- **Get issue insights**: "Show me details about PROJ-123 including comments"
- **Track project progress**: "List all high priority issues assigned to me"
- **Manage issue comments**: "Add a comment to PROJ-456 about the test results"
- **Search across projects**: "Find all bugs in progress across my projects"
- **Create and update issues**: "Create a new bug in the MOBILE project"
## Perfect For
- **Developers** who need quick access to issue details and development context
- **Project Managers** tracking progress, priorities, and team assignments
- **Scrum Masters** managing sprints and workflow states
- **Team Leads** monitoring project health and issue resolution
- **QA Engineers** tracking bugs and testing status
- **Anyone** who wants to interact with Jira using natural language
## Quick Start
Get up and running in 2 minutes:
### 1. Get Your Jira Credentials
Generate a Jira API Token:
1. Go to [Atlassian API Tokens](https://id.atlassian.com/manage-profile/security/api-tokens)
2. Click **Create API token**
3. Give it a name like **"AI Assistant"**
4. **Copy the generated token** immediately (you won't see it again!)
### 2. Try It Instantly
```bash
# Set your credentials
export ATLASSIAN_SITE_NAME="your-company" # for your-company.atlassian.net
export ATLASSIAN_USER_EMAIL="your.email@company.com"
export ATLASSIAN_API_TOKEN="your_api_token"
# List your Jira projects
npx -y @aashari/mcp-server-atlassian-jira get --path "/rest/api/3/project/search"
# Get details about a specific project
npx -y @aashari/mcp-server-atlassian-jira get --path "/rest/api/3/project/DEV"
# Get an issue with JMESPath filtering
npx -y @aashari/mcp-server-atlassian-jira get --path "/rest/api/3/issue/PROJ-123" --jq "{key: key, summary: fields.summary, status: fields.status.name}"
```
## Connect to AI Assistants
### For Claude Desktop Users
Add this to your Claude configuration file (`~/.claude/claude_desktop_config.json`):
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"jira": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@aashari/mcp-server-atlassian-jira"],
"env": {
"ATLASSIAN_SITE_NAME": "your-company",
"ATLASSIAN_USER_EMAIL": "your.email@company.com",
"ATLASSIAN_API_TOKEN": "your_api_token"
}
}
}
}
```
Restart Claude Desktop, and you'll see the jira server in the status bar.
### For Other AI Assistants
Most AI assistants support MCP. Install the server globally:
```bash
npm install -g @aashari/mcp-server-atlassian-jira
```
Then configure your AI assistant to use the MCP server with STDIO transport.
### Alternative: Configuration File
Create `~/.mcp/configs.json` for system-wide configuration:
```json
{
"jira": {
"environments": {
"ATLASSIAN_SITE_NAME": "your-company",
"ATLASSIAN_USER_EMAIL": "your.email@company.com",
"ATLASSIAN_API_TOKEN": "your_api_token"
}
}
}
```
**Alternative config keys:** The system also accepts `"atlassian-jira"`, `"@aashari/mcp-server-atlassian-jira"`, or `"mcp-server-atlassian-jira"` instead of `"jira"`.
## Available Tools
This MCP server provides 5 generic tools that can access any Jira API endpoint:
| Tool | Description |
|------|-------------|
| `jira_get` | GET any Jira API endpoint (read data) |
| `jira_post` | POST to any endpoint (create resources) |
| `jira_put` | PUT to any endpoint (replace resources) |
| `jira_patch` | PATCH any endpoint (partial updates) |
| `jira_delete` | DELETE any endpoint (remove resources) |
### Common API Paths
**Projects:**
- `/rest/api/3/project/search` - List all projects (paginated, recommended)
- `/rest/api/3/project` - List all projects (non-paginated, legacy)
- `/rest/api/3/project/{projectKeyOrId}` - Get project details
**Issues:**
- `/rest/api/3/search/jql` - Search issues with JQL (use `jql` query param). **IMPORTANT:** `/rest/api/3/search` is deprecated!
