The receipts

Vendor-hosted https://mcp.atlassian.com/v1/mcp

A remote server run by Jira itself — nothing to install. Documented at support.atlassian.com.

Connect it

Hosted by the vendor — no install, connect over HTTP with OAuth or a token.

Add it from the terminal, then restart your session:

terminal

claude mcp add --transport http jira https://mcp.atlassian.com/v1/mcp

Add --scope user to make it available in every project.

Open Settings → Connectors
Click Add custom connector
Paste https://mcp.atlassian.com/v1/mcp
Finish the sign-in prompt, then enable it in the chat's tools menu

Add to .cursor/mcp.json in your project, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json for every project:

.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "jira": {
      "url": "https://mcp.atlassian.com/v1/mcp"
    }
  }
}

A green dot in Settings → MCP means it connected.

Add to .vscode/mcp.json:

.vscode/mcp.json

{
  "servers": {
    "jira": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.atlassian.com/v1/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Then pick the server from the tools menu in Copilot's agent mode.

Enable Developer mode under Settings → Apps & Connectors → Advanced
Choose Create and paste https://mcp.atlassian.com/v1/mcp
Complete sign-in, then enable the connector in a new chat

Questions

Does Jira have an official MCP server?

Yes. Jira maintains an official MCP server, hosted at https://mcp.atlassian.com/v1/mcp.

How do I connect Jira to Claude?

Add https://mcp.atlassian.com/v1/mcp as a custom connector under Settings → Connectors in Claude Desktop or claude.ai, or run "claude mcp add --transport http jira https://mcp.atlassian.com/v1/mcp" in Claude Code.

Do I need to install anything to use the Jira MCP server?

No. It is a remote server hosted by Jira, so your MCP client connects to it over HTTP. You authenticate with the vendor rather than installing a package.
