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 | $0.02923 | $0.02923 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.01169 | $0.01169 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00585 | $0.00585 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00292 | $0.00292 |
Grade A, and why
jira-mcp AGENTS.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 4d 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 91 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
jira-mcp
Overview
Stdio MCP server (@softspark/jira-mcp) that lets AI agents and MCP clients (Claude Code, Cursor) drive Jira across multiple instances: sync, read, search, comment, transition status, log time, reassign, create, and delete tasks, with markdown to ADF conversion and a local task cache.
This repo is an npm workspace with three packages:
| Path | Package | Published |
|---|---|---|
packages/core |
@softspark/atlassian-mcp-core |
no, bundled into both servers |
packages/jira-mcp |
@softspark/jira-mcp |
yes, bin jira-mcp |
packages/confluence-mcp |
@softspark/confluence-mcp |
yes, bin confluence-mcp |
Both servers share config.json, credentials.json, the ADF layer, the HTTP client and the error hierarchy via core, and keep separate tool lists on purpose: merging them would put near-homonyms (search_tasks/search_pages) in one list and degrade tool selection. packages/core/tests/tool-name-collisions.test.ts asserts they never overlap. See kb/reference/confluence.md.
Tech Stack
- Language: TypeScript, strict mode, ESM, Node >= 18. No
any,import typefor types,.jsimport specifiers,moduleResolution: bundler. - Framework:
@modelcontextprotocol/sdk(server) andcommander(CLI). Zod for schema validation, tsup for build, Vitest for tests, ESLint for lint. - Database: none. Config, credentials, cache, and templates are JSON files under
~/.softspark/jira-mcp/. The Jira REST API is the system of record; the cache is a local read mirror.
Commands
npm run dev # run the CLI from source (tsx src/cli.ts)
npm test # vitest run (test:coverage for the 70% gate, test:watch to iterate)
npm run lint # eslint src/ tests/ (lint:fix to autofix)
npm run typecheck # tsc --noEmit
npm run build # tsup, flat-bundles src into dist/
# pre-commit gate:
npm run typecheck && npm run lint && npm test && npm run build

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.
