# Jira MCP Server

<!-- mcp-name: io.github.workos/jira-mcp-server -->

## Features

- 🔍 **JQL Search**: Full Jira Query Language support
- 🔄 **Workflows**: Transition issues through statuses (To Do → In Progress → Done)
- 💬 **Comments**: Add comments to issues
- 📋 **Projects**: List accessible projects
- 🏃 **Sprints**: List sprints and get board details
