About mcp-server-atlassian-jira
aashari/mcp-server-atlassian-jira
Node.js/TypeScript MCP server for Atlassian Jira. Equips AI systems (LLMs) with tools to list/get projects, search/get issues (using JQL/ID), and view dev info (commits, PRs). Connects AI capabilities directly into Jira project management and issue tracking workflows.
This tool connects your AI assistant (like Claude or Cursor AI) directly to your Jira projects. You can ask your AI assistant natural language questions about your projects, issues, comments, and development progress. It takes your verbal or typed queries as input and provides specific Jira data, insights, or even performs actions like adding comments or creating issues.
