The solution to that is Anthropic's Skills.

Create a folder called skills/how-to-use-jira

Add several Bash scripts with the right curl commands to perform specific actions

Add a SKILL.md file with some instructions in how to use those scripts

You've effectively flattened that MCP server into some Markdown and Bash, only the thing you have now is more flexible (the coding agent can adapt those examples to cover new things you hadn't thought to tell it) and much more context-efficient (it only reads the Markdown the first time you ask it to do something with JIRA).
