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.

run in your terminal
claude mcp add mcp-jira-stdio -- npx -y mcp-jira-stdio
~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp-jira-stdio": {
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "mcp-jira-stdio"
      ],
      "command": "npx"
    }
  }
}
~/.codex/config.toml
[mcp_servers.mcp-jira-stdio]
command = "npx"
args = ["-y", "mcp-jira-stdio"]
.cursor/mcp.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp-jira-stdio": {
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "mcp-jira-stdio"
      ],
      "command": "npx"
    }
  }
}
.vscode/mcp.json

  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp-jira-stdio": {
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "mcp-jira-stdio"
      ],
      "command": "npx"
    }
  }
}

This one needs environment variables set before it will start: JIRA_BASE_URL (Jira instance URL, e.g. https://company.atlassian.net), JIRA_EMAIL (Email of the Jira account the API token belongs to), JIRA_API_TOKEN (Jira API token (id.atlassian.com > Security > API tokens)), MCP_REDACT_SENSITIVE (Set to true to redact sensitive values from logs), LOG_LEVEL (Log verbosity: debug, info, warn or error (default: info)). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.

MCP Jira Stdio — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for MCP Jira Stdio?
MCP Jira Stdio 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-stdio was installed 632 times last week.
How do I connect MCP Jira Stdio?
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-stdio straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use MCP Jira Stdio?
The npm package mcp-jira-stdio was installed 632 times in the last week. Week over week that is +164%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is MCP Jira Stdio open source?
Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in TypeScript and 14 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.
