Nothing serious here today

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

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> (Your Jira Cloud site, e.g. https://example.atlassian.net). The author’s registry entry marks it as required.

Optional settings from the registry entry, left out of the block above: JIRA_AUTH_METHOD (api_token (default) or oauth; oauth needs an OAuth 2.0 (3LO) app and a one-time `jira-mini-mcp login`), JIRA_EMAIL (The email your Jira API token belongs to (JIRA_AUTH_METHOD=api_token)), JIRA_API_TOKEN (A Jira Cloud API token (JIRA_AUTH_METHOD=api_token)), JIRA_OAUTH_CLIENT_ID (Client ID of your OAuth 2.0 (3LO) app (JIRA_AUTH_METHOD=oauth)), JIRA_OAUTH_CLIENT_SECRET (Secret of your OAuth 2.0 (3LO) app (JIRA_AUTH_METHOD=oauth)), READ_ONLY_MODE (Set to true, 1, or on to register only the six read tools and withhold the three write tools), STRUCTURED_OUTPUT (Set to true, 1, or on to also send structuredContent and an outputSchema; by default each result is sent once, in content), DISABLE_STRUCTURED_OUTPUT (With STRUCTURED_OUTPUT=true, comma-separated tool names that still return content only, without structuredContent).

jira-mini-mcp — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for jira-mini-mcp?
jira-mini-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 pypi package jira-mini-mcp was installed 137 times last week.
How do I connect jira-mini-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-mini-mcp straight from pypi; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use jira-mini-mcp?
The pypi package jira-mini-mcp was installed 137 times in the last week. Week over week that is -28%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is jira-mini-mcp open source?
Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in Python and 1 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.
