Overview

What is Jira MCP Server?

Jira MCP Server is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that integrates with Jira, enabling LLMs (like Claude) to interact with Jira projects, boards, sprints, and issues through tool calls.

How to use Jira MCP Server?

Configure the server in Claude Desktop’s claude_desktop_config.json with commands npx -y @parassolanki/jira-mcp-server@latest and environment variables JIRA_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN and JIRA_BASE_URL. After setup, the LLM can invoke the server’s tools.
