A side-by-side look at the Site and Jira MCP MCP servers: transport, auth, tools, quality signals, and the config to install either one in Claude, Cursor, Windsurf or VS Code.
Verdict: choose Site for support & service management work; choose Jira MCP for support & service management over a hosted endpoint. You can also run both side by side in one mcpServers block.
ATLASSIAN_HOST, ATLASSIAN_EMAIL, ATLASSIAN_TOKEN, ENABLED_TOOLS.jira_get_issue, jira_create_issue, jira_create_child_issue.Rows where the two servers differ are marked.
