## Usage examples
Some example prompts you can use to interact with Jira:
1. "Show me all Jira projects" → execute the list_projects tool to see all available projects.
2. "What Kanban boards exist in the DEV project?" → execute the list_boards tool with the DEV project key and type parameter set to "kanban".
3. "Show me all the sprints for board ID 123" → execute the list_sprints_from_board tool to see all sprints associated with board 123.
4. "What issues are in sprint 456 on board 123?" → execute the list_issues_from_sprint tool to see all issues in sprint 456 on board 123.
5. "Show me the first 50 issues from the current sprint on the Marketing board" → first execute list_boards to find the Marketing board ID, then list_sprints_from_board to find the current sprint, then list_issues_from_sprint with maxResults=50.
## Development

```shell
pnpm install
```
2. Configure Github Access token in `.env`:
```shell
