Overview

The JIRA MCP Server integrates JIRA services with MCP, allowing you to fetch JIRA content through MCP for use with LLM. This is an early version of the project aimed at enhancing the interaction between JIRA and MCP.

To use the JIRA MCP Server, you need to configure the required environment variables such as JIRA_API_KEY, JIRA_EMAIL, and JIRA_URL. After configuration, you can run the server using the command go run main.go or compile it into a binary for your platform.
