Overview

Security Notes
The server employs Zod schemas for robust input validation, mitigating common injection risks. Authentication is handled using standard Basic authentication (email+API token for Cloud, username+password for DataCenter) over HTTPS. Credentials are processed internally and are explicitly hidden in the output of the 'get_jira_config' tool. No 'eval' or other inherently dangerous functions are observed. However, the external setup instructions in the README show storing credentials directly in plaintext within `settings.json` or `claude_desktop_config.json`, which is a user-side security risk, not a vulnerability in the server's code itself. Environment variables are recommended for security.
