Setting Up Opencode to Use the Jira MCP Server

🛠️ Setting Up Opencode to Use the Jira MCP Server

Overview
This guide explains how to configure Opencode to communicate with your Atlassian Jira MCP (Multi-Project Connectivity) server, enabling seamless automation of tasks like issue management, content creation, and data synchronization.

🧱 Step 1: Configure the MCP Server

  1. Enable the MCP Server
    Ensure your Jira MCP server is running and accessible. Verify the server URL and authentication credentials (e.g., API token or username/password).

    Example configuration snippet (adjust as needed):

5

    {
  "server_url": "https://your-jira-mcp-server.com",
  "enabled": true,
  "proxy_url": "sian.com/v1/sse"
}

  2. Set Up Proxy Settings
    If your network requires a proxy, configure it in Opencode’s settings. This ensures secure communication between Opencode and the MCP server.

🚀 Step 2: Start the Opencode Proxy

  1. Launch the Proxy Service
    Run the Opencode proxy in the background to establish a persistent connection to the MCP server. This allows real-time data synchronization and task automation.

  2. Verify Connectivity
    Check logs to confirm successful connection to the MCP server. Look for confirmation messages like Connected to Jira MCP server at [URL].

📌 Step 3: Use Opencode to Interact with Atlassian

Once configured, Opencode can automate the following tasks:

  1. Search Jira Issues
    Use Opencode to query Jira issues via JQL (e.g., project = "Support" AND status = "In Progress").

  2. Create New Issues or Pages
    Automate issue creation in Jira or Confluence page generation with templated content.

  3. Update Existing Content
    Modify Jira issues, Confluence pages, or other Atlassian artifacts using Opencode’s API integration.

📝 Example Workflow

Scenario: Automate issue creation in Jira when a Confluence page is updated.

  1. Configure Opencode to monitor Confluence page changes.
  2. Use a webhook or scheduled task to trigger a Jira issue creation via the MCP server.
  3. Sync the Jira issue ID back to the Confluence page for reference.

🛠️ Troubleshooting Tips

  • Connection Errors: Verify the MCP server URL and proxy settings.
  • Permissions: Ensure Opencode has the necessary permissions to access Jira/Confluence resources.
  • Logs: Check Opencode’s debug logs for detailed error messages.

📈 Benefits of Integration

  • Efficiency: Reduce manual tasks with automated workflows.
  • Consistency: Maintain synchronized data across Jira and Confluence.
  • Scalability: Handle complex operations with minimal user intervention.
