What is jira-mcp-server CLAUDE.md?

A set of Claude Code instructions for developing and running a Jira integration server. Jira is a tool for tracking issues and project work.

It helps install dependencies, start the server normally or with file watching, check its syntax, and understand its repository structure.

It gives the coding agent project-specific commands, required settings, and development guidance for this server.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00217	$0.00217
Opus 5.5	$0.00087	$0.00087
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00043	$0.00043
Haiku 4.5	$0.00022	$0.00022

Security

Grade A, and why

jira-mcp-server CLAUDE.md scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
