Jira Product Discovery MCP

An MCP server for Jira Cloud and Jira Product Discovery. It exposes the existing generic Jira REST tools together with typed native JPD Insight and attachment operations.

Package: @enterpret/jira-product-discovery-mcp

Tool surface

The server exposes exactly eight tools:

Tool	Purpose
jira_get	Read from a Jira REST endpoint.
jira_post	Create through a Jira REST endpoint.
jira_put	Replace through a Jira REST endpoint.
jira_patch	Partially update through a Jira REST endpoint.
jira_delete	Delete through a Jira REST endpoint.
jira_add_attachment	Upload one UTF-8 or base64 attachment to an issue or JPD idea.
jira_list_jpd_insights	List native JPD Insights for an idea key.
jira_create_jpd_insight	Create a native JPD Insight with linked evidence in its description.

The generic tools preserve compatibility with Jira REST API v3. Callers provide only the REST path, query parameters, and request body; authentication remains server-owned.

Authentication

OAuth bearer mode

Enterpret Agent uses Nango to refresh the Jira 3LO connection and injects the short-lived access token into the MCP subprocess:

ATLASSIAN_OAUTH_BEARER=<access-token> \
  npx -y @enterpret/jira-product-discovery-mcp@0.2.0

Native JPD Insight tools require this mode. They do not accept tokens, Atlassian IDs, GraphQL, or OAuth client IDs as tool arguments.

Set ATLASSIAN_CLOUD_ID when the bearer can access more than one Atlassian site. The server verifies the configured cloud ID against Atlassian's accessible resources and otherwise fails closed on ambiguous multi-site connections.

Jira API token mode

The generic Jira REST tools and attachment tool also support Jira API-token authentication:

ATLASSIAN_SITE_NAME=your-instance
ATLASSIAN_USER_EMAIL=you@example.com
ATLASSIAN_API_TOKEN=<api-token>

This mode does not support native JPD Insights.

MCP configuration

The default transport is stdio:

{
	"mcpServers": {
		"jira-product-discovery": {
			"command": "npx",
			"args": ["-y", "@enterpret/jira-product-discovery-mcp@0.2.0"],
			"env": {
				"ATLASSIAN_OAUTH_BEARER": "<access-token>"
			}
		}
	}
}

Supply secrets through the subprocess environment, never through MCP tool arguments or command-line flags.

Native JPD Insights

jira_list_jpd_insights accepts a human-friendly idea key such as MDP-2. The server resolves the selected Atlassian cloud, project ID, and issue ID, then constructs the fixed Polaris ARIs internally.

jira_create_jpd_insight accepts:

• ideaKey
• description
• quote
• sourceUrl (HTTPS)
• sourceTitle

It creates a native JPD Insight with an Atlassian Document Format description containing the summary, quote, and linked source. It does not create a structured source snippet and does not require ATLASSIAN_OAUTH_CLIENT_ID.

Creation is intentionally marked non-idempotent. Retrying a create after an ambiguous provider response can create a duplicate Insight.

Native Insights currently use Atlassian's experimental Polaris GraphQL surface. The server exposes only fixed, typed list and create operations; arbitrary GraphQL and raw Polaris input are not available.

See JPD snippet representations for the difference between description-only Insights and structured source snippets.

Attachments

jira_add_attachment accepts an issue or idea key, filename, content, optional encoding (utf8 or base64), and optional MIME type. The server builds Jira's multipart request and limits decoded files to 10 MiB. Repeated calls create separate Jira attachments.

Data handling

Generic Jira REST calls retain the inherited raw-response diagnostics under /tmp/mcp/jira-product-discovery-mcp/. These files can contain Jira request and response payloads and should be handled accordingly. Attachment uploads are marked sensitive, so attachment bytes and returned content URLs are excluded from debug and raw-response output.

Large generic Jira responses are truncated for the MCP caller and include the corresponding raw-response path. Jira pagination, field selection, and the generic tools' jq filter can be used to request a smaller result.

Development

Requires Node.js 18 or newer.

npm ci
npm run format:check
npm run lint
npm run build
npm test -- --runInBand
npm pack --dry-run

Tests use mocked provider responses for JPD and attachment operations. Do not use production Atlassian credentials for local test runs.

Releasing

Publishing is manual and never runs on a push to main. The release workflow validates the candidate, packs once, smoke-tests that exact tarball through npx, and publishes the same artifact with npm Trusted Publishing provenance.

See the release runbook for the one-time npm bootstrap, Trusted Publishing configuration, release gates, and post-publication verification.
