Jira for AI agents

Jira is a bug and issue tracking tool for agile project management, used by software teams to plan and track work. Connect it once through Arc0, and your agent, or Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor, can use it through one MCP endpoint, limited to what each user approved.

03 · HOW IT WORKS

Jira in three steps.

01Your users connect JiraThey sign in to Jira on Arc0 Connect, under your brand, and approve the access you ask for.
02You set the rulesReads run, writes like “create Board” can wait for the user, and “delete Issue” can be denied outright.
03Any agent can actYour agent calls Jira through the Arc0 SDK or MCP, and so can Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor. Every call lands on the audit log.

POLICY.TS

await arc0.policies.set('jira', {
  read: 'allow',
  write: 'ask',        // create_board
  destructive: 'deny',  // delete_issue
})

# Claude Code: the same connection, one URL
$ claude mcp add --transport http arc0 \
    https://mcp.arc0.ai/u/u_8f2

04 · AUTH AND DATA

How Jira connects.

Users sign in to Jira on Arc0 Connect and approve the scopes you request. Build with Arc0’s Jira OAuth app, or bring your own so the Jira consent screen names you. Tokens refresh automatically, and you can export them whenever you want.

The same Jira connection serves your agent over MCP and your own backend over REST and the proxy, so a user connects once. How Arc0 handles credentials →

AUTH: API key · OAuth 2.0 · OAuth 2.0 client credentials
CREDENTIALS: Per-tenant encrypted vault
MODEL SEES: Results only, never credentials
AUDIT LOG: Every call, on every plan

07 · FAQ

Jira and Arc0, answered.

Q01

Can I use Jira with Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor?

Yes. Connect Jira to Arc0 once, then add your Arc0 MCP URL to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Claude Code or any other remote-MCP client. Each assistant only gets the Jira actions you allow.

Q02

How do users connect Jira?

Q03

Which Jira actions can my agent take?

103 in total: 72 read, 23 write and 8 destructive, such as “create Board”. Your policies decide which of them each agent may call.

Q04

Can I stop my agent from deleting things in Jira?

Yes. Actions like “delete Issue” are graded destructive. Set destructive actions to deny, or to ask so the user approves each one, and blocked calls still show up on the audit log.

Q05

Can my own backend call Jira too?

Yes. The same Jira connection is available over REST and through the Arc0 proxy, so your product and your agent share one connection per user.
