# MCP Jira Server for Self-Hosted Jira

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for interacting with self-hosted Jira instances using Personal Access Token (PAT) authentication.

## Features

- ✅ Personal Access Token authentication for self-hosted Jira
- ✅ Create, read, update, and delete Jira issues
- ✅ Search issues using JQL (Jira Query Language)
- ✅ Add and view comments
- ✅ Manage issue assignments
- ✅ List projects and issue types
- ✅ Transition issues between statuses
- ✅ Get current user information

## Prerequisites

- Node.js 18 or higher
- A self-hosted Jira instance (e.g., https://jira.domain.com)
- A Jira Personal Access Token

## How to Create a Personal Access Token in Self-Hosted Jira

1. Log in to your Jira instance (e.g., https://jira.domain.com)
2. Click on your profile icon in the top right corner
3. Select **"Profile"** or **"Account Settings"**
4. Navigate to **"Personal Access Tokens"** or **"Security"**
5. Click **"Create token"**
6. Give your token a name (e.g., "MCP Server")
7. Set an expiration date (optional but recommended)
8. Click **"Create"**
9. **Copy the token immediately** - you won't be able to see it again!

## Installation

### Option 1: Using npm (Recommended)

**Direct usage with npx:**
```bash
npx mcp-jira-server
```

**Or install globally:**
```bash
npm install -g mcp-jira-server
```

### Option 2: From Source

1. Clone the repository:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/edrich13/mcp-jira-server.git
cd mcp-jira-server
```

2. Install dependencies:

```

3. Build the server:
```bash
npm run build
```

  "mcpServers": {
    "jira": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "mcp-jira-server"],
      "env": {
        "JIRA_BASE_URL": "https://jira.domain.com",
        "JIRA_PAT": "your-personal-access-token-here"
      }
    }
  }

```json
{
  "servers": {
    "jira": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "mcp-jira-server"],
      "env": {
        "JIRA_BASE_URL": "https://jira.domain.com",

    "jira": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/absolute/path/to/mcp-jira-server/build/index.js"],
      "env": {
        "JIRA_BASE_URL": "https://jira.domain.com",

### Quick Test Commands

1. **Test authentication:**
   ```
   Get my current Jira user information
   ```

   ```
   Search for all issues assigned to me that are not done
   ```

4. **Create an issue:**
   ```
   Create a new task in project PROJ with summary "Test MCP integration"
   ```

## Troubleshooting

### Server not connecting
- Verify the absolute path in your configuration
- Ensure the server is built (`npm run build`)
- Check that environment variables are set correctly
- Restart Claude Desktop or VS Code after configuration changes

### Authentication errors
- Verify your Personal Access Token is still valid
- Check that the token has not expired
- Ensure the token has appropriate permissions
- Verify the JIRA_BASE_URL is correct (no trailing slash)

### API errors
- Check Jira server logs for detailed error messages
- Verify the Jira API is accessible from your machine
- Ensure your user account has necessary permissions
- Try accessing the REST API directly: `https://jira.domain.com/rest/api/2/myself`

### Common issues
- **"Cannot find module"**: Run `npm install` and `npm run build`
- **"Connection refused"**: Check if Jira server is accessible and URL is correct
- **"Unauthorized"**: Verify your Personal Access Token
- **"Issue type not found"**: Use `jira_get_issue_types` to see valid types for the project
- **API requests redirect to SSO login**: Your Jira may be behind a reverse proxy (oauth2-proxy, nginx) that filters by User-Agent. Set `JIRA_USER_AGENT` environment variable to a whitelisted User-Agent string. Contact your system administrator to get the allowed User-Agent value.

## Security Best Practices

1. **Never commit your Personal Access Token** to version control
2. Store tokens securely in configuration files with restricted permissions
3. Use tokens with minimal required permissions
4. Set expiration dates for tokens
5. Rotate tokens regularly
6. Monitor token usage in Jira's audit logs

## API Reference

This MCP server uses the Jira REST API v2. For more information about Jira's API:
