9 TOOLS AVAILABLE
OUR ASSESSMENT
- 87 GitHub stars and MIT licence.
- 11 commits on main in the last 30 days.
- Tool surface covers the Jira workflow end-to-end: issues, sprints, transitions, comments, worklogs, history, relationships, versions, development info.
- Go binary distribution: single-file deploy.
- JQL search support for advanced filtering.
- CLI usage documented for headless agent setups.
- Single-maintainer governance.
- Atlassian API tokens carry scoped access; the operator scopes per Atlassian admin policy.
- Jira-only; Confluence and Bitbucket need separate MCPs.
- 87 stars; adoption signal is early.
Atlassian API tokens (created via id.atlassian.com) grant access to the user account they belong to. Use a dedicated agent service account with scoped project permissions. The MCP forwards all calls to the configured Jira endpoint; for self-hosted Jira (Data Center), scope the network path to the agent host.
Atlassian Jira customers who want agents to triage issues, manage sprints, transition workflow states, and inspect change history from inside the editor; workflows that benefit from JQL search inside agent prompts; teams that want a Go binary deploy over Node or Python runtimes.

SOURCES & VERIFICATION
We don't take any single directory's word for it. Before scoring, we cross-reference 4 public MCP sources, install the server ourselves against the clients we cover, and record when we last re-verified.
The same server, 4 different lenses. We reconcile these signals into our editorial score, which is why our number sometimes diverges from a directory-aggregate star count.
