## Description
Read jira data via JQL and api and execute requests to create and edit tickets.

## Claude Desktop Quick Installation
Heuristic fallback — verify the package name and runner against the repository README before running it. Uses `npx` (confidence: low):

```json
"mcpServers": {
  "jira-mcp-server": {
    "command": "npx",
    "args": ["-y","ks-gen-ai-jira-mcp-server"],
    "env": {
      "JIRA_URL": "",
      "JIRA_API_MAIL": "",
      "JIRA_API_KEY": ""
    }
  }
}
```

**Requires environment variables:** `JIRA_URL`, `JIRA_API_MAIL`, `JIRA_API_KEY` — the values above are empty placeholders; fill in real credentials before running (see the repository for what each one is for).

## Development

Install dependencies:

```bash
npm install
```

Build the server:

```bash
npm run build
```

For development with auto-rebuild:

```bash
npm run watch
```

## Installation

To use with Claude Desktop, add the server config:

On MacOS: `~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json`
On Windows: `%APPDATA%/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json`

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "Jira communication server": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/PATH_TO_THE_PROJECT/build/index.js"],
      "env": {
        "JIRA_URL": "https://XXXXXXXX.atlassian.net",
        "JIRA_API_MAIL": "Your email",
        "JIRA_API_KEY": "KEY_FROM : https://id.atlassian.com/manage-profile/security/api-tokens"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

### Debugging

Since MCP servers communicate over stdio, debugging can be challenging. We recommend using the [MCP Inspector](https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/inspector), which is available as a package script:

```bash
npm run inspector
```

The Inspector will provide a URL to access debugging tools in your browser.
