Configure credentials: Set environment variables specifying your JIRA API token, login email, and instance URL. Pro tip: Double-check URL formatting to avoid silent failures.
Launch the service: Run go run main.go to spin up the SSE gateway. For production setups, compile the binary using go build.
Connect clients: Direct MCP tools to https://localhost:8080/sse for real-time JIRA data streaming. Works best with SSE-compatible platforms like Postman or custom scrapers.

Content

JIRA MCP Server

The JIRA MCP Server integrates JIRA services with MCP, allowing you to fetch JIRA content through MCP for use with LLM. Please note that this is a very early version of the project.

Environment Variables Configuration

To ensure the service runs correctly, you need to configure the following environment variables:

JIRA_API_KEY=
JIRA_EMAIL=
JIRA_URL=

You can generate the JIRA_API_KEY at this link. For JIRA_EMAIL, please check your Profile. The JIRA_URL should be the current address you are using, for example: https://foobar.atlassian.net.

Running the Server

The simplest way to run the server is by using the following command:

go run main.go

Alternatively, you can compile it into a binary for any platform you prefer. Once the server is running successfully, it will start an SSE service at https://localhost:8080/sse. You can then connect to this endpoint using any MCP client that supports SSE.
