Overview

Jira MCP Server is a Model Context Protocol server that integrates with Jira's REST API, enabling AI assistants to manage Jira issues programmatically.

To use the Jira MCP Server, set up your environment by installing dependencies, building the server, and configuring it with your Jira credentials. You can then use various tools to create, list, update, get, delete issues, and add comments.

  • Create new issues (Tasks, Epics, Subtasks) - List issues with optional status filtering - Update existing issues (summary, description, status) - Get detailed issue information - Delete issues - Add comments to issues
  1. Automating issue creation for project management.
  2. Integrating AI assistants to manage Jira tasks.
  3. Streamlining issue updates and comments through automation.

Use these steps to connect Jira MCP Server 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-server-1broseidon": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-mcp-jira-server-1broseidon"
      ]
    }
  }
}

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-server-1broseidon": {
