When I search in Google for "nginx jwt", the first few
results are on nginx.com domains which eventually refer to
http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_auth_jwt_module.html which says
it is in the commercial subscription.

The next few results are on github.com domains; one is a third-party
module which claims to "do" jwt; and another is a Lua script that does
the same in conjunction with the "openresty" distribution of nginx.

Perhaps one of those can be used to do what you want?

Good luck with it,
