20 Best Jira MCP Servers, Compared (September 2026)

Updated 20 of 513 Jira servers in the Glama registryRebuilt weekly

The short answer

Reach for MCP Atlassian (sooperset/mcp-atlassian) if you are on Atlassian Cloud. It is a community favourite, with 5,813 stars, 155 commits in the last 12 weeks, and a commit 2 days ago, and its stated purpose is JQL search, issue creation, updates, and status transitions. If your job is Tempo time tracking instead, Tempo MCP Server is the better answer because it exposes seven tools for retrieving, creating, editing, deleting and bulk-logging time.

Whichever you choose, give it the narrowest access that still works (a read-only credential, a replica, a scratch account), and widen it only once you have watched what your agent actually asks for.

Glama operates the MCP registry these numbers are measured from, and sells MCP hosting and a gateway. No position on this page is paid for. How the registry is built.

The ranking, with the evidence

Each position is a weighted mean of adoption (40%), maintenance (24%), momentum (14%), tool description quality (13%) and trust (9%), multiplied by three attenuators: how directly the server is about Jira (named for it, declaring it, tagged with it, or merely mentioning it), whether its repository is still moving, and how much independent evidence of adoption it has. Open the score on any entry to see every number, including the ones marked ≈, which were imputed from the median of the other candidates rather than measured. The maintenance grade on each entry is mostly issue responsiveness, release recency and open security alerts rather than commits, so a recent commit beside a low grade is two different measurements rather than a contradiction.

  • Abandoned but popular: People use it, but its default branch has stopped moving. Fine to keep running, risky to adopt.
  • Community favourite: Widely adopted and still actively maintained.
  • Dormant: Neither changing nor widely adopted. Here because it still matches the search.
  • Emerging: Small audience, growing quickly, maintained. The bet with the most upside.
  • Steady: Maintained, modest audience, no surprises in either direction.

    sooperset/mcp-atlassian ↗

    Best for: Jira teams on Atlassian Cloud that need an MCP server for JQL search, issue creation, updates, and status transitions.

    It is an MCP server for Atlassian Jira and Confluence whose README documents tools for JQL search, issue retrieval, creation, updates, transitions, and Confluence search, pages, and comments. The project's own description says Cloud only, while the README claims Server/Data Center support, so confirm the deployment type before choosing it.

    Atlassian Data Center MCP

    SteadyNo change
    b1ff/atlassian-dc-mcp ↗

    Best for: Atlassian Data Center teams needing MCP for Jira, Confluence, or Bitbucket: the setup validates credentials and stores them securely per product.

    The README documents a community-maintained MCP server for Atlassian Data Center products, with per-product setup commands that validate host and token against the selected product before saving credentials. The one thing worth knowing before choosing it: no npm package is published, while the README's quick setup depends on npx commands.

    jira-mcp

    SteadyNo change
    softspark/jira-mcp ↗

    Best for: Bulk monthly task creation across multiple Jira projects: it supports multi-instance routing and workflow status transitions in configured order.

    The server's documented tools sync tasks to a local cache, update status by stepping through workflow transitions, convert markdown fields and comments to ADF, and log time entries. It requires an Atlassian API token and local configuration initialized with jira-mcp config init, set-credentials, and add-project before use.

    Jira MCP Server

    DormantNo change
    George5562/Jira-MCP-Server ↗

    Best for: Jira teams using Claude Desktop who want to delegate project-management chores: it documents issue, subtask, link, and workflow operations over MCP.

    The server connects Jira to MCP clients and its README documents tools for user lookup, issue types, link types, and issue creation, updates, deletion, and linking. Before choosing it, note that the server has not been inspected, so its actual tool list is unknown and README operations should be verified.

    OpenTabs

    Community favourite▲ 1
    opentabs-dev/opentabs ↗

    Best for: Jira users logged into Chrome: its plugin for Jira calls web APIs through the authenticated browser session, no API keys.

    OpenTabs is a local MCP server paired with a Chrome extension; its exposed tools cover browser actions and network inspection, and its plugin system supports services including Jira through the user's logged-in session. The requirement to weigh before installing: Node.js 22+, Chrome, a manually loaded extension, and per-tool enablement, since every tool starts disabled.

    thamaraiselvam/mcp-jira-confluence ↗

    The server exposes Confluence search, page read/create/update, comment, version, and permission tools, along with Jira search, create, update, and comment operations. The notable constraint is that it requires Atlassian credentials (URL, email, API token) and intentionally has no delete operations.

