Jira JQL Tool for Claude MCP Server

Provides an MCP endpoint to query Jira using JQL from Claude, enabling seamless Jira data access within conversations.

Installation

Add the following to your MCP client configuration file.

Configuration

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "amiralamox-mcp-servers": {
      "command": "[path_to_project]/.venv/bin/python",
      "args": [
        "[path_to_project]/server.py"
      ]
    }
  }
}

This MCP server lets Claude interact with Jira by sending JQL queries through the Model Control Protocol, enabling rapid data access and automated workflows without leaving your chat interface.

How to use

You connect your MCP client to the Jira JQL Tool MCP Server to run Jira queries from Claude. Start the local server, then configure Claude Desktop to launch the Python process that runs server.py. Once connected, you can issue Jira JQL queries through Claude and receive results in your chat.
