Run this check first to determine which backend to use:
1. Check if jira CLI is available:
→ Run: which jira
→ If found: USE CLI BACKEND
2. If no CLI, check for Atlassian MCP:
→ Look for mcp__atlassian__* tools
→ If available: USE MCP BACKEND
3. If neither available:

Install: brew install ankitpokhrel/jira-cli/jira-cli
Setup: jira init
2. **Atlassian MCP**:
Configure in your MCP settings with Atlassian credentials.LOAD reference when:
Do NOT load reference for:
jira issue view KEY)| Task | Load Reference? |
|------|-----------------|
| View single issue | No |
| List my tickets | No |
| Create with description | Yes — CLI needs /tmp pattern |
| Transition issue | Yes — need transition ID workflow |
| JQL search | Yes — for complex queries |
| Link issues | Yes — MCP limitation, need script |
