What JIRA tools are available?

Available tools include `jira_get_assigned_issues` to retrieve assigned issues, `jira_get_issue` to get detailed issue information, and `jira_create_task` to create local tasks from JIRA issues.

What does this JIRA MCP Server do?

It integrates JIRA directly into the Cursor IDE using the Model Context Protocol, allowing you to access and manage your JIRA issues without leaving your IDE.

What credentials does it need?

It reads `JIRA_HOST`, `JIRA_USERNAME`, `JIRA_API_TOKEN` from the environment. Store these in your client's env block or a secrets manager — never commit them to a repository — and grant the narrowest scope that still covers your use case.
