Today is the operative word: we check MCP Jira Server every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.

Connect this server

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.

Claude Code Claude Desktop Codex Cursor VS Code

run in your terminal

claude mcp add mcp-jira-server -- npx -y mcp-jira-server

~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {

{
  "mcpServers": {

      ],
      "command": "npx"
    }
  }

This one needs environment variables set before it will start: JIRA_BASE_URL (Base URL of your Jira instance (e.g., https://jira.domain.com)), JIRA_PAT (Your Jira Personal Access Token). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.

MCP Jira Server — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for MCP Jira Server?

MCP Jira Server 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-server was installed 348 times last week.

How do I connect MCP Jira Server?

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-server straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.

How many people use MCP Jira Server?

The npm package mcp-jira-server was installed 348 times in the last week. Week over week that is -12%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
