+```
+Example for mac:

+        "JIRA_QA_TESTER": "Samia Islam"
+      }
+    }
+```
+
+Example for windows:
+
+```json

+    }
+```
+
+
+*(Note: You can remove `JIRA_DEFAULT_PROJECT` or `JIRA_QA_TESTER` if you don't need them).*
+
+### 2. Cursor Configuration
+1. Open Cursor Settings -> Features -> **MCP Servers**
+2. Click **+ Add New MCP Server**
+3. **Name:** `Jira Server`
+4. **Type:** `command`
+5. **Command:** `<ABSOLUTE_PATH_TO_PYTHON_EXECUTABLE_IN_VENV> <ABSOLUTE_PATH_TO_YOUR_REPOSITORY>/jira_mcp_server.py`
+6. Click Save and make sure it has the green status circle indicating it's connected.
+
+*(Note: In Cursor, environment variables are typically inherited from your shell. If you find Cursor isn't passing environment variables correctly, you can also inject them by prefixing the command with `env JIRA_SERVER=... JIRA_USERNAME=... JIRA_PASSWORD=... <command>` on Mac/Linux, or fallback to setting them safely if you know how).*

+
+## [EXAMPLES] Example Prompts
+
+Once the MCP server is running, the AI has direct access to your Jira. You don't need to specify the URL or API details anymore. Just talk to the AI naturally!
+
+Here are examples of what you can ask:
+
+### [TASKS] Checking Your Work
+
+```
+What are my open assigned tasks in Jira?
+```
+
+```
+Can you show me the details for issue PQCI-875?
+```
+
+```
+Summarize the description of PQCI-877 for me.
+```
+
+```
+What is my active project?
+```
+
+```
+Set my active project to PQCI.
+```
+
+```
+Show me the details for issues PCM-131, PCM-132, and PCM-133.
+```
+
+```
+List only those issues which status is qa assign today
+```
+
+```
+List all issues in PCM that were assigned to QA status yesterday.
+```
+
+```
+List all issues in PCM that are currently 'In Progress' and assigned to me.
+```
+
+### [+] Creating Tasks
+You can specify absolutely any Issue Type that is valid on your Jira server when creating an issue. E.g.:
+`Bug`, `New Feature`, `Task`, `Improvement`, `Epic`, `Story`, `UAT-Feedback`, `Enhancement`, `Test Result`, `Use Case`, `After UAT - Feedback`.
+
+#### Basic Task Creation
+
+```
+Create a new task in the PQCAL Mobile project (PCM) to 'Fix the broken login button on iOS'. The description should say that it crashes on the staging environment.
+```
+
+```
+I just realized we need a new button on the dashboard. Please create a Jira ticket for this. (Requires an active project to be set!)
+```
+
+#### Creating Issues with Subtasks
+
+```
+Create a story titled 'Allow Admin to Change Trader of an Investor' with the following subtasks:
+- Front-end: Design
+- Back-end: Develop
+```
+
+```
+Create a Task titled 'Migrate database' with subtasks:
+- Backup
+- Run migration
+- Verify data
+```
+
+#### Advanced Task Creation
+
+```
+Create a major priority bug for the 'login' component, assigned to 'shahidul', with label 'frontend', environment 'iOS', due '2026-10-31', and an original estimate of '3d 4h'. Support this with description X.
+```
+
+#### Bulk Issue Creation
+
+```
+I have a list of 5 tasks I need created at once in PQCI:
+- Update logo
+- Fix header bug (issue_type=Bug)
+- Write documentation
+- Audit dependencies
+- Update readme
+```
+
+### [USER] Modifying Assignments
+
+```
+Assign the ticket PCM-228 to me.
+```
+
+```
+Assign PCM-155 to the QA tester.
+```
+
+```
+Who is the designated tester?
+```
+
+```
+Create a new task for 'Update API Documentation' in PCM, and assign it to me right away.
+```
+
+### [=>] Updating Statuses
+
+```
+I just finished working on PCM-131. Please transition it to 'Ready for QA'.
+```
+
+```
+Move PQCI-873 to 'Start Progress'.
+```
+
+```
+What transitions are currently available for my task PCM-228?
+```
+
+### [COMM] Communication & Time Logging
+
+```
+Can you fetch the comments on issue PCM-123?
+```
+
+```
+Add a comment to PQCI-875 saying: 'I've addressed the feedback in my latest PR.'
+```
+
+```
+Log 2h 30m of work on PCM-229.
+```
+
+### [SEARCH] Advanced Search (JQL)
+
+```
+Find all issues in the PCM project containing the word 'login' that are unassigned.
+```
+
+```
+List all high-priority bugs reported this week.
+```
+
+```
+What issues are currently in 'Ready for QA' status for PQCI?
+```
