Install jira in your MCP client

jira is a Model Context Protocol server. Add it to your MCP client config once, restart, and the server's tools become available to your AI assistant. The same JSON snippet below works across all four major clients — only the config file path differs.

  1. Locate your client's MCP config file.
    • Cursor: ~/.cursor/mcp.json
    • Claude Desktop (macOS): ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
    • Claude Desktop (Windows): %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json
    • VS Code: Settings → Extensions → MCP
    • Windsurf: Settings → MCP Servers
  2. Add jira to the mcpServers map — paste the snippet below into your config file. If you already have other MCP servers, merge the entry into the existing mcpServers object.
  3. Restart your client so it picks up the new server.
  4. Verify — ask the assistant to list available tools; jira's tools should appear.
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "jira": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@atlassian-dc-mcp/jira"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Install jira in Cursor

Open ~/.cursor/mcp.json in your editor, paste the snippet above into mcpServers, save, and restart Cursor. jira will show up in the assistant's tool list on next launch.

Install jira in Claude Desktop (macOS)

Open ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json in your editor, paste the snippet above into mcpServers, save, and restart Claude Desktop (macOS). jira will show up in the assistant's tool list on next launch.

Install jira in Claude Desktop (Windows)

Open %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json in your editor, paste the snippet above into mcpServers, save, and restart Claude Desktop (Windows). jira will show up in the assistant's tool list on next launch.

Install jira in VS Code

Open Settings → Extensions → MCP in your editor, paste the snippet above into mcpServers, save, and restart VS Code. jira will show up in the assistant's tool list on next launch.

npm package: @atlassian-dc-mcp/jira

Transport

jira supports the following MCP transports. Most AI clients use stdio by default for locally-installed servers.

# Atlassian Jira Data Center MCP This package provides a Machine Comprehension Protocol (MCP) server for interacting with Atlassian Jira Data Center edition. ## Claude Desktop Configuration To use this MCP connector with Claude Desktop, add the following to your Claude Desktop configuration: macOS: ``` ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json ``` Windows: ``` %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json ``` ```json { "mcpServers": { "atlassian-jira-dc": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@atlassian-dc-mcp/jira"], "env": { "JIRA_HOST": "your-jira-host", "JIRA_API_TOKEN": "your-token" } } } } ``` To reuse one shared dotenv file across multiple tools or MCP hosts, point the server at an absolute file path: ```j…