    Atlassian Confluence MCP Server

    Steady▼ 1
    anuragagrawal0430/atlassian-confluence-mcp-server ↗

    Best for: A team running Confluence Cloud plus on-premise Server or Data Center: this is the pick because one npx server supports all three deployment types.

    It exposes 28 tools for reading and searching Confluence content, covering spaces, pages by ID/title/URL, CQL search, labels, comments, attachments, page hierarchy, versions, watchers, permissions, recently modified pages, inline tasks, and PDF/Word export links. One thing worth knowing before choosing it: it assumes Node.js 18+ and a Confluence Cloud, Server, or Data Center instance, and by default its tools are read-only unless CONFLUENCE_READ_ONLY is set to false.

    qdrant-loader-mcp-server

    Steady▼ 1
    cbtw-apac/qdrant-loader ↗

    Best for: When AI coding tools must search Jira content in Qdrant: the project ingests Jira Cloud and Data Center and exposes search via MCP.

    The monorepo contains a data ingestion pipeline that collects Jira, Confluence, Git, docs, and local files into Qdrant, and an MCP server whose README lists semantic search, hierarchy-aware search, attachment discovery, conflict detection, document similarity, clustering, relationship analysis, and knowledge graphs. A thing to know before choosing it: it assumes a running Qdrant instance and configured LLM embeddings, and Jira content must be loaded by the separate qdrant-loader ingestion package before the MCP server can search it.

Questions people ask

Which should I pick: MCP Atlassian or Atlassian Rovo MCP Server?

On Atlassian Cloud, MCP Atlassian (sooperset/mcp-atlassian) is the community favourite with 5,813 stars, 155 commits in the last 12 weeks, and a commit 2 days ago. Atlassian Rovo MCP Server is the official option and covers Jira, Confluence, Jira Service Management, Bitbucket, and Compass, with 999 stars and 40 commits in the last 12 weeks. Choose Rovo when you want one official bridge across those products; choose MCP Atlassian when your focus is Jira and Confluence with the larger community.

What do I need to run mcp-jira-scoped?

It uses Atlassian's modern scoped API tokens and authenticates through api.atlassian.com. It defaults to read-only and has delete confirmation, which is useful for safety. The project is dormant: last commit 152 days ago and 0 commits in the last 12 weeks.

Is aashari/mcp-server-atlassian-jira safe to use after 178 days without a commit?

The project is labelled Abandoned but popular, last commit 178 days ago, 0 commits in the last 12 weeks, yet it still had 13,069 npm downloads in a typical week. It is positioned for teams that need an AI assistant to read and update Jira issues directly through generic HTTP tools for any Jira REST API endpoint. Use it only if you can tolerate an unmaintained dependency.

What is the difference between Atlassian Data Center MCP and MCP Jira Server for self-hosted Jira?

Atlassian Data Center MCP (b1ff/atlassian-dc-mcp) targets Atlassian Data Center products including Jira, Confluence, and Bitbucket, validates credentials, and stores them securely per product; it had a commit 0 days ago and 66 commits in the last 12 weeks. MCP Jira Server (edrich13/mcp-jira-server) targets self-hosted Jira with Personal Access Token authentication and covers issue CRUD, JQL search, comments, assignment, and deletion; it last committed 215 days ago and has 0 commits in the last 12 weeks. Choose the first for an active Data Center setup, the second only if you specifically need PAT auth on a self-hosted instance and accept dormancy.

How does OpenTabs handle Jira authentication?

It connects through the user's authenticated browser session with a Chrome extension, so no API keys are needed. It talks directly to web app internal APIs and does not use screenshots or DOM scraping. OpenTabs exposed 42 tools.

Can I get both Jira and Confluence with Markdown formatting?

Jira & Confluence MCP Server (thamaraiselvam/mcp-jira-confluence) connects AI assistants to Jira and Confluence and converts Markdown to ADF. It is labelled Dormant: last commit 93 days ago and 0 commits in the last 12 weeks. If you want a more active multi-product server, mcp-atlassian (SharkyND/mcp-atlassian) exposes 71 tools for Jira, Confluence, Bitbucket, and Xray and had a commit 17 days ago and 26 commits in the last 12 weeks.
