nguyenvanduocit/jira-mcp

An opinionated Jira MCP server built from years of real-world software development experience.
Unlike generic Jira integrations, this MCP is crafted from the daily workflows of engineers and automation QC teams. You'll find sophisticated tools designed for actual development needs—like retrieving all pull requests linked to an issue, managing complex sprint transitions, or tracking development information across your entire workflow.
This isn't just another API wrapper. It's a reflection of how professionals actually use Jira: managing sprints, tracking development work, coordinating releases, and maintaining visibility across teams. Every tool is designed to solve real problems that arise in modern software development.
