Overview

What is MCP Jira Integration?

MCP Jira Integration is a Model Context Protocol server that connects LLMs to Jira via the Jira REST API v3. It enables AI assistants to act as project managers and personal assistants for Jira teams by providing tools like issue creation, sprint tracking, and standup generation.

How to use MCP Jira Integration?

Clone the repository, install dependencies in a virtual environment, and configure Jira credentials in a .env file. Run the server with python -m mcp_jira and connect it to any MCP-compatible client (e.g., Claude Desktop) by adding the server entry to the client’s configuration file.

FAQ from MCP Jira Integration

What are the requirements to run MCP Jira Integration?

Python 3.8 or higher, a Jira Cloud account with an API token, and an MCP-compatible client like Claude Desktop.

How do I get a Jira API token?

Go to Atlassian Account Settings > Security > API tokens, create a token, and use your email as username with the token as password.

Where do I configure the server for Claude Desktop?

The config file is at ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json on macOS and %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json on Windows. Add the server entry with the absolute path to the Python binary inside the project’s .venv folder.

What should I do if I get “No active sprint found”?

Ensure your Jira board has an active sprint and that DEFAULT_BOARD_ID is set correctly in your configuration.

Can I override the default project key per request?

Yes. The PROJECT_KEY and DEFAULT_BOARD_ID values can be overridden dynamically when calling the tools.
