Mcp Jira Stdio

Overview

Mcp Jira Stdio is an MCP server that connects your AI assistant directly to Jira Cloud. It exposes tools for managing issues, searching, adding comments, handling attachments, and executing transitions—all invoked by Claude, Cursor, VS Code, and other MCP clients on your behalf.

The server runs locally via the npm package mcp-jira-stdio, communicating over stdio. Set up requires three environment variables: JIRA_BASE_URL, JIRA_EMAIL, and JIRA_API_TOKEN for API key authentication. Version v1.11.1 is published under the MIT license with source code at freema/mcp-jira-stdio on GitHub.

Mcp Jira Stdio is listed in the Productivity category and works with Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, Zed, and other MCP clients. If you maintain this server, claim your listing to verify ownership and keep information up to date.
