Closes #6

jira_search_issues called GET /rest/api/3/search, which Atlassian removed
from Jira Cloud, so every JQL search failed. Migrated to the replacement
enhanced-search endpoint POST /rest/api/3/search/jql.

Changes

  • src/jira-client.tssearchIssues() now POSTs to /rest/api/3/search/jql.
    POST rather than GET so long JQL expressions cannot hit URL length limits.
    fields is sent explicitly (summary, status, assignee, overridable),
    because the new endpoint returns issue ids only when fields are omitted.
    maxResults is clamped to the accepted 1..5000 range. Optional
    nextPageToken for cursor paging.
  • src/types.tsSearchResult (issues, nextPageToken, isLast). The
    response carries no total, and isLast falls back to "no cursor returned
    means final page".
  • src/tools/jira-search-issues.ts — optional nextPageToken argument; prints
    the next cursor when further pages exist.
  • tests/jira-client.test.ts — 8 new tests: request payload, maxResults
    clamping, cursor paging, custom field list, response mapping, missing
    isLast, non-OK response, network failure.
  • Version 0.3.0 → 0.4.0 — searchIssues() returns SearchResult instead of a
    bare array, which is breaking for direct API consumers.

Gates

  • bunx tsc --noEmit clean
  • bun test tests/jira-client.test.ts — 18 pass / 0 fail
  • bun run build succeeds, dist/ current
  • Code review Soft Score 96%

Notes

  • tests/comment-formatter.test.ts has 7 failures that pre-exist on main
    (verified in a clean worktree). Out of scope here.
  • POST /rest/api/3/search/approximate-count, the only way to recover a total,
    is not wired up — no tool currently reports one.

Summary by cubic

Fixes JQL search on Jira Cloud by replacing the removed GET /rest/api/3/search endpoint with POST /rest/api/3/search/jql; all JQL searches were failing before.

Behavior changes

  • Search now pages with nextPageToken, and the response no longer includes total; isLast defaults to true when no cursor is returned.
  • Fields are sent explicitly (summary, status, assignee) and can be overridden, because the new endpoint returns issue IDs only when fields are omitted.
  • maxResults is clamped to the accepted 1..5000 range.
  • The tool prints the next nextPageToken when more results are available.

Breaking change

  • The package version is now 0.4.0 because searchIssues() returns a SearchResult object (issues, nextPageToken, isLast) instead of a bare array.

Written for commit a3b83e5. Summary will update on new commits.

    • Results now indicate whether the final page has been reached.
    • Per-page result limits are supported from 1 to 5,000.
  • Documentation

    • Updated tool documentation to describe cursor-based search pagination.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Jira issue search now uses POST /rest/api/3/search/jql. The client sends explicit fields, clamps page size, supports nextPageToken, and returns structured pagination data. The tool exposes continuation tokens and records pagination state.

Changes

Jira search pagination

Layer / File(s) Summary
Enhanced search client contract
src/types.ts, src/jira-client.ts, tests/jira-client.test.ts
Adds SearchResult. Rewrites searchIssues() to use the enhanced endpoint, explicit fields, bounded page sizes, and cursor paging. Tests cover request payloads, response mapping, and structured errors.
Tool pagination integration
src/tools/jira-search-issues.ts, README.md, package.json
Adds the optional nextPageToken tool argument, returns continuation tokens, logs pagination state, updates the tool description, and bumps the package version.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to a3b83

Cursor-paged Jira search is implemented, but explicit zero-sized requests return an unexpected page size and custom field selection can expose missing properties as if they were present. These contract issues should be corrected before merge.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Preserve an explicit zero page size for client clamping.

maxResults || 10 converts 0 to 10. This bypasses the client contract that clamps 0 to 1. Use maxResults ?? 10 so only an omitted value receives the default.

Do not declare caller-selected fields as complete JiraIssue objects.

searchIssues() permits fields: ['summary'], but JiraIssue.fields requires status and labels. Direct callers can access these properties without a type error and receive undefined at runtime. Define a search-result issue type with optional field properties, or restrict field selection to a shape that satisfies JiraIssue.
