Jira

Connect AI agents to Jira for project tracking and issue management

Prerequisites Before you begin, create an account and get your API Key.

Getting started

Connect to Jira to manage issues, projects, sprints, and automate development workflows through AI agents.

API

1. Install the SDKs (optional)

   pip

   pip install klavis
   
2. Create a Strata MCP Server with Jira

   Python

   from klavis import Klavis
   from klavis.types import McpServerName
   
   klavis_client = Klavis(api_key="YOUR_API_KEY")
   
   response = klavis_client.mcp_server.create_strata_server(
       servers=[McpServerName.JIRA],
       user_id="user123"
   )
   

   userId specifies whose connected accounts and data you are accessing in Klavis. It should be a unique id for yourself, your team, or your organization.

3. Authenticate

   Python

   import webbrowser
   
   # Open OAuth authorization page
   webbrowser.open(response.oauth_urls[McpServerName.JIRA])
   

   🎉 Your Jira MCP Server is ready! Once authentication is complete, you can use your MCP server URL with any MCP-compatible client.

UI

1. Open Dashboard

   Go to your Dashboard.

2. Choose Jira

   Select Jira from the list of available integrations.

3. Authenticate

   Complete the OAuth flow to connect your Jira account.

4. Use in your app

   Copy the MCP endpoint URL and add it to your MCP-supported client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code, etc.).

Open Source

1. Clone repository (for developers to build from source)

   git clone https://github.com/klavis-ai/klavis
   cd klavis/mcp_servers/jira
   
2. Run with Docker

   # Pull the Docker image
   docker pull ghcr.io/klavis-ai/jira-mcp-server:latest
   
   # Run with OAuth support (requires Klavis API key)
   docker run -p 5000:5000 \
     -e KLAVIS_API_KEY=$KLAVIS_API_KEY \
     ghcr.io/klavis-ai/jira-mcp-server:latest
   
3. Configure MCP client

   {
     "mcpServers": {
       "jira": {
         "url": "http://localhost:5000/mcp/"
       }
     }
   }
