The Jira MCP Server acts as an intermediary layer between Jira and MCP-enabled tools, providing a set of APIs and communication channels for issue management, user synchronization, and status updates. Built with Kotlin and Ktor, it supports scalable and efficient REST API interactions and websocket connections in both SSE and stdio modes. Its functionalities include issue querying, updating, transitioning, user searching, and assignment, enabling automation, integration, and real-time collaboration within Jira environments. It simplifies connecting Jira data with external systems, enhances workflow automation, and facilitates better project management through MCP-compliant interactions.
