Example MPC Server - Jira Search

A very basic example of an MPC server that uses the Jira API to search for work items.

Setup

Environment

I recommend using conda to create a virtual environment.

1. Clone the repository and set up the desired Python environment.
2. Install the requirements from requirements.txt.

Environment variables

Copy the .env.example file to .env and fill in the required values.

LM Studio

Add the following to your LM Studio MCP configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    ...
    "jira_test": {
      "command": "<path to Python interpreter>",
      "args": [
        "<path to mcp_jira.py>"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Example with conda:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    ...
    "jira_test": {
      "command": "/Users/<username>/miniconda3/envs/<env name>/bin/python",
      "args": [
        "/Users/<username>/Developer/test-mcp-jira/mcp_jira.py"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Usage

Prompt: Use the tool jira_whoami.
