Overview

What is Jira Context MCP?

Jira Context MCP is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that integrates Jira’s issue tracking with AI‑assisted IDEs like Cursor. It enables developers to fetch issue details, retrieve assigned tickets, filter by issue type, and automate workflows directly from their editor.

How to use Jira Context MCP?

Install via Smithery (npx -y @smithery/cli install @rahulthedevil/Jira-Context-MCP --client claude) or manually by cloning the repo, running npm install, creating a .env with your Jira credentials, and building (npm run build). Start the HTTP server with npm start or CLI mode with npm run start:cli. Then in Cursor, open Command Palette, choose “Connect to MCP Server”, and enter http://localhost:3000/sse.
