This server runs on your own machine — install it with the package manager and the client starts it for you. Package name taken from the official registry entry.

Defaults to read:jira-work), JIRA_CLOUD_ID (Atlassian Cloud ID (auto-fetched if not set). Find at https://yoursite.atlassian.net/_edge/tenant_info). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.

MCP Jira Scoped — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for MCP Jira Scoped?
MCP Jira Scoped runs on your own machine over stdio — there is no network address to reach, so uptime cannot be measured for it by anyone. What can be measured is adoption: the npm package mcp-jira-scoped was installed 64 times last week.
How do I connect MCP Jira Scoped?
Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It runs locally, so the command pulls mcp-jira-scoped straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use MCP Jira Scoped?
The npm package mcp-jira-scoped was installed 64 times in the last week. Week over week that is -3%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is MCP Jira Scoped open source?
Yes — it is published under the Apache-2.0 licence, written in TypeScript and 3 stars on GitHub. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
