JIRA MCP Server Implementation in Python

Catalog onlyCatalog onlySTDIO

Overview

MCP JIRA Python is a Python implementation of a MCP server designed for JIRA integration, allowing secure and local communication between AI applications and JIRA.

To use MCP JIRA Python, clone the repository from GitHub, configure the necessary settings in the claude_desktop_config.json file, and run the server to enable JIRA tools.

  • Delete, create, and update JIRA issues - Retrieve issue details including comments and attachments - Create relationships between issues - Search for issues using JQL - Add comments with or without attachments
  1. Automating JIRA issue management tasks
  2. Integrating JIRA with AI applications for enhanced productivity
  3. Facilitating secure local communication for JIRA operations

Add to your AI client

Use these steps to connect MCP JIRA Python 🚀 in Cursor, Claude, VS Code, and other MCP-compatible apps. The same JSON appears in the Use with menu above for one-click copy.

Cursor

Add this to your .cursor/mcp.json file in your project root, then restart Cursor.

.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp-jira-python-kallows": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-mcp-jira-python-kallows"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Claude Desktop

Add this server entry to the mcpServers object in your Claude Desktop config, then restart the app.

~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json (Windows)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp-jira-python-kallows": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-mcp-jira-python-kallows"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Claude Code

Add this to your project's .mcp.json file. Claude Code will detect it automatically.

.mcp.json (project root)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp-jira-python-kallows": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-mcp-jira-python-kallows"
      ]
    }
  }
}

VS Code (Copilot)

Add this to your .vscode/mcp.json file. Requires the GitHub Copilot extension with MCP support enabled.

.vscode/mcp.json

{
  "servers": {
    "mcp-jira-python-kallows": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-mcp-jira-python-kallows"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Windsurf

Add this to your Windsurf MCP config file, then restart Windsurf.

~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp-jira-python-kallows": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-mcp-jira-python-kallows"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Cline

Open Cline settings, navigate to MCP Servers, and add this server configuration.

Cline MCP Settings (via UI)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp-jira-python-kallows": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-mcp-jira-python-kallows"
      ]
    }
  }
}