- `/rest/api/3/issue/{issueIdOrKey}` - Get issue details
- `/rest/api/3/issue` - Create issue (POST)
- `/rest/api/3/issue/{issueIdOrKey}/transitions` - Get/perform transitions
**Comments:**
- `/rest/api/3/issue/{issueIdOrKey}/comment` - List/add comments
- `/rest/api/3/issue/{issueIdOrKey}/comment/{commentId}` - Get/update/delete comment
**Worklogs:**
- `/rest/api/3/issue/{issueIdOrKey}/worklog` - List/add worklogs
- `/rest/api/3/issue/{issueIdOrKey}/worklog/{worklogId}` - Get/update/delete worklog
**Users & Statuses:**
- `/rest/api/3/myself` - Get current user
- `/rest/api/3/user/search` - Search users (use `query` param)
- `/rest/api/3/status` - List all statuses
- `/rest/api/3/issuetype` - List issue types
- `/rest/api/3/priority` - List priorities
### TOON Output Format
By default, all responses use **TOON (Token-Oriented Object Notation)** format, which reduces token usage by 30-60% compared to JSON. TOON uses tabular arrays and minimal syntax, making it ideal for AI consumption.
**To use JSON instead:** Add `--output-format json` to CLI commands or set `outputFormat: "json"` in MCP tool calls.
**Example TOON vs JSON:**
```
TOON: key|summary|status
PROJ-1|First issue|Open
PROJ-2|Second issue|Done
JSON: [{"key":"PROJ-1","summary":"First issue","status":"Open"},
{"key":"PROJ-2","summary":"Second issue","status":"Done"}]
```
### JMESPath Filtering
All tools support optional JMESPath (`jq`) filtering to extract specific data:
```bash
# Get just project names and keys
npx -y @aashari/mcp-server-atlassian-jira get \
--path "/rest/api/3/project/search" \
--jq "values[].{key: key, name: name}"
# Get issue key and summary
npx -y @aashari/mcp-server-atlassian-jira get \
--path "/rest/api/3/issue/PROJ-123" \
--jq "{key: key, summary: fields.summary, status: fields.status.name}"
```
### Response Truncation and Raw Logs
For large API responses (>40k characters ≈ 10k tokens), responses are automatically truncated with guidance. The complete raw response is saved to `/tmp/mcp/mcp-server-atlassian-jira/<timestamp>-<random>.txt` for reference.
**When truncated, you'll see:**
- A truncation notice with the raw file path
- Suggestions to refine your query with better filters
- Percentage of data shown vs total size
## Real-World Examples
### Explore Your Projects
Ask your AI assistant:
- *"List all projects I have access to"*
- *"Show me details about the DEV project"*
- *"What projects contain the word 'Platform'?"*
### Search and Track Issues
Ask your AI assistant:
- *"Find all high priority issues in the DEV project"*
- *"Show me issues assigned to me that are in progress"*
- *"Search for bugs reported in the last week"*
- *"List all open issues for the mobile team"*
### Manage Issue Details
Ask your AI assistant:
- *"Get full details about issue PROJ-456 including comments"*
- *"What's the current status and assignee of PROJ-123?"*
- *"Display all comments on the authentication bug"*
### Issue Communication
Ask your AI assistant:
- *"Add a comment to PROJ-456: 'Code review completed, ready for testing'"*
- *"Comment on the login issue that it's been deployed to staging"*
## CLI Commands
The CLI mirrors the MCP tools for direct terminal access:
```bash
# GET request (returns TOON format by default)
npx -y @aashari/mcp-server-atlassian-jira get --path "/rest/api/3/project/search"
# GET with query parameters and JSON output
npx -y @aashari/mcp-server-atlassian-jira get \
--path "/rest/api/3/search/jql" \
--query-params '{"jql": "project=DEV AND status=\"In Progress\"", "maxResults": "10"}' \
--output-format json
# GET with JMESPath filtering to extract specific fields
npx -y @aashari/mcp-server-atlassian-jira get \
--path "/rest/api/3/issue/PROJ-123" \
--jq "{key: key, summary: fields.summary, status: fields.status.name}"
# POST request (create an issue)
npx -y @aashari/mcp-server-atlassian-jira post \
--path "/rest/api/3/issue" \
--body '{"fields": {"project": {"key": "DEV"}, "summary": "New issue title", "issuetype": {"name": "Task"}}}'
# POST request (add a comment)
npx -y @aashari/mcp-server-atlassian-jira post \
--path "/rest/api/3/issue/PROJ-123/comment" \
