Paper 1 · Question 36

A: Building custom is premature. Community MCP servers for Jira already exist and cover standard use cases. Custom builds should be reserved for team-specific workflows.

B: Community servers should always be the first choice for standard integrations. They are maintained, tested, and cover common use cases. Custom builds are justified only when community servers cannot handle team- specific requirements.

C: Direct API calls bypass the MCP tool interface, losing the benefits of tool descriptions, structured responses, and agent-native integration.

D: A team-wide integration should be in project-level .mcp.json so it is version-controlled and shared. User-level ~/.claude.json is for personal/experimental servers.
