jtk — Jira Toolkit

The ultimate developer-focused Jira client. A single Go binary that works as both a CLI and an MCP server.

Dual Mode

One binary, two interfaces. Use jtk as a traditional CLI for quick terminal commands, or run jtk mcp to expose every capability to your AI agents via the Model Context Protocol.

Git-Aware

Auto-detects the Jira issue key from your current git branch. Run jtk issues get without arguments and it just works — feature/PROJ-123-login resolves to PROJ-123.

Token-Optimized

Built for AI agents. ResponseFlattener strips unnecessary nesting from Jira’s verbose API responses. Output stays under token limits with SafeJSON truncation and rate limiting.

Permission-Aware

Dynamic tool registration based on your API token’s actual permissions. Read-only tokens only expose read actions — no confusing error messages for your AI agent.
