Profile completionA complete profile improves this server's visibility in search results.
  • Latest release: v0.4.0

  • Disambiguation5/5

    Each tool targets a distinct Jira domain (e.g., attachments, boards, users, issues), with clear descriptions that avoid overlap. An agent can easily distinguish between them.

    Naming Consistency5/5

    All tools follow a consistent 'manage_<domain>' pattern in snake_case, providing a uniform and predictable naming convention.

    Tool Count5/5

    Ten tools is an optimal size for a Jira server, covering major functional areas without being overwhelming or too sparse.

    Completeness5/5

    The server covers a comprehensive set of Jira operations: issues, projects, users, boards, worklogs, metrics, versions, attachments, and dev info. No obvious gaps in functionality.

How to sync the server with GitHub?

Servers are automatically synced at least once per day, but you can also sync manually at any time to instantly update the server profile.

To manually sync the server, click the "Sync Server" button in the MCP server admin interface.

How is the quality score calculated?

The overall quality score combines two components: Tool Definition Quality (70%) and Server Coherence (30%).

Tool Definition Quality measures how well each tool describes itself to AI agents. Every tool is scored 1–5 across six dimensions: Purpose Clarity (25%), Usage Guidelines (20%), Behavioral Transparency (20%), Parameter Semantics (15%), Conciseness & Structure (10%), and Contextual Completeness (10%). The server-level definition quality score is calculated as 60% mean TDQS + 40% minimum TDQS, so a single poorly described tool pulls the score down.

Server Coherence evaluates how well the tools work together as a set, scoring four dimensions equally: Disambiguation (can agents tell tools apart?), Naming Consistency, Tool Count Appropriateness, and Completeness (are there gaps in the tool surface?).

Tiers are derived from the overall score: A (≥3.5), B (≥3.0), C (≥2.0), D (≥1.0), F (<1.0). B and above is considered passing.

Tool Scores

  • Behavior2/5

    Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

    With no annotations provided, the description carries full burden but only lists actions. It fails to disclose behavioral traits like permission requirements, side effects of 'create', or error conditions.

    Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

    Conciseness3/5

    Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

    The description is concise in length but incomplete and misleading. A single sentence cannot adequately describe a tool with 7 parameters and multiple actions.

    Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

    Completeness2/5

    Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

    Given no output schema and 7 parameters, the description should provide more context about return values, error handling, and action relationships. It is insufficient for effective tool invocation.

    Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

    Parameters2/5

    Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

    Schema coverage is 100% so description adds minimal value; however, it contradicts the schema by omitting the 'create' action, reducing clarity further.

    Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

    Purpose2/5

    Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

    Description states only 'list' and 'get' actions, but the input schema includes 'create', creating a misleading inconsistency. The purpose is not fully and accurately conveyed.

    Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

    Usage Guidelines2/5

    Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

    No guidance on when to use this tool versus sibling tools like manage_issues or manage_projects. No context about prerequisites or typical use cases.

    Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

  • Behavior2/5

    Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

    With no annotations, the description must convey behavioral traits. It states 'Get' implying a safe read, but does not disclose if the tool is idempotent, what permissions are needed, error behaviors, or rate limits. The description is insufficient to understand side effects or constraints.

    Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

    Conciseness3/5

    Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

    The description is brief (two sentences) and front-loads the purpose. However, the second sentence ('Actions: get_dev_info') is redundant given the schema and adds little value. It is concise but not optimally informative.

    Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

    Completeness2/5

    Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

    Despite having 100% schema coverage, the description lacks context about return values, error handling, or preconditions (e.g., issue must exist). Given no output schema and no annotations, the description should provide more completeness to aid the agent, but it does not.

    Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

    Parameters2/5

    Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

    Schema coverage is 100%, so parameters are well-described in the schema. The description adds no additional meaning to parameters beyond what the schema already provides (e.g., action value, issue_key format, boolean flags). It merely restates the action, providing no extra semantic value.

    Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

    Purpose4/5

    Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

    The description clearly states the tool retrieves development info (branches, PRs, commits) for a Jira issue. It specifies the exact resource and action, making the purpose distinct from sibling tools like manage_issues. However, it does not explicitly differentiate itself from other manage_* tools.

    Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

    Usage Guidelines2/5

    Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

    No guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. The description lacks context about prerequisites, typical use cases, or situations where another tool would be more appropriate. Sibling tools exist, but no comparison is provided.

    Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

  • Behavior2/5

    Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

    With no annotations, the description carries the burden but merely lists action names without describing behaviors like side effects, idempotency, or error handling. Destructive actions like 'delete' and 'update' lack behavioral context. Some parameter descriptions in schema add transparency, but the main description does not.

    Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

    Conciseness4/5

    Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

    The description is one sentence listing actions, very concise and front-loaded with the main purpose. However, it lacks structure such as grouping actions into categories, which would improve usability. No wasted words, but could be better organized.

    Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

    Completeness2/5

    Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

    Given the tool's complexity (25 parameters, 18 actions, no output schema), the description is strikingly minimal. It does not explain return values, typical usage patterns, or prerequisites. Relies entirely on schema for parameter details, which is insufficient for an agent.

    Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

    Parameters3/5

    Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

    The input schema has 100% description coverage, so the schema already documents all parameters. The main description adds no parameter-specific information beyond listing actions, which are also in the schema. Baseline 3 is appropriate.

    Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

    Purpose4/5

    Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

    The description clearly identifies the tool as for Jira issue operations and lists 18 actions, specifying the resource (issues) and actions. However, it is somewhat a laundry list and lacks a concise purpose statement beyond 'unified tool', slightly reducing clarity.

    Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

    Usage Guidelines2/5

    Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

    No guidance on when to use this tool versus siblings like manage_search or manage_worklogs. No explicit when-to-use, when-not-to-use, or alternatives. Context from sibling names implies it is for issues, but that is not stated.

    Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

  • Behavior2/5

    Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

    No annotations and the description only lists actions; it does not disclose that the tool is read-only, permissions required, or any side effects.

    Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

    Conciseness4/5

    Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

    Single sentence is highly concise and front-loaded with the core purpose; no wasted words.

    Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

    Completeness2/5

    Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

    Despite full schema coverage, the description omits return value behavior and does not explain how actions relate to parameters for an agent without output schema.

    Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

    Parameters3/5

    Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

    All 4 parameters have descriptions in the schema; the description adds listing of actions but does not provide further semantic value beyond the schema.

    Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

    Purpose4/5

    Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

    Description clearly states 'Search and get Jira users' and enumerates three specific actions, distinguishing it from sibling tools focused on other resources.

    Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

    Usage Guidelines2/5

    Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

    No guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives, no mention of prerequisites or context where one action is preferred over another.

    Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

  • Behavior2/5

    Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

    No annotations provided; description gives minimal behavioral info (list of actions) but lacks details on success/failure, idempotency, permissions, or side effects.

    Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

    Conciseness4/5

    Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

    Short and to the point, but slightly redundant (second sentence restates first). No unnecessary words.

    Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

    Completeness2/5

    Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

    For a multi-action tool with 4 parameters and no output schema, the description is too brief. Does not explain behavior per action (e.g., what 'list' returns, how 'download' delivers file).

    Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

    Parameters3/5

    Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

    Schema description coverage is 100%, so schema already explains parameters. Description adds no new meaning beyond listing action names already in schema.

    Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

    Purpose5/5

    Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

    Clearly states the tool manages Jira issue attachments with specific actions (list, download, upload, delete). The description distinguishes it from sibling tools like manage_issues or manage_boards.

    Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

    Usage Guidelines2/5

    Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

    No guidance on when to use each action or alternatives. Does not explain prerequisites or when not to use this tool.

    Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

  • Behavior2/5

    Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

    No annotations provided, and the description does not disclose behavioral traits such as destructive actions, permissions needed, or rate limits.

    Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

    Conciseness4/5

    Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

    Concise single sentence with clear list of actions, but could be structured better with section breaks.

    Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

    Completeness2/5

    Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

    No output schema, no annotations, and description lacks information about return values or side effects for actions.

    Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

    Parameters3/5

    Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

    Input schema has 100% description coverage; the description adds no additional meaning beyond the schema's parameter descriptions.

    Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

    Purpose5/5

    Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

    The description clearly states it manages Jira agile boards and sprints, and lists specific actions, distinguishing it from sibling tools like manage_issues or manage_projects.

    Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

    Usage Guidelines2/5

    Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

    No guidance on when to use this tool vs. alternatives; it simply lists actions without context about when each action is appropriate.

    Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

  • Behavior2/5

    Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

    Description lacks behavioral traits beyond listing actions. For a tool that includes 'create' (a mutation), there is no mention of side effects, idempotency, or required permissions. No annotations exist to compensate.

    Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

    Conciseness4/5

    Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

    Two sentences with minimal redundancy. However, structuring the actions as a list or grouping related parameters would improve scannability.

    Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

    Completeness2/5

    Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

    No output schema exists, but the description does not hint at return values. With nine parameters and multiple actions, it fails to clarify which parameters apply to which action, requiring the agent to infer from schema descriptions.

    Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

    Parameters3/5

    Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

    All parameters are described in the schema (100% coverage), meeting the baseline. However, the description adds no additional meaning for parameters beyond the action list, missing opportunities to clarify conditional requirements.

    Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

    Purpose5/5

    Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

    The description clearly states it manages Jira projects with four distinct actions: list, get, list_statuses, create. It distinguishes from sibling tools like manage_issues or manage_boards by focusing on project-level operations.

    Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

    Usage Guidelines2/5

    Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

    No guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like manage_issues or manage_versions. The description lists actions but does not explain context or prerequisites for using 'create' versus other actions.

    Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

  • Behavior2/5

    Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

    With no annotations, the description carries the full burden. It only mentions actions but fails to disclose side effects (e.g., who can add worklogs), permissions needed, or what happens on list (e.g., pagination behavior). Minimal transparency.

    Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

    Conciseness5/5

    Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

    Two sentences that are front-loaded with purpose and action list. No extraneous information; every word earns its place.

    Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

    Completeness2/5

    Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

    Given the 7-parameter schema and no output schema, the description is too brief. It does not explain how actions relate to parameters (e.g., time_spent required for add), pagination for list, or default behavior. Incomplete for complex tool.

    Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

    Parameters3/5

    Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

    The input schema has 100% description coverage, so the schema already documents individual parameters. The description adds no further meaning beyond listing actions, meeting the baseline for schema-covered parameters.

    Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

    Purpose5/5

    Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

    The description clearly states the tool manages time tracking worklogs on Jira issues and lists the available actions 'list' and 'add'. This distinguishes it from sibling tools like manage_attachments or manage_issues.

    Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

    Usage Guidelines2/5

    Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

    The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool over siblings or which action to choose. It does not mention prerequisites, context, or when to avoid using it.

    Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

  • Behavior2/5

    Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

    No annotations are provided, so the description must compensate. The description implies read-only behavior ('get') but does not explicitly state that the tool is non-destructive, nor does it mention permissions, rate limits, or other behavioral traits. This leaves gaps for the agent.

    Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

    Conciseness5/5

    Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

    The description is only two sentences, front-loaded with the main purpose, and directly lists the actions with meaningful context. No unnecessary words or repetition. Every sentence earns its place.

    Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

    Completeness3/5

    Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

    Given the tool has 2 parameters, no output schema, and no annotations, the description covers the actions well but lacks information about return values, behavioral impact, and when to use. It is minimally adequate but leaves room for improvement.

    Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

    Parameters4/5

    Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

    Schema coverage is 100%, so baseline is 3. The description adds value by explaining the two actions in detail: 'raw date info, status transitions, time-in-status' for get_dates and 'computed cycle time, lead time, time in current status, status breakdown' for get_metrics. This goes beyond the schema's simple enum-like description.

    Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

    Purpose5/5

    Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

    The description clearly states the tool's purpose: 'Get issue lifecycle metrics for dashboards and visualizations.' It specifies two distinct actions with clear explanations, making it easy to understand what the tool does. The resource 'issue lifecycle metrics' is well-defined and distinct from sibling tools.

    Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

    Usage Guidelines3/5

    Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

    The description implicitly indicates usage by detailing actions, but it does not provide explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. No when-not-to-use or alternative tools are mentioned. Given the domain separation from siblings, this is adequate but not exceptional.

    Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

  • Behavior3/5

    Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

    No annotations are provided, so the description must cover behavioral traits. It mentions pagination parameters and action types but does not state that the operation is read-only or describe any side effects. For a search tool, this is adequate but could be more explicit.

    Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

    Conciseness5/5

    Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

    The description is a single clear sentence followed by a list of actions. It is concise, front-loaded, and contains no unnecessary words. Every part earns its place.

    Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

    Completeness3/5

    Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

    With 6 parameters and no output schema or annotations, the description should cover behavior more thoroughly. It explains the two search modes but does not describe the output format or confirm that it's a read operation. Some essential context is missing.

    Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

    Parameters4/5

    Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

    The input schema has 100% description coverage, so the baseline is 3. The description adds value by providing example JQL queries and clarifying the action parameter's values, which enhances understanding beyond the schema.

    Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

    Purpose5/5

    Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

    The description clearly states it searches Jira issues using JQL or quick text search, and lists the two actions. This distinguishes it from sibling tools like manage_issues or manage_projects which are about management, not search.

    Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

    Usage Guidelines4/5

    Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

    The description tells when to use each action ('jql' vs 'quick') and provides JQL examples. It doesn't explicitly state when not to use this tool, but the context is clear given the sibling tools are for different purposes.

    Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
