Feature request - MCP server Image fetch tool

[SysEng0]

For AI MCP connections to be able to fetch images we would need the following:

The Atlassian MCP server would need to either:

Expose a tool that fetches attachment/image content — something like getJiraAttachment that returns the image binary or a downloadable URL that I could then fetch and view. The current server doesn't provide that.

Return image URLs in a consumable format — Right now the images come back as blob: references (internal Atlassian media service URLs) that aren't accessible outside the browser session. If the API returned public or token-authenticated URLs to the actual image files, I could use web_fetch to retrieve them.

Realistically, this would require either:

Atlassian's official MCP server adding an attachment/media retrieval tool (feature request to Atlassian)
Switching to the community mcp-atlassian server (sooperset) which might have attachment support — though I'm not certain it returns image content either
A custom MCP server or proxy that wraps the Jira REST API's /rest/api/3/attachment/content/{id} endpoint and returns the image data
