221 comments on which MCPs actually pay off: Jira and Confluence win, and the advice is to keep almost all of them off
A 368-upvote r/ClaudeAI thread produced a mod-bot consensus summary naming Jira and Confluence as the clear winners (with a warning that Opus 5 gets eager and acts on tickets unprompted), Home Assistant second, and Notion and Figma close behind. For dev and ops the named picks are Datadog, Grafana and Playwright, though several people say use the CLI instead of the Playwright MCP to save tokens. The strongest recurring theme is that the highest-value MCPs are custom-built for one person's stack, and the closing advice is to enable only what you are actively using so the context window does not bloat.
