Jira MCP Server

MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for Jira integration. Allows Claude Code (or any MCP client) to interact with your Jira tasks.

Features

• ✅ Get your tasks - Fetch tasks assigned to you, filtered by project and status
• ✅ Get task details - Get detailed information about specific tasks
• ✅ Create tasks - Create new Jira tasks with description and issue type

Prerequisites

• Node.js 18+
• Jira account with API access
• Jira API token

Setup

1. Clone and Install

git clone <your-repo-url>
cd jira-mcp-server
npm install

2. Get Jira API Token

1. Go to https://id.atlassian.com/manage-profile/security/api-tokens
2. Click "Create API token"
3. Give it a name (e.g., "MCP Server")
4. Copy the token (you won't see it again!)

3. Get Your Account ID

curl -u your-email@example.com:your-api-token \
  https://cryptobplatform.atlassian.net/rest/api/3/myself | jq .accountId

Or open in browser (after logging in): https://cryptobplatform.atlassian.net/rest/api/3/myself

4. Configure Environment Variables

Create .env file (or configure in Claude Code):

cp .env.example .env
# Edit .env with your credentials

Usage with Claude Code

Configuration

Add to your Claude Code config (usually ~/.config/claude/config.json or similar):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "jira": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/absolute/path/to/jira-mcp-server/index.js"],
      "env": {
        "JIRA_BASE_URL": "https://cryptobplatform.atlassian.net",
        "JIRA_EMAIL": "andreu.slynchyk@gmail.com",
        "JIRA_API_TOKEN": "your-api-token-here",
        "JIRA_ASSIGNEE_ACCOUNT_ID": "6148ce85071141006ab17eb7"
      }
    }
  }
}

Example Prompts for Claude Code

Once configured, you can ask Claude Code:

"Show me my current tasks in ART project"
"Get details about task ART-114"
"Create a new task in ART: Fix login bug"
"What tasks are in progress?"

Available Tools

1. get_my_tasks

Get your Jira tasks filtered by project and status.

Parameters:

• projectKey (string, optional) - Project key (default: "ART")
• status (string, optional) - Task status (default: "In Progress")

Example:

{
  "projectKey": "ART",
  "status": "In Progress"
}

2. get_task_details

Get detailed information about a specific task.

Parameters:

• issueKey (string, required) - Task key (e.g., "ART-114")

Example:

{
  "issueKey": "ART-114"
}

3. create_task

Create a new Jira task.

Parameters:

• projectKey (string, required) - Project key
• summary (string, required) - Task title
• description (string, optional) - Task description
• issueType (string, optional) - Issue type: "Задача", "Баг", "История" (default: "Задача")

Example:

{
  "projectKey": "ART",
  "summary": "Fix authentication issue",
  "description": "Users cannot login with OAuth",
  "issueType": "Баг"
}

Testing Locally

You can test the server directly:

npm start

Then send a JSON-RPC request via stdin:

echo '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"tools/list"}' | node index.js

Troubleshooting

Authentication Error

Make sure your API token is correct and your email matches your Jira account.

"Task not found" Error

Check that:

1. The task key is correct (e.g., "ART-114" not "art-114")
2. You have permission to view the task
3. The project key is correct

Environment Variables Not Loading

When using with Claude Code, make sure to set environment variables in the mcpServers config, not in a .env file.
