How george5562/jira-mcp-server works
This is a stdio-based Jira MCP server: an MCP client invokes named tools, the server validates and dispatches requests, and Jira operations return results to the client. README capabilities include project setup, user and issue-type lookups, issue/subtask management, links, and workflows. The sampled source confirms Jira client setup, tool dispatch, and some lookups and updates; other feature links reflect documented capabilities, not inspected handler implementations.
