self.jira_client.jql(jql, limit=max_results) issues = results.get("issues", []) formatted_issues = [] for issue in issues: fields = issue.get("fields", {}) formatted_issues.append({ "key": issue["key"], "summary": fields.get("summary", ""), "status": fields.get("status", {}).get("name", ""), "assignee": fields.get("assignee", {}).get("displayName", "Unassigned") if fields.get("assignee") else "Unassigned", "priority": fields.get("priority", {}).get("name", "") if fields.get("priority") else "", "created": fields.get("created", ""), "updated": fields.get("updated", "") }) return [TextContent( type="text", text=json.dumps(formatted_issues, indent=2) )] - src/jira_server.py:52-70 (registration)Registration of the 'jira_search_issues' tool in the list_tools() method, including its name, description, and input schema definition.
