Jira

Medium⏱️ 15-20 minutes

Enterprise project management, conversational

Jira is the backbone of enterprise project management. This integration brings full Jira Cloud access to your AI assistant. Create and update issues, track sprints, check project status, and run complex JQL queries — all through natural language. Perfect for developers and project managers who want to stay in flow.

Features

Issue management

Create, update, and transition issues. Add comments, assign team members, set priorities — all through chat.

Sprint tracking

Check sprint progress, see burndown status, and get summaries of what's in flight.

Natural language JQL

Ask 'show me all bugs assigned to me' instead of writing complex JQL queries. Your assistant translates to JQL automatically.

Status updates

Get quick status on any issue. 'What's the status of PROJ-123?' returns full context.

Bulk operations

Update multiple issues at once. 'Move all my QA tickets to Done' just works.

Project insights

Get summaries of project health, blocked issues, and team velocity.

Use Cases

Daily standups

Ask for a summary of your tickets, what's blocked, and what needs review. Perfect standup prep.

Quick ticket creation

Found a bug? Say 'Create a bug in PROJ: login button broken on Safari' and it's filed with proper fields.

Sprint planning

Check backlog, estimate capacity, and move tickets into sprints through conversation.

Project management

Get high-level views of project status without digging through Jira's UI.

Developer workflow

Update ticket status while coding. 'Move PROJ-456 to In Review' without context switching.

Setup Guide

Requirements

  • Jira Cloud account
  • Atlassian API token
  • OpenClaw running on a server or Mac
1

Create an Atlassian API token

Go to id.atlassian.com/manage-profile/security/api-tokens and create a new API token. Save it securely.

2

Get your Jira domain

Note your Jira Cloud URL (e.g., yourcompany.atlassian.net).

3

Configure OpenClaw

Add your Jira domain, email, and API token to the OpenClaw configuration.

4

Set up OAuth (optional)

For enhanced security, configure Atlassian OAuth 2.0 instead of API tokens. Create an OAuth app in developer.atlassian.com.

5

Test the connection

Ask your assistant 'What Jira projects do I have access to?' to verify everything works.

Configuration Example

jira:
  domain: \"yourcompany.atlassian.net\"
  email: \"you@company.com\"
  apiToken: \"your-atlassian-api-token\"
  # Or use OAuth:
  # oauth:
  #   clientId: \"your-oauth-client-id\"
  #   clientSecret: \"your-oauth-secret\"

Limitations

  • ⚠️Jira Server/Data Center requires different authentication
  • ⚠️Some advanced features depend on your Jira project configuration
  • ⚠️Large JQL result sets are summarized

Frequently Asked Questions

Does it work with Jira Server?

This integration is optimized for Jira Cloud. Jira Server/Data Center may work with API tokens but requires different configuration.

Can it access all my projects?

Access depends on your Jira permissions. Your assistant can access any project your account has access to.

How does natural language JQL work?

Your assistant understands queries like 'bugs created this week' and translates them to proper JQL (e.g., 'type = Bug AND created >= -7d').

Can it create subtasks and epics?

Yes, it supports all standard issue types including subtasks, epics, stories, tasks, and bugs.

Is my data secure?

OpenClaw runs on your infrastructure. Jira API calls go directly from your instance to Atlassian. No data passes through third-party services.

Can multiple team members use it?

Each user needs their own API token. For team deployments, consider OAuth with proper scopes for each user.
