Thales Jira MCP

Built with Quarkus, distributed as a JVM uber-jar or native executable (no Java required for native). Issue data is never returned as raw JSON — the server caches to .jira/ and returns short summaries (~95–99% token reduction). Includes audit logging and project-level access control.

Available tools

Issues (15): create_issue, update_issue, get_issue, delete_issue, get_issue_transitions, transition_issue, add_comment, get_issue_comments, search_issues, upload_attachment, download_attachment, delete_attachment, add_worklog, get_issue_worklogs, create_issue_link

Projects (1): get_project

Boards / Sprints (1): get_sprints

Quick setup (Claude Code)

claude mcp add --scope user \
  --env SERVICE_TOKEN=YOUR_JIRA_PAT \
  --env JIRA_ALLOWED_PROJECTS=PROJ,TEAM \
  thales-jira -- /path/to/mcp-jira-runner.exe

JIRA_ALLOWED_PROJECTS is required — restricts the server to your team’s projects and enables audit logging.

Security notes

• Token via SERVICE_TOKEN env var — never hardcode in committed config
• All tool invocations audited to ~/.mcp/jira/audit/YYYY-MM.log
• Set JIRA_RATE_LIMIT_MS if hitting rate ceiling (default: 1000ms)
