• Documentor - Technical documentation

Quick Start

Prerequisites

• Java 17 or higher
• Maven 3.6+
• Claude Code CLI (for MCP client)
• JIRA and/or Confluence account with API tokens (optional, for JIRA/Confluence features)

Build

cd sdlc-tools-mcp-server
mvn clean package

This creates an executable JAR: target/sdlc-tools-mcp-server-2.0.0-SNAPSHOT-jar-with-dependencies.jar

Configuration

JIRA and Confluence Configuration

To avoid passing credentials with every JIRA and Confluence tool call, you can configure them once using either:

1. Environment Variables (recommended for security):

   export JIRA_URL=https://your-domain.atlassian.net
   export JIRA_EMAIL=your-email@example.com
   export JIRA_API_TOKEN=your-jira-api-token
   
   export CONFLUENCE_URL=https://your-domain.atlassian.net/wiki
   export CONFLUENCE_EMAIL=your-email@example.com
   export CONFLUENCE_API_TOKEN=your-confluence-api-token
   

2. Configuration File: Create application.properties in one of these locations:

   • Current directory where the server runs
   • ~/.sdlc-tools/application.properties

   # JIRA Configuration
   jira.url=https://your-domain.atlassian.net
   jira.email=your-email@example.com
   jira.api.token=your-jira-api-token
   
   # Confluence Configuration
   confluence.url=https://your-domain.atlassian.net/wiki
   confluence.email=your-email@example.com
   confluence.api.token=your-confluence-api-token
   

   Copy application.properties.example to get started:

   cp application.properties.example application.properties
   # Edit application.properties with your credentials
   

3. Generate API Tokens:
