Jira Integration

Connect your AI to Jira for seamless issue tracking, project management, and workflow automation.

Overview

The Jira integration enables your AI to interact with your Jira projects, allowing you to create, update, and search for issues, transition workflows, add comments, and more—all without leaving your AI interface.

Authentication

To use Jira with Skeet, you first need to authenticate:

1. Connect your Jira account in the Skeet dashboard
2. Ensure your AI is connected to Skeet with your MCP key
3. Verify your connection:

Creating Jira Issues

Create new issues in Jira directly from your AI interface. You'll need to provide a project, summary, and issue type at minimum.

Create a new Jira issue with summary "Implement user authentication" in project "PROJ" as a Task

The AI will use the jira_create_issue tool with the following parameters:

{
  "project": "Project key where the issue will be created",
  "summary": "Issue summary/title",
  "description": "Detailed description of the issue",
  "issuetype": "Type of issue (e.g., 'Bug', 'Task', 'Story')",
  "assignee": "ID of the user to assign the issue to",
  "priority": "Priority ID of the issue"
}

Updating Jira Issues

Update existing Jira issues by providing the issue key and the fields you want to modify.

Update Jira issue PROJ-123 to change the summary to "Refactor authentication flow" and set priority to highest

The AI will use the jira_update_issue tool with these parameters:

{
  "issueKey": "Key of the issue to update (e.g., 'PROJ-123')",
  "summary": "New summary/title for the issue",
  "description": "New description for the issue",
  "assignee": "ID of the user to assign the issue to",
  "priority": "New priority ID for the issue"
}

Transitioning Issues

Change the status of Jira issues by transitioning them through your workflow.

Move Jira issue PROJ-123 to "In Progress" status

The AI will use the jira_transition_issue tool:

{
  "issueKey": "Key of the issue to transition (e.g., 'PROJ-123')",
  "transitionId": "ID of the transition to apply"
}

JQL Searching

Search for issues using Jira Query Language (JQL), which provides powerful and flexible search capabilities.

Search Jira for all high priority bugs in project PROJ

The AI will use the jira_jql_search tool with parameters:

{
  "jql": "JQL query string",
  "maxResults": "Maximum results to fetch",
  "fields": ["List of fields to return for each issue"],
  "expand": "Additional info to include in the response"
}

Getting Issue Details

Get detailed information about a specific Jira issue.

Show me details for Jira issue PROJ-456

The AI will use the jira_get_issue tool:

{
  "issueIdOrKey": "ID or key of the issue",
  "fields": ["Fields to include in the response"],
  "expand": "Additional information to include in the response"
}

Adding Comments

Add comments to existing Jira issues.

Add a comment to Jira issue PROJ-42 saying "I've fixed this bug in PR #123"

The AI will use the jira_comment_issue tool:

{
  "issueKey": "Key of the issue to comment on",
  "comment": "Comment to add to the issue"
}

User Management

Search for Jira users by username.

Find Jira user "john.doe"

The AI will use the jira_search_users tool:

{
  "query": "Query to search for users"
}

Getting Viewer Info

Retrieve information about the authenticated user, available projects, issue types, workflows, and more.

Get my Jira information and available projects

The AI will use the jira_get_viewer tool, which doesn't require any parameters.
