{
  "mcpServers": {
    "Jira communication server": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/PATH_TO_THE_PROJECT/build/index.js"],
      "env": {
        "JIRA_URL": "https://XXXXXXXX.atlassian.net",

Debugging

Since MCP servers communicate over stdio, debugging can be challenging. We recommend using the MCP Inspector, which is available as a package script:

npm run inspector

The Inspector will provide a URL to access debugging tools in your browser.
