Best for
  • Teams using Jira for project management
  • Users who want to manage tasks via natural language with AI assistants
  • Developers needing to automate common PM operations like assignment and status updates
  • Teams and individuals who already manage docs/wikis in Notion and want AI clients (Claude Desktop, Cursor, etc.) to operate on that content directly
  • Developers who want to self-host a local MCP server rather than use a remote hosted option
  • Automation/agent workflows that need to query or update Notion database records programmatically
Not for
  • Users who do not use Jira
  • Scenarios requiring complex permission management
  • Developers who need direct API access without natural language interaction
  • Users who want the standard-OAuth, zero-JSON-config install with active official support — Notion recommends its newer remote Notion MCP server for that
  • Users uncomfortable handing a Notion integration token to a locally-run LLM client
  • Use cases needing capabilities the integration deliberately excludes, such as deleting databases
  • Long-term production deployments that need guaranteed maintenance, given this repo may be sunset
Required permissions
  • Read access to Jira projects, issues, and user information
  • Create, update, and delete issues and subtasks
  • Create issue links (dependencies)
  • Requires JIRA_HOST, JIRA_API_TOKEN or PAT, and JIRA_EMAIL for basic auth
  • A Notion internal integration token (NOTION_TOKEN or the Authorization value in OPENAPI_MCP_HEADERS), scoped by that integration's Capabilities (can be limited to read-only)
  • Access limited to the specific pages/databases explicitly connected to the integration, not the whole workspace
  • A separate bearer auth token when using the Streamable HTTP transport (--auth-token / AUTH_TOKEN)
  • Network access to the Notion API
Risks and side effects
  • If API tokens are leaked, attackers can access and modify Jira data
  • Delete operations are irreversible and may cause data loss, especially when deleting subtasks
  • Misconfiguration may lead to permission issues or API rate limits
  • Dependent on Jira API version, subject to instance limitations
  • If the integration is granted broad read/write capabilities and connected to many pages, that content is effectively exposed to the LLM, risking data leakage or unintended edits
  • Running with --unsafe-disable-auth removes bearer authentication on the HTTP transport, potentially making it reachable via DNS rebinding from pages a user visits — the README says to only use it on an isolated network
  • Multi-tenant token passthrough requires careful TLS/gateway configuration; misconfiguration risks leaking or misrouting Notion tokens between tenants
  • The README states this local server may be sunset in favor of the remote Notion MCP, and that issues/PRs here are not actively monitored, so long-term maintenance and security fixes are not guaranteed
  • Storing NOTION_TOKEN or OPENAPI_MCP_HEADERS directly in shared client config files risks leaking the secret
