MCP Jira Integration

This project integrates Claude AI with Jira to automate and enhance project management tasks.

Features

Core Functionality

• Jira issue creation and management through MCP protocol
• API key-based authentication
• Standardized request/response format for AI interactions

Jira Integration Features

• Issue creation and updates
• Basic sprint tracking
• Project and board management
• Issue search and retrieval

Requirements

• Python 3.8 or higher
• Jira account with API token
• Valid MCP implementation

Setup

1. Clone the repository
2. Configure environment variables in .env:

   JIRA_URL=https://your-domain.atlassian.net
   JIRA_USERNAME=your.email@domain.com
   JIRA_API_TOKEN=your_api_token
   PROJECT_KEY=PROJ
   API_KEY=your_secure_api_key  # For MCP authentication

API Usage

Create Issue

from mcp_jira.protocol import MCPRequest, MCPContext

# Create request context
context = MCPContext(
    conversation_id=\"conv-123\",
    user_id=\"user-123\",
    api_key=\"your_api_key\"
)

# Create issue request
request = MCPRequest(
    function=\"create_issue\",
    parameters={
        \"summary\": \"Implement feature X\",
        \"description\": \"Detailed description\",
        \"issue_type\": \"Story\",
        \"priority\": \"High\"
    },
    context=context
)

response = await mcp_handler.process_request(request)

Search Issues

request = MCPRequest(
    function=\"search_issues\",
    parameters={
        \"jql\": \"project = PROJ AND status = 'In Progress'\"
    },
    context=context
)

response = await mcp_handler.process_request(request)

Authentication

All requests require an API key in the request header:

headers = {
    \"X-API-Key\": \"your_api_key\"
}

Integration with AI Assistants

This MCP implementation is designed to work with AI assistants that support the MCP protocol:

1. Configure the environment variables
2. Set up the MCP endpoint in your AI assistant's configuration
3. Use the standardized MCP protocol for Jira interactions
