MCP Jira Scoped runs on your own machine — the client starts it, so there is no endpoint to ping. 64 installs a week from npm. Last commit 1 Apr 2026.
Jira MCP server with scoped API tokens via api.atlassian.com gateway
Today is the operative word: we check MCP Jira Scoped every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.
