Frequently asked questions

1

What does Jira MCP Server do?

It acts as a bridge between MCP-compatible AI assistants (like Claude) and Jira, providing tools to list projects, get issues, search, create issues, and manage sprints.

2

What dependencies are required?

Node.js (TypeScript), and the npm package dependencies installed via `npm install`. The server uses MCP protocol.

3

How do I authenticate with Jira?

You need a Jira API token, your Atlassian account email, and your Jira domain host (e.g., your-domain.atlassian.net). Add these as environment variables in the MCP server configuration.

4

Where does my data stay?

All data stays within your Jira instance (Atlassian cloud). The server makes API calls to Jira on your behalf; no data is stored locally beyond temporary processing.

5

What transport does the server use?

The server communicates via the MCP protocol using standard input/output (stdin/stdout) when launched with the `node` command.
