Tools
Functions exposed to the LLM to take actions
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| jira_versionA | Get the Jira MCP server version and service status. |
| jira_writeA | Create or update Jira resources (non-destructive). Call with operation="help" to list all available write operations. Otherwise pass the operation name and a JSON object with parameters. Example: jira_write(operation="CreateIssue", params={"project_key": "PROJ", "issue_type": "Task", "summary": "Fix login bug"}) |
| jira_executeA | Trigger Jira state changes (transition, assign, unassign). Distinct from write because these are side-effects on existing issues rather than resource creation. Call with operation="help" to list all available execute operations. Example: jira_execute(operation="TransitionIssue", params={"issue_key": "PROJ-1", "transition_id": "31"}) |
| jira_deleteA | Delete Jira resources (destructive, irreversible). Call with operation="help" to list all available delete operations. Otherwise pass the operation name and a JSON object with parameters. Example: jira_delete(operation="DeleteIssue", params={"issue_key": "PROJ-123"}) |
| jira_readA | Query Jira data (safe, read-only). Call with operation="help" to list all available read operations. Otherwise pass the operation name and a JSON object with parameters. Example: jira_read(operation="SearchIssues", params={"jql": "project = PROJ AND status = Open"}) |
