jira-mini-mcp runs on your own machine — the client starts it, so there is no endpoint to ping. 137 installs a week from pypi. Last commit 21 Sep 2026.
Minimal Jira Cloud MCP server: broad reads, a narrow 3-tool write surface, optional read-only mode.
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).
