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.

    }
  }
}

Put your own value in place of <JIRA_BASE_URL> (Jira Server/Data Center URL, including any context path (e.g. https://jira.example.com/jira)). The author’s registry entry marks it as required.

Optional settings from the registry entry, left out of the block above: JIRA_USERNAME (Jira username (optional if stored in the OS keychain under JiraMCP)), JIRA_PASSWORD (Jira password (optional if stored in the OS keychain under JiraMCP)), JIRA_PROJECTS_FILTER (Comma-separated project keys the agent may access), JIRA_SSL_VERIFY (Set to false to skip TLS verification (prefer NODE_EXTRA_CA_CERTS)).

Jira Easy MCP — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Jira Easy MCP?
Jira Easy MCP 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 jira-easy-mcp was installed 113 times last week.
How do I connect Jira Easy MCP?
Copy the ready config from this page. We generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each in the form that client actually reads. It runs locally, so the command pulls jira-easy-mcp straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use Jira Easy MCP?
The npm package jira-easy-mcp was installed 113 times in the last week. Week over week that is +11%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is Jira Easy MCP open source?
Yes — it is published under the ISC licence, written in TypeScript and 4 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.
