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 as a local process. You can also run both side by side in one mcpServers block.
