Jira MCP Server
A simple MCP server that provides access to Jira issues from Cursor AI, allowing users to reference and query Jira tickets directly in the chat panel.
README
redhat-ai-tools/jira-mcp
For use with Cursor to provide access to Jira.
[!NOTE] This project is experimental and was initially created as a learning exercise. Be aware there are more capable and mature Jira MCP solutions available, such as sooperset/mcp-atlassian, and Atlassian's own MCP Server.
Example configuration file for Cursor (probably in ~/.cursor/mcp.json):
{
"mcpServers": {
"jira-mcp": {
"command": "/some/path/jira-mcp/server.sh",
"description": "A simple MCP server to query Jira issues"
}
}
}
