Read from the package source without running it. The installed server may list more.

• analyze_jira_issues

  Compute project metrics over issues selected by JQL or a saved filter. For counting and breakdown questions ("how many by status/assignee/priority"), use metrics: ["summary"] with groupBy — this gives exact counts with no issue cap. Use detail metrics (points, time, schedule, cycle, distribution) for per-issue analysis (capped at maxResults). Use flow for status transition patterns — how issues mo

• manage_jira_board

  List boards or get board details and configuration

• manage_jira_filter

  Search for issues using JQL queries, or manage saved filters. Returns issue details (title, status, description). For quantitative questions (counts, totals, overdue, workload), use analyze_jira_issues instead.

• manage_jira_issue

  Get, create, update, delete, move, transition, comment on, link, log work on, or explore hierarchy of Jira issues. For custom-field writes, consult `jira://capabilities` (field routing) and `jira://custom-fields/{projectKey}/{issueType}` (what is settable here) — some fields need dedicated tools and others auto-resolve names to ids.

• manage_jira_media

  Manage file attachments on Jira issues (remote). Operations here affect Jira — delete permanently removes an attachment from the issue for all users. Use manage_workspace for local file staging. Downloads copy from Jira to workspace; uploads copy from workspace to Jira.

• manage_jira_plan

  Navigate and manage the strategic-to-execution hierarchy. Walks issue trees and Atlassian Goals via GraphQL. Read: analyze rollups (dates, points, progress, conflicts), discover goals (list_goals), get goal detail (get_goal). Write: create/update goals, post status updates, link/unlink Jira issues to goals. Results cached server-side. For flat-set metrics use analyze_jira_issues; for structure wit

• manage_jira_project

  List projects or get project configuration and metadata. For issue counts, workload, or cross-project comparison, use analyze_jira_issues with metrics: ["summary"] instead.

• manage_jira_sprint

  Manage sprints: create, start, close, and assign issues to sprints

• manage_workspace

  Manage files in the local workspace staging area (local only — no Jira impact). Files downloaded via manage_jira_media land here. Delete only removes the local copy. Use manage_jira_media to affect attachments on Jira issues.

• queue_jira_operationswrite action

  Execute multiple Jira operations in a single call. Operations run sequentially with result references ($0.key) and per-operation error strategies (bail/continue). Powerful for analysis pipelines: create a filter, then run multiple analyze_jira_issues calls against $0.filterId with different groupBy/compute — all in one call.
