Mcp Jira Scoped
Connects to Jira through Atlassian's modern api.atlassian.com gateway using scoped API tokens (the ATATT prefix kind) instead of the classic tokens that are being phased out. Exposes 14 tools covering reads (get issue, JQL search, list comments, fetch transitions), writes (create/update/delete issues, add comments, move through workflows, link issues), and attachments. Default mode is read-only unless you explicitly grant write:jira-work scope. Delete operations require a confirm parameter as a safety guard. Scope enforcement happens server-side before API calls go out, so the AI can't accidentally exceed the permissions you've granted. Useful if you're already on scoped tokens or want proper scope boundaries between read and write operations.

mcp-jira-scoped
A Jira MCP server built around Atlassian's scoped API tokens, with scope enforcement in the server itself.
Most Jira MCP servers use classic (unscoped) API tokens with basic auth against yoursite.atlassian.net — including the most popular one, which still has scoped-token support open as a feature request. Atlassian is moving away from classic tokens. This server is built for scoped tokens against the modern api.atlassian.com gateway, and enforces your granted scopes server-side before any API call is made — the AI is never trusted to restrain itself.
