Mcp Jira Server

Overview

Mcp Jira Server is a Model Context Protocol server that connects your self-hosted Jira instance to AI assistants via Personal Access Token authentication. It exposes Jira functionality as tools that Claude, Cursor, VS Code, and other MCP clients can invoke directly, letting you query issues, manage projects, and interact with your Jira workspace without leaving your development environment.

The server runs locally using the mcp-jira-server npm package, installed via npx -y mcp-jira-server. You'll need to provide two environment variables: JIRA_BASE_URL pointing to your Jira instance and JIRA_PAT containing your Personal Access Token for API Key authentication. The latest release is v1.0.1.

Mcp Jira Server is listed in the Productivity category on mcp.site and works with Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, Zed, and other MCP clients. If you maintain this server, claim this listing to verify ownership and keep information current.
