Jira Cloud

aaronsb/jira-cloud

Connects Claude to your Jira Cloud instance via the Atlassian REST API. You get seven tools covering the full workflow: create and transition issues, run JQL queries, manage sprints and boards, batch operations with result references, and compute metrics across issue sets. The analyze tool is noteworthy for running aggregations and data cube analysis directly on JQL results. Resources expose custom field catalogs, project overviews, and board summaries so Claude can discover your schema at runtime. Setup requires an API token from Atlassian. Useful when you're triaging backlogs, planning sprints, or need to query and update issues without leaving your conversation.
