These names and descriptions are the publisher's own, read from the source code. We print them as written. Our assessment is the findings above, not this list.

create_ticket

Create a Jira ticket. Uses your configured default project unless `project` is given. If no default is set and `project` is omitted, this errors asking which project to use. Returns the ticket key (e.g. ABC-341).

get_ticket

Get details of a Jira ticket by key or number. E.g. 'ABC-341' or just '341'.

move_ticket

Move a Jira ticket to a new status.

move_ticket_to_project
convert_to_subtask

Convert one or more EXISTING standard issues (Task/Story/Bug) into Sub-tasks nested under a parent, in the same project. This is the only way to nest an existing ticket — Jira's edit API refuses an issue-type change to subtask, so this uses the bulk-move API (the same operation as the UI 'Move'). No…

update_ticket

Update fields on an existing Jira ticket.

add_comment

Add a comment to a Jira ticket.

get_comments

Get comments on a Jira ticket: author, timestamp, and body flattened from ADF to plain text.

add_label

Add a label to a Jira ticket.

remove_label

Remove a label from a Jira ticket.

list_attachments

List attachments on a Jira ticket: id, filename, mimeType, size, created, author.

download_attachment

Download a Jira attachment by id to a local directory (created if missing). Returns the saved absolute path.

search_tickets

Search Jira tickets using a plain-English query or JQL.

// environment variables
To run this server yourself, you supply these values. They go in your own MCP client configuration and stay on your machine. The secret label means the value is sensitive, not that the server mishandles it.

Tool annotations

No tools have read-only/destructive annotations

Add readOnlyHint or destructiveHint annotations to every tool so hosts can warn users before invoking.

All four hints declared on every tool

13/13 tools missing one or more hints — create_ticket (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); get_ticket (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); move_ticket (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint), +10 more. OpenAI's directory rejects tools where any of the four hints are missing or non-boolean.

For every tool, set all four hints (readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint) to explicit true/false values that match the handler’s actual behaviour.

Tool handlers catch errors

Only 1/13 tool handlers wrap calls in try/catch (8%)

Wrap each tool handler body in try/catch and return a structured error response.

License file

No license file

Add a LICENSE file (MIT, Apache-2.0, etc.).

Tests exist

No test files found

Add tests that exercise each declared tool.

Domain consistency

npm scope @mahjonglogic doesn't match GitHub owner southocean

Use the same org name across GitHub, npm, and your homepage so users can verify the publisher.

// full audit trail
The findings above are the summary. The full trail, every check we ran, each deduction, the network hosts observed and the dependency advisories, goes to verified publishers, along with an alert whenever a new one lands. Verified publishers can also review each finding and dispute it in one click. Publisher corrections have sharpened several of our checks this month, because the maintainer knows the codebase better than any scanner.
// improvement guidance — verified publishers only
We have 6 concrete improvements we can share with the publisher of this MCP. Each comes with specific guidance to raise the trust score.
