jira-github-mcp

A modular and extensible Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for Jira and GitHub integration, enabling end-to-end automation of developer workflows - from issue tracking to code changes and pull request management - via AI agents inside the IDE.

• Jira integration: fetch issues by filters, search via JQL, and transition issues across workflows
• GitHub integration: create branches, open and merge PRs
• Local Git operations: stage, commit, and push changes locally
• IDE-native: works with any MCP-compatible agent (e.g., GitHub Copilot) over stdio
• End-to-end workflow: Jira issue → branch → code → commit → PR → merge → Jira status update

Developers constantly context-switch between Jira, GitHub, and their IDE, breaking focus and slowing down delivery. This project transforms that workflow into a seamless, IDE-native, conversational experience, allowing developers to move from Jira issue to merged pull request using natural language and AI-assisted automation.

• Retrieve, filter, and search Jira issues using fields and JQL
• Transition Jira issues across workflow statuses
• Automate branch creation as part of the Jira-driven workflow
• Commit and push changes from the local Git repository
• Create and merge GitHub pull requests
• MCP resources providing workflow guidance and current issue context
