> MCP server that gives AI assistants full read/write access to your Jira Cloud instance — issues, workflows, screens, schemes, permissions, security levels, users, groups, automation rules, and audit logs. 86 tools via Jira Cloud REST API v3.

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for Jira Cloud that allows AI assistants like Claude Desktop, Claude Code, n8n, Open WebUI, Cursor, Windsurf, or any MCP-compatible client to analyze and modify your Jira Cloud configuration.

Instead of clicking through dozens of admin screens:

• *"Which projects use the default workflow scheme?"*
• *"Show me all custom fields unused in any screen"*
• *"What permission schemes grant Browse Projects to anonymous?"*
• *"Create a new issue type and add it to project X"*
• *"Disable automation rule #42 in project SOS"*

• 86 tools — read + write in a single MCP (no separate analyst/admin)
• Zero plugins — works directly with Jira Cloud REST API v3
• Rate-limit aware — automatic retry with backoff on 429 responses
• Issue CRUD — create, update, transition, assign, comment, link, delete, bulk transition
• Full scheme inspection — permission, notification, workflow, screen, field config, issue security, issue type schemes
• Security levels — read security schemes with level members
• Project roles & access — view/modify role membership
• Automation rules — list, inspect, enable, disable (native Jira automation)
• Audit log — read admin actions with date/u
