Nexus

A Claude Code plugin that bundles MCP servers for daily workflow tools. Currently supports Jira (via official Atlassian MCP) and Figma (via official Figma MCP).

Prerequisites

• Claude Code installed
• Node.js v18+
• An Atlassian Cloud account (for Jira)
• A Figma account (for Figma)

Installation

Option 1: From GitHub (permanent)

# Register the marketplace
claude plugin marketplace add Piyu7994/nexus

# Install the plugin
claude plugin install nexus@nexus

Option 2: Local development (session-only)

git clone https://github.com/Piyu7994/nexus.git nexus
claude --plugin-dir /path/to/nexus/plugin

Updating

claude plugin update nexus@nexus

Restart your Claude Code session after updating for changes to take effect.

Note: claude plugin install re-installs the current cached version — use update to pull the latest.

First-Time Setup

Jira

1. Start Claude Code with the plugin loaded
2. Type /nexus:jira
3. A browser window will open for Atlassian OAuth — sign in and authorize access to your Jira instance
4. Once authorized, restart your Claude Code session for the connection to take effect

Figma

1. Start Claude Code with the plugin loaded
2. Type /nexus:figma whoami
3. A browser window will open for Figma OAuth — sign in and authorize access
4. Once authorized, restart your Claude Code session for the connection to take effect

Tip: If Figma responses get truncated, set MAX_MCP_OUTPUT_TOKENS=50000 in your environment before starting Claude Code.

OAuth tokens are managed automatically by mcp-remote.

Usage

Jira

/nexus:jira <what you want to do>

Jira Examples

Command	What it does
/nexus:jira search open bugs in PROJ	Search issues using JQL
/nexus:jira create a story in PROJ	Create a single Jira issue
/nexus:jira update story points on PROJ-123 to 5	Update issue fields
/nexus:jira move PROJ-123 to In Progress	Transition issue status
/nexus:jira assign PROJ-123 to [email protected]	Assign a team member
/nexus:jira break down feature from spec.md into PROJ-100	Generate a full ticket hierarchy (stories, tasks, subtasks) under an epic from a feature spec

Feature Breakdown

The most powerful workflow — give it a feature spec and an epic key:

/nexus:jira break down feature from docs/feature-spec.md into PROJ-100

It will:

1. Read and analyze your spec
2. Propose a ticket hierarchy (Stories → Tasks → Sub-tasks)
3. Estimate story points (Fibonacci: 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13)
4. Let you review and adjust before creating anything
5. Create all tickets with correct parent-child links and assignees

Figma

/nexus:figma <what you want to do>

Figma Examples

Command	What it does
/nexus:figma get design context for <url>	Extract code-ready design context (React+Tailwind)
/nexus:figma extract design tokens from <url>	Get variables and styles (colors, spacing, typography)
/nexus:figma take a screenshot of <url>	Screenshot a Figma selection
/nexus:figma search design system for button	Search connected design libraries
/nexus:figma create a new Figma file	Create a blank Design or FigJam file
/nexus:figma generate a flowchart from mermaid: ...	Generate a FigJam diagram
/nexus:figma set up Code Connect mappings	Map Figma components to code components

Figma Rate Limits

Figma MCP has strict rate limits based on your plan:

Plan / Seat	Limit
Starter or View/Collab seats	6 calls/month
Dev/Full on Professional	15 calls/min, 200/day
Dev/Full on Organization	20 calls/min, 200/day
Dev/Full on Enterprise	Unlimited/min, 600/day

The plugin automatically detects your plan and warns before each call on low-tier plans.
