What is Jama Connect MCP Server?
The Jama Connect MCP Server is an unofficial, open-source Model Context Protocol (MCP) server designed to provide read-only access to a Jama Connect instance. It wraps the py-jama-rest-client library, enabling interactions with Jama data through MCP clients.
How to use Jama Connect MCP Server?
To use the server, clone the repository, install dependencies using uv sync, configure environment variables for Jama Connect authentication (either directly or via AWS Parameter Store), and then run the server using uv run python jama_mcp/server.py. Integrate with your MCP client by configuring it to launch the server with the appropriate command and environment variables.
