Unblocked Context Query — Issues

Structured issue retrieval. Calls context_query_issues with a natural-language query scoped by --projects and/or --user-name filters — producing a filtered list rather than a ranked semantic match set.

Sources: Jira, Jira Data Center, Linear, Asana, GitHub Issues.

How to Invoke

context_query_issues has no MCP equivalent — it is CLI-only. It does not appear in the MCP tool list regardless of availability. Run command -v unblocked once per session and cache the result. Do not conclude the tool is unavailable from the MCP surface alone. See unblocked-tools-guide for full routing rules.

CLI (preferred):

unblocked context-query-issues --query "<your query>" [--projects PROJ_KEY another-project] [--user-name "Alice Smith"]

MCP fallback (only if CLI is confirmed unavailable): context_query_issues has no true MCP equivalent. context_research with instruction: "Prefer issue tracker results filtered by project and assignee; deprioritize code and messages" will return ranked results — not an enumeration. If the user's request depends on completeness ("list all…", "every open bug…"), stop and surface the CLI requirement rather than silently dropping matches. Use the fallback only for conceptual queries that happen to be scoped to issues.

If neither is available: stop and tell the user Unblocked is not configured in this environment (see unblocked-tools-guide for the full message). Do not substitute with raw Jira/Linear CLIs.
