Our reading of Jira Easy, from the data

Jira Easy is a project management MCP server from iamsal, listed in the official MCP Registry.

We haven't measured its tool list yet, so its token cost is unknown.

Maintenance is active: the last public signal was 4 days ago (2026-10-14). For comparison, 61% of project management servers are active or maintained.

With 3 GitHub stars it ranks #119 of 565 project management servers we index.

It runs locally on your machine over stdio and needs one secret (JIRA_PASSWORD); use a scoped, least-privilege key.
