Name
jira:search - Search for Jira tickets using JQL or text
Synopsis
/search [arguments]
Description
Search for Jira tickets using JQL or text
Implementation
Search for Jira tickets using either JQL (Jira Query Language) or simple text search.
Usage:
/search authentication bug(simple text search)/search project = PROJ AND status = "In Progress"(JQL query)
Use the Atlassian MCP tool atlassian_search_issues.
Logic:
- If the query contains JQL operators (=, AND, OR, IN, etc.), use it as JQL directly
- Otherwise, construct a JQL query that searches across:
- summary ~ "query"
- description ~ "query"
- comment ~ "query"
Display results in table format:
| Key | Summary | Status | Assignee | Priority | Updated | |-----|---------|--------|----------|----------|---------|
Limit to 20 results. If more exist, show: "Showing 20 of X results. Refine your search for more specific results."
Provide helpful JQL tips if search returns no results.
