FAQ from Jira MCP Server

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.

What dependencies are required?

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

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.

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.

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.
