## Setup

### Prerequisites

- **Python 3.11+** — check with `python3 --version`
- **Cursor IDE**
- **Jira API token** — generate one at https://id.atlassian.com/manage-profile/security/api-tokens

### Step 1: Install

```bash
pip install jira-mcp-cursor
```

That's it. This installs the `jira-mcp` command globally.

> **Prefer isolation?** Use `pipx install jira-mcp-cursor` or install in a venv.

<details>
<summary><strong>Alternative: install from source</strong></summary>

```bash
git clone https://github.com/Fintama/Jira_extension_for_cursor.git
cd Jira_extension_for_cursor

python3 -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate   # Windows: venv\Scripts\activate

pip install -e .
```

</details>

### Step 2: Configure Cursor MCP

Add the Jira MCP server to your Cursor config. Open (or create) the file:

- **Global (all projects):** `~/.cursor/mcp.json`
- **Per-project:** `<project-root>/.cursor/mcp.json`

Paste this, replacing the placeholder values with your own:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "jira": {
      "command": "jira-mcp",
      "args": ["serve"],
      "env": {
        "JIRA_URL": "https://your-domain.atlassian.net",
        "JIRA_EMAIL": "you@example.com",
        "JIRA_API_TOKEN": "your-api-token",
        "JIRA_PROJECT_KEY": "PROJ"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

> **Installed from source?** Use the full path to the venv Python instead:
> ```json
> "command": "/absolute/path/to/Jira_extension_for_cursor/venv/bin/python",
> "args": ["-m", "jira_mcp_curso…
