Jira MCP server
Short answer: Yes. Jira has an official MCP server: com.atlassian/atlassian-mcp-server, published in the official MCP Registry under the verified atlassian.com domain and hosted at https://mcp.atlassian.com/v2/mcp.
This page covers the official server for Jira and the community alternatives, the listed connection options, and what to check before using Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor. Registry entries checked in October 2026.
What can you do with the Jira MCP server?
Jira's official server is Atlassian's Rovo MCP server: one hosted connection for Jira, Confluence and Loom that searches, creates and updates work items. You sign in with your Atlassian account, and it sees only what you can see.
- Create a set of Jira work items from a spec or meeting notes, with summaries and descriptions filled in.
- Ask for every open bug assigned to you this sprint, grouped by priority.
- Update the status and add a comment on an issue after a fix ships.
Is there an official Jira MCP server?
Yes. The MCP Registry only lets a publisher use a namespace it has proved it controls, through the vendor's domain or its GitHub organisation. This entry is published under Jira's own namespace: com.atlassian/atlassian-mcp-server. 8 community servers are listed too.
What should you check before connecting Jira?
- Whether your Atlassian admin has allowed the connection; organizations can restrict which apps and API tokens are permitted.
- Some actions use Rovo credits, per Atlassian's documentation.

How do I connect the Jira MCP server to Claude?
The registry lists a hosted endpoint at https://mcp.atlassian.com/v2/mcp. Check the publisher's authentication and client requirements, then add the endpoint as a custom connector in Claude and complete any sign-in it requires.
In Claude Code, run:
claude mcp add --transport http jira https://mcp.atlassian.com/v2/mcpDoes the Jira MCP server work with ChatGPT?
A hosted endpoint is available at https://mcp.atlassian.com/v2/mcp. ChatGPT needs a compatible remote transport and authentication flow, and your account or workspace must allow custom MCP connections. Confirm those requirements with the publisher before connecting.
How do I add it to Cursor?
Start with this remote endpoint in .cursor/mcp.json in your project, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json for every project. Add any authentication fields required by the publisher:
{
"mcpServers": {
"jira": {
"url": "https://mcp.atlassian.com/v2/mcp"
}
}
}
