Frequently asked questions

What is the Jira MCP server?

The Jira MCP server is an Developer Tools Model Context Protocol server that lets Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, VS Code with Copilot, and other MCP-compatible AI agents manage projects, issues, and workflows. It exposes Jira's capabilities as tools the AI can call directly from your editor or CLI.

How do I install Jira MCP with Claude Code?

The fastest way is the MCPizy CLI: run `mcpizy install jira` and MCPizy will add the server to your `.claude.json` automatically. You can also install it manually by adding an entry under `mcpServers` in `.claude.json` with the command `npx -y jira-mcp` and restarting Claude Code.

Is Jira MCP free?

Yes. The Jira MCP server is free and open source. You may still need a Jira account or API key to connect the server to the underlying service, but the MCP layer itself has no MCPizy subscription cost.

Does Jira MCP work with Cursor and Windsurf?

Yes. Any MCP-compatible client works — including Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor (via `.cursor/mcp.json`), Windsurf, VS Code with Copilot Chat, and custom agents built on the MCP SDK. The same install command targets all of them; only the config file path differs.
