Overview

What is Jira MCP Server?

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that allows Claude and other AI assistants to create and manage Jira issues. It connects AI assistants to a Jira instance, enabling automated ticket creation and project listing.

How to use Jira MCP Server?

Clone the repository, install dependencies with npm install, and set the required environment variables (JIRA_SERVER, JIRA_USER, JIRA_TOKEN, JIRA_PROJECTS). Run npm start to start the server, then configure your MCP client (e.g., Claude) to use it. The server exposes two tools: create_jira_issue and get_jira_projects.

  • List available Jira projects
  • Restrict projects via JIRA_PROJECTS environment variable
  • Supports issue types: Bug, Task, Story

Frequently asked questions

1

How do I get a Jira API token?

Log in to https://id.atlassian.com, go to Security → API tokens, click “Create API token”, name it, and copy the generated token.

2

What permissions does the Jira user need?

The user must have read access to the projects you want to list and create issue permissions for projects where you want to create tickets.

3

Why is the projects list empty?

Check that your Jira user can view the projects in `JIRA_PROJECTS`, that the project keys exist, and that your API token hasn’t expired.

4

Why do I get “You do not have permission to create issues in this project”?

Verify your Jira user has the “Create Issue” permission for that project. Try creating an issue manually with the same account to confirm.

5

Why do I get “Project X is not allowed” errors?

Ensure the project key is included in your `JIRA_PROJECTS` variable, spelled correctly, and matches your Jira project exactly (case‑sensitive).
