Overview

What is Jira MCP Server?

Jira MCP Server is a bridge between Jira and the Model Context Protocol (MCP). It enables synchronization and interaction with Jira data through an MCP interface. It is built with Kotlin and Ktor, containerized with Docker, and intended for developers and teams who want to control Jira via AI assistants or MCP-compatible clients.

How to use Jira MCP Server?

Run the pre-built Docker images from GitHub Container Registry (ghcr.io/noxfr/jira-mcp-stdio or jira-mcp-sse). Configure the environment variables JIRA_URL, JIRA_EMAIL, and JIRA_API_TOKEN (or JIRA_PAT). The server supports two MCP transport modes: stdio and SSE. Example MCP client configurations are provided for both modes.

Key features of Jira MCP Server

  • Search Jira issues using JQL.
  • Get detailed issue information including comments.
  • Update existing Jira issues.
  • Retrieve available status transitions for an issue.

Use cases of Jira MCP Server

  • Fix multiple tickets matching a label and set them to review via AI assistant.