--body '{"body": {"type": "doc", "version": 1, "content": [{"type": "paragraph", "content": [{"type": "text", "text": "My comment"}]}]}}'
# PUT request (update issue - full replacement)
npx -y @aashari/mcp-server-atlassian-jira put \
--path "/rest/api/3/issue/PROJ-123" \
--body '{"fields": {"summary": "Updated title"}}'
# PATCH request (partial update)
npx -y @aashari/mcp-server-atlassian-jira patch \
--path "/rest/api/3/issue/PROJ-123" \
--body '{"fields": {"summary": "Updated title"}}'
# DELETE request
npx -y @aashari/mcp-server-atlassian-jira delete \
--path "/rest/api/3/issue/PROJ-123/comment/12345"
```
**Note:** All CLI commands support:
- `--output-format` - Choose between `toon` (default, token-efficient) or `json`
- `--jq` - Filter response with JMESPath expressions
- `--query-params` - Pass query parameters as JSON string
## Troubleshooting
### "Authentication failed" or "403 Forbidden"
1. **Check your API Token permissions**:
- Go to [Atlassian API Tokens](https://id.atlassian.com/manage-profile/security/api-tokens)
- Make sure your token is still active and hasn't expired
2. **Verify your site name format**:
- If your Jira URL is `https://mycompany.atlassian.net`
- Your site name should be just `mycompany`
3. **Test your credentials**:
```bash
npx -y @aashari/mcp-server-atlassian-jira get --path "/rest/api/3/myself"
```
### "Resource not found" or "404"
1. **Check the API path**:
- Paths are case-sensitive
- Use project keys (e.g., `DEV`) not project names
- Issue keys include the project prefix (e.g., `DEV-123`)
2. **Verify access permissions**:
- Make sure you have access to the project in your browser
- Some projects may be restricted to certain users
### "No results found" when searching
1. **Try different search terms**:
- Use project keys instead of project names
- Try broader search criteria
2. **Check JQL syntax**:
- Validate your JQL in Jira's advanced search first
### Claude Desktop Integration Issues
1. **Restart Claude Desktop** after updating the config file
2. **Verify config file location**:
- macOS: `~/.claude/claude_desktop_config.json`
- Windows: `%APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json`

### Architecture
This server follows the 5-layer MCP architecture:
1. **CLI Layer** - Human interface using Commander.js
2. **Tools Layer** - AI interface with Zod validation
3. **Controllers Layer** - Business logic and orchestration
4. **Services Layer** - Direct Jira REST API calls
5. **Utils Layer** - Cross-cutting concerns (logging, formatting, transport)
### Debugging
Enable debug logging by setting the `DEBUG` environment variable:
```bash
# In Claude Desktop config
{
"mcpServers": {
"jira": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@aashari/mcp-server-atlassian-jira"],
"env": {
"DEBUG": "true",
"ATLASSIAN_SITE_NAME": "your-company",
"ATLASSIAN_USER_EMAIL": "your.email@company.com",
"ATLASSIAN_API_TOKEN": "your_api_token"
}
}
}
}
```
Debug logs are written to `~/.mcp/data/mcp-server-atlassian-jira.<session-id>.log`
**Check raw API responses:** When responses are truncated, the full raw response is saved to `/tmp/mcp/mcp-server-atlassian-jira/<timestamp>-<random>.txt` with request/response details.
## Migration from v2.x
Version 3.0 replaces 8+ specific tools with 5 generic HTTP method tools. If you're upgrading from v2.x:

```
jira_ls_projects, jira_get_project, jira_ls_issues, jira_get_issue,
jira_create_issue, jira_ls_comments, jira_add_comment, jira_ls_statuses, ...
```
**After (v3.0+):**
```
jira_get, jira_post, jira_put, jira_patch, jira_delete
```
**Migration examples:**
- `jira_ls_projects` -> `jira_get` with path `/rest/api/3/project/search`
- `jira_get_project` -> `jira_get` with path `/rest/api/3/project/{key}`
- `jira_get_issue` -> `jira_get` with path `/rest/api/3/issue/{key}`
- `jira_create_issue` -> `jira_post` with path `/rest/api/3/issue`
- `jira_add_comment` -> `jira_post` with path `/rest/api/3/issue/{key}/comment`
- `jira_ls_statuses` -> `jira_get` with path `/rest/api/3/status`
**Benefits of v3.0+:**
- Full access to any Jira REST API v3 endpoint (not just predefined tools)
- JMESPath filtering for efficient data extraction
- Consistent interface across all HTTP methods
- TOON format for 30-60% token savings
