Connect your Jira Software Cloud instance to any AI agent to streamline your Agile project management. This server provides deep integration with Jira's Software-specific features like Boards, Sprints, and Epics.
What you can do
- Board Management — List all Scrum and Kanban boards, fetch their configurations, and view associated Sprints or Epics.
- Sprint Control — Create new sprints, retrieve sprint details, and update sprint states (start or complete) to keep your team moving.
- Backlog & Issues — Query board backlogs, fetch issues within specific sprints or epics, and manage issue rankings.
- Estimation Tracking — Retrieve and set story point estimations for agile issues to maintain velocity visibility.
- DevOps Integration — Submit and query development information including builds, deployments, and feature flags.
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- Provide your Jira Domain, Email, and API Token

Frequently asked questions
How do I view the backlog for a specific board?
Use the get_board_backlog tool with the target boardId. It will return all issues currently in the backlog for that Scrum or Kanban board.
Can I change a sprint's status to active or closed?
Yes, use the update_sprint tool and provide the sprintId along with the desired state ('active' or 'closed').
Is it possible to check the story point estimation for an issue?
Yes! The get_issue_estimation tool allows you to retrieve the estimation value for any specific agile issue using its ID.
How does Cline connect to MCP servers?
Cline reads MCP server configurations from its settings panel in VS Code. Add the server URL and Cline discovers all available tools on initialization.
Can Cline run MCP tools without approval?
By default, Cline asks for confirmation before executing tool calls. You can configure auto-approval rules for trusted servers in the settings.
Does Cline support multiple MCP servers at once?
Yes. Configure as many servers as needed. Cline can use tools from different servers within the same autonomous task execution.
