Connect Autogen to Jira MCP. Create a new bug in project alpha, assign issue jira-102 to sarah lee, and more using natural language, with authentication handled for you.
Jira is Atlassian’s platform for bug tracking, issue tracking, and agile project management. It helps teams organize work, prioritize tasks, and deliver projects efficiently.
This guide walks you through connecting Jira to AutoGen using the Composio tool router. By the end, you'll have a working Jira agent that can create and update issues, assign work, manage sprints and boards, log work, and search projects with JQL through natural language commands.
This guide will help you understand how to give your AutoGen agent real control over a Jira account through Composio's Jira MCP server.
Before we dive in, let's take a quick look at the key ideas and tools involved.
McpWorkbench and StreamableHttpServerParamsAutogen is a framework for building multi-agent conversational AI systems from Microsoft. It enables you to create agents that can collaborate, use tools, and maintain complex workflows.
Key features include:
The Jira MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Jira account. It provides structured and secure access to your issues, projects, boards, sprints, and teams, so your agent can create issues, update work, plan sprints, manage projects, and coordinate users on your behalf.
Composio's Composio SDK helps agents find the right tools for a task at runtime. You can plug in multiple toolkits (like Gmail, HubSpot, and GitHub), and the agent will identify the relevant app and action to complete multi-step workflows. This can reduce token usage and improve the reliability of tool calls. Read more here: Getting started with Composio SDK
The tool router generates a secure MCP URL that your agents can access to perform actions.
The Composio SDK follows a three-phase workflow:
You will need:
