AI Jira management via natural language
OpenClaw Jira Integration
Manage your Jira projects without leaving your messaging app. OpenClaw connects to the Jira REST API so you can create tickets, update sprints, track bugs, and manage your backlog through natural language.
Setup
Step 1: Create Jira API Token
- Go to id.atlassian.com/manage-profile/security/api-tokens
- Click "Create API token"
- Name it "OpenClaw" ā copy the token
Step 2: Configure OpenClaw

Authentication error? Jira uses email + API token (not password). Verify both are correct.
Project not found? Use the project key (e.g., "ENG"), not the full name.
Permission denied? Ensure your account has permission to create/edit issues in that project.

Setup Guide
Requirements
- āJira Cloud account
- āAtlassian API token
- āOpenClaw running on a server or Mac
Create an Atlassian API token
Go to id.atlassian.com/manage-profile/security/api-tokens and create a new API token. Save it securely.
Get your Jira domain
Note your Jira Cloud URL (e.g., yourcompany.atlassian.net).
Configure OpenClaw
Add your Jira domain, email, and API token to the OpenClaw configuration.
Set up OAuth (optional)
For enhanced security, configure Atlassian OAuth 2.0 instead of API tokens. Create an OAuth app in developer.atlassian.com.
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
- ā ļøJira Server/Data Center requires different authentication
- ā ļøSome advanced features depend on your Jira project configuration
- ā ļøLarge 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.
