What is MCP JIRA Python?
MCP JIRA Python is a server that provides JIRA integration tools to AI applications via the MCP protocol. It allows AI, such as Claude, to interact with JIRA instances securely and locally.
How to use MCP JIRA Python?
The server needs to be installed and configured alongside the AI application (e.g., Claude Desktop). Configuration involves updating the AI application's configuration file (e.g., claude_desktop_config.json) with the server's command, arguments, and JIRA environment variables (host, email, API token). Once configured, the AI can be instructed to perform JIRA tasks using the available tools.
