get_issue
Fetch detailed information about a specific Jira issue
Pull a Jira issue, your assigned tickets, or every Bug in a project into the editor and work from there.
LABSCO SUMMARY
This is not about browsing Jira; it is about closing the gap between the ticket and the change. Pull the issue, or every Bug in the project, and the original description sits in the same session as the code, so "fix PROJECT-123" has the requirement in front of it rather than someone's retyped summary. Every documented tool is a read — nothing here moves a ticket or writes a comment.
A Jira reader for Cursor and other MCP clients. It fetches one issue by key, the issues assigned to you, and issues filtered by type — so the ticket text lands where the code is.
Node.js 20.17.0 or higher, a Jira account with API access, and an API token generated from Atlassian. Put JIRA_BASE_URL, JIRA_USERNAME and JIRA_API_TOKEN in .env, run npm run build, then start it. It runs as an HTTP server — clients connect to http://localhost:3000/sse by default, and HTTP_PORT moves it — with a CLI mode available as well.
Build from source — git clone https://github.com/rahulthedevil/Jira-Context-MCP.git
