Tools

Functions exposed to the LLM to take actions

NameDescription
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.
