Empower your AI agents with Jira Cloud's powerful project management platform. This MCP server allows you to list and retrieve project details, search for issues using JQL, track priorities and statuses, and view dashboards directly through the Jira Cloud API. Ideal for automating software development workflows and team collaboration.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How do I get Jira API credentials?

You need your Jira instance domain (e.g., acme.atlassian.net), your account email, and an API Token. You can generate an API Token in your Atlassian Account Settings under Security > API Token.

What is JQL?

JQL (Jira Query Language) is a powerful tool that allows you to search for issues in Jira using a structured query syntax.

Can I see private projects?

Your AI agent will only be able to see projects and issues that your Atlassian account has permission to access.

What is Agent mode and why does it matter for MCP?

Agent mode is Cursor's autonomous execution mode where the AI can perform multi-step tasks: reading files, editing code, running terminal commands, and calling MCP tools. Without Agent mode, Cursor operates in a simpler ask-and-answer mode that doesn't support tool calling. Always ensure you're in Agent mode when working with MCP servers.

Where does Cursor store MCP configuration?

Cursor looks for MCP server configurations in a mcp.json file. You can configure servers at the project level (.cursor/mcp.json in your project root) or globally (~/.cursor/mcp.json). Project-level configs take precedence.

Can Cursor use MCP tools in inline edits?

No. MCP tools are only available in Agent mode through the chat panel. Inline completions and Tab suggestions do not trigger MCP tool calls. This is by design. tool calls require user visibility and approval.

How do I verify MCP tools are loaded?

Open Settings → Features → MCP and look for your server name. A green indicator means the server is connected. You can also check Agent mode's available tools by clicking the tools dropdown in the chat panel.
