### Description (declared)

# Jira MCP Server (using FastMCP)

This MCP server provides tools for interacting with a Jira instance using username/password or session cookie authentication via the FastMCP framework. It allows LLMs (like Claude) to query, update, and manage Jira issues.

## Features

*   Connects to Jira using Basic Auth (username/password) or Session Cookie.
*   Provides MCP tools for common Jira operations:
    *   Fetching single or multiple issues.
    *   Creating and updating issues.
    *   Transitioning issue statuses.
    *   Listing available transitions.
    *   Adding comments.
    *   Downloading attachments.
    *   Listing project issue types.
*   Built with the modern and efficient FastMCP framework.

## Prerequisites

*   Python 3.10+
*   [uv](https://github.com/astral-sh/uv) (Recommended Python package installer and virtual environment manager)
*   Access to a Jira instance (Cloud or Server/Data Center).

## Setup

1.  **Clone the Repository:**
    ```bash
    git clone <your-repo-url>
    cd jira-mcp-server
    ```

2.  **Configure Environment Variables:**
    *   Copy the example environment file:
        ```bash
        cp .env.example .env
        ```
    *   **Edit the `.env` file** with your Jira instance details:
        *   `JIRA_BASE_URL`: The full URL of your Jira instance (e.g., `https://yourcompany.atlassian.net` or `https://jira.yourdomain.com`).
        *   **Choose ONE authentication method:**
            *   **Method 1: Username/Password:** Set `JIRA_USERNAME` and `JIRA_PASSWORD`. (Note: For Jira Cloud, you might need an API Token instead of your password).
            *   **Method 2: Session Cookie:** Set `JIRA_SESSION_ID`. Get this value by logging into Jira in your browser, opening developer tools, going to Application/Storage -> Cookies, finding the cookie named `JSESSIONID` for your Jira domain, and copying its value. Session ID authentication takes precedence if set.
    *   **Important:** The `.env` file contains sensitive credentials an…
