### Description (declared)

# zephyr-squad-server-mcp

An [MCP](https://modelcontextprotocol.io) server that lets an AI agent drive
**Zephyr for Jira — Server / Data Center (ZAPI)**, the test-management suite for
Jira. It exposes the most common test-management operations (cycles, folders,
executions, test steps, step results, ZQL search) as well-described tools over
**stdio**, so it plugs into Claude Desktop, Claude Code, and any other MCP client.

> This targets the **Server/DC** flavor (`/rest/zapi/latest`). It is **not** for
> Zephyr Squad **Cloud**, which uses a different JWT-signed API.

## Install

The server is published on PyPI and is easiest to run with
[`uv`](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/):

```bash
uvx zephyr-squad-server-mcp        # run directly, no install
# or
uv tool install zephyr-squad-server-mcp
# or, in a venv
pip install zephyr-squad-server-mcp
```

## Configuration

The connection rides on your Jira instance's authentication (shared by ZAPI and
the Jira core REST API). Configure via environment variables or a `.env` file
(see [`.env.example`](.env.example)):

| Variable | Required | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| `JIRA_URL` | ✅ | — | Jira base URL, e.g. `https://jira.company.com` (no `/rest` suffix). |
| `JIRA_PERSONAL_TOKEN` | one of | — | Personal Access Token → `Authorization: Bearer …` (**recommended for DC**). |
| `JIRA_USERNAME` + `JIRA_PASSWORD` | one of | — | Basic-auth fallback (password or API token). Used only if `JIRA_PERSONAL_TOKEN` is empty. |
| `ZEPHYR_API_PATH` | | `/rest/zapi/latest` | ZAPI base path on the Jira host. |
| `ZEPHYR_TIMEOUT` | | `30` | Per-request timeout (seconds). |
| `ZEPHYR_VERIFY_SSL` | | `true` | Verify TLS certs. Set `false` only for trusted internal self-signed hosts. |

The server fails fast with a clear error if the base URL or authentication is
missing.

## Client configuration (stdio)

Add to your MCP client config (e.g. Claude Desktop `claude_desktop_config.json`
or Claude Code `.mcp.json`):

```json
{
  "mcpServers"…
