Installation
Using with NPM (Recommended)
Add the following configuration to your .mcp.json:
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "zephyr-scale": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "mcp-zephyr-scale"],
      "env": {
        "ZEPHYR_API_TOKEN": "your-api-token-here",
        "JIRA_PROJECT_KEY": "YOUR_PROJECT"
      }
    },
    "atlassian": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "mcp-remote", "https://mcp.atlassian.com/v1/sse"]
    }
  }
}
Why use both servers?
- Zephyr Scale MCP: Provides test management functionality (test cases, test plans, test cycles, test executions)
- Atlassian MCP: Provides Jira issue management and Confluence documentation access
This combination allows you to create Jira issues with API specifications and link them to test cases, creating full traceability from requirements to test execution.
Required Environment Variables
- ZEPHYR_API_TOKEN: Your Zephyr Scale API token
- JIRA_PROJECT_KEY: Your Jira project key (e.g., "KAN")
How to Get Your Zephyr API Token
- In Jira, click your profile picture
- Select "Zephyr API keys"
- Generate a new API key
For more information, see the Zephyr Scale documentation.
Atlassian MCP Authentication
When you first add the Atlassian MCP Server:
- The server will prompt you to authorize access via OAuth
- You'll be redirected to Atlassian to complete authentication
- Select which products to allow access (Jira and/or Confluence)
- Click "Approve" to complete the authentication
If your authentication expires, you can reconnect using:
- Claude Code: Run the /mcpcommand to manage MCP server connections and select "Reconnect" for the Atlassian server
Development
Setup
# Install dependencies
npm install
# Build the project
npm run build
# Run tests
npm test
# Format code
npm run format
# Lint code
npm run lint
# Check code (lint + format)
npm run check
Testing Local Build
For development, you can test the local build instead of the NPM package. Add the following configuration to your .mcp.json:
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "zephyr-scale": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/absolute/path/to/mcp-zephyr-scale/dist/index.js"],
      "env": {
        "ZEPHYR_API_TOKEN": "your-api-token-here",
        "JIRA_PROJECT_KEY": "YOUR_PROJECT"
      }
    }
  }
}
Replace /absolute/path/to/mcp-zephyr-scale with the actual absolute path to your local repository.
