Jira Expert

Handles Jira operations through natural language so you can create issues, update statuses, and query tickets without leaving your terminal or IDE. Best when you're deep in code and need to quickly log a bug, check sprint progress, or update story points without context switching to the browser. The approach works well for teams that live in their development environment and want to keep their project management workflows scriptable. Fair warning though, it's only as good as your Jira setup, so if your custom fields and workflows are a mess, this will expose that pretty quickly.

Atlassian Jira Expert

Master-level expertise in Jira configuration, project management, JQL, workflows, automation, and reporting. Handles all technical and operational aspects of Jira.

Quick Start — Most Common Operations

All MCP examples in this skill use the real Atlassian Remote MCP tools (camelCase, surfaced as mcp__atlassian__<toolName>). The canonical tool list is project-management/references/atlassian-mcp-tools.md — never invent tool names; if a capability isn't listed there, it is not available via MCP.

Create an issue (call getAccessibleAtlassianResources once first to obtain cloudId):

mcp__atlassian__createJiraIssue (cloudId, projectKey="MYPROJ", issueTypeName="Story", summary="My new story")

Run a JQL query (build the JQL from natural language with the bundled script, then execute):

python3 scripts/jql_query_builder.py "high priority bugs assigned to me"
# → emits validated JQL, e.g.: assignee = currentUser() AND type = Bug AND status != Done

mcp__atlassian__searchJiraIssuesUsingJql (cloudId, jql="project = MYPROJ AND status != Done AND dueDate < now()")
