[Bug]: Markdown multi level bullet list not working

[joanpuigsanz]

Prerequisites

• I have searched the existing issues to make sure this bug has not already been reported.
• I have checked the README for relevant information.

Bug Description

When I call the jira_update_issue tool with a description with different bullet points levels, the resulting output gets messed up

Steps to Reproduce

1. Start the MCP server
2. Call the tool jira_update_issue with a bullet point list with different levels like this:

{"description":"* Item A\n  * Sub-item A.1\n    * Sub-sub-item A.1.1\n* Item B"}

The list sent to jira will end up being flat, and the levels will not be shown.

Expected Behavior

The jira ticket description should have a bullet list with multiple levels like this:

* Item A
  * Sub-item A.1
    * Sub-sub-item A.1.1
* Item B

Actual Behavior

The multilevel bullet point list will be flattened:


* Item A
* Sub-item A.1
* Sub-sub-item A.1.1
* Item B
