Project Context Overview

Project Context MCP server gives agents a provider-neutral interface for repository-scoped issue work across Linear, GitHub Issues, GitHub Projects v2, and Jira Cloud. It resolves the current Git repository, selects its configured provider, verifies the authenticated account, and exposes an eleven-tool stdio interface. Writes require a preview followed by a single-attempt apply step, with host-local mappings and credentials kept outside repositories. Reach for it when agents need guarded issue reads and mutations tied to specific repositories.

Primary Use Cases for Project Context:
  • Route issue operations to the provider configured for a repository
  • Preview and apply guarded issue changes
  • Read issues, users, comments, and provider options
  • Generate MCP client configuration for supported clients
