Overview

What is Git Jira MCP Server?

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that automatically detects the current Git branch name, extracts a Jira issue ID from it, and fetches the corresponding Jira issue details. It provides title, description, status, priority, and assignee information directly in your MCP-compatible client. Aimed at developers who want to see Jira context without leaving their coding environment.

How to use Git Jira MCP Server?

Configure the server in your MCP client’s mcp.json file with the command npx -y git-jira-mcp-server and set the required environment variables: JIRA_INSTANCE_URL, JIRA_USER_EMAIL, JIRA_API_KEY, and optionally JIRA_BRANCH_PATTERNS. The server will then match your current Git branch against the configured patterns and fetch the corresponding Jira issue.
