However, its capabilities are limited to the tools it has access to. Composio allows your OpenClaw to access Jira with authentication management handled for you. You can execute actions on Jira via your favorite OpenClaw interface (Telegram, WhatsApp, TUI, etc), whichever you prefer. ## Also integrate Jira with - [ChatGPT](https://composio.dev/toolkits/jira/framework/chatgpt) - [OpenAI Agents SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/jira/framework/open-ai-agents-sdk) - [Claude Agent SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/jira/framework/claude-agents-sdk) - [Claude Code](https://composio.dev/toolkits/jira/framework/claude-code) - [Claude Cowork](https://composio.dev/toolkits/jira/framework/claude-cowork) - [Codex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/jira/framework/codex) - [Cursor](https://composio.dev/toolkits/jira/framework/cursor) - [VS Code](https://composio.dev/toolkits/jira/framework/vscode) - [OpenCode](https://composio.dev/toolkits/jira/framework/opencode) - [Hermes](https://composio.dev/toolkits/jira/framework/hermes-agent) - [CLI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/jira/framework/cli) - [Google ADK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/jira/framework/google-adk) - [LangChain](https://composio.dev/toolkits/jira/framework/langchain) - [Vercel AI SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/jira/framework/ai-sdk) - [Mastra AI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/jira/framework/mastra-ai) - [LlamaIndex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/jira/framework/llama-index) - [CrewAI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/jira/framework/crew-ai) ## TL;DR ### Why use Composio? Apart from a managed and hosted MCP server, you will get: - Programmatic tool calling allows LLMs to write its code in a remote workbench to handle complex tool chaining. Reduces to-and-fro with LLMs for frequent tool calling. - Handling Large tool responses out of LLM context to minimize context rot. - Dynamic just-in-time access to 20,000 tools across 1000+ other Apps for cross-app workflows. It loads the tools you need, so LLMs aren't overwhelmed by tools you don't need. ## Connect Jira to OpenClaw ### How to install Jira with OpenClaw ### Using Composio API Key and Setup Prompt - Go to [dashboard.composio.dev](https://dashboard.composio.dev/login?next=/~/org/connect/clients/openclaw&utm_source=toolkits&utm_medium=framework_template&utm_campaign=openclaw&utm_content=setup_prompt) - Copy the setup prompt - Run it in your OpenClaw chat interface. - Authenticate Jira from the [dashboard](https://dashboard.composio.dev/login?next=/~/org/connect/clients/openclaw&utm_source=toolkits&utm_medium=framework_template&utm_campaign=openclaw&utm_content=authenticate) - Go back to your OpenClaw interface and start asking questions. ### Using OpenClaw/Composio Plugin 1. Install OpenClaw Composio plugin ```bash openclaw plugins install @composio/openclaw-plugin ``` ## What is the Jira MCP server, and what's possible with it? 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 Jira projects, so your agent can perform actions like creating issues, managing sprints, commenting on tasks, assigning work, and tracking releases on your behalf. - Automated issue creation and tracking: Let your agent create new bugs, tasks, or stories, and keep tabs on issues across your Jira projects. - Collaborative commenting and updates: Have your agent add rich-text comments or attachments to issues, keeping team communication seamless and up to date. - Effortless assignment and watcher management: Easily assign issues to teammates or add watchers, ensuring everyone stays in the loop and accountable. - Sprint and release planning: Empower your agent to create sprints, manage boards, and organize project milestones or versions for agile teams. - Issue linking and bulk operations: Direct your agent to link related issues or perform bulk creation of tasks, streamlining project workflows and dependencies. ## Supported Tools | Tool slug | Name | Description | |---|---|---| | `JIRA_ADD_ATTACHMENT` | Add Attachment | Uploads and attaches a file to a jira issue. | | `JIRA_ADD_COMMENT` | Add Comment | Adds a comment using atlassian document format (adf) for rich text to an existing jira issue. | | `JIRA_ADD_WATCHER_TO_ISSUE` | Add Watcher to Issue | Adds a user to an issue's watcher list by account id. | | `JIRA_ASSIGN_ISSUE` | Assign Issue | Assigns a jira issue to a user, default assignee, or unassigns;

With a standalone Jira MCP server, the agents and LLMs can only access a fixed set of Jira tools tied to that server. However, with the Composio Tool Router, agents can dynamically load tools from Jira and many other apps based on the task at hand, all through a single MCP endpoint. ### Can I use Tool Router MCP with OpenClaw? Yes, you can. OpenClaw fully supports MCP integration. You get structured tool calling, message history handling, and model orchestration while Tool Router takes care of discovering and serving the right Jira tools. ### Can I manage the permissions and scopes for Jira while using Tool Router? Yes, absolutely. You can configure which Jira scopes and actions are allowed when connecting your account to Composio. You can also bring your own OAuth credentials or API configuration so you keep full control over what the agent can do. ### How safe is my data with Composio Tool Router? All sensitive data such as tokens, keys, and configuration is fully encrypted at rest and in transit. Composio is SOC 2 Type 2 compliant and follows strict security practices so your Jira data and credentials are handled as safely as possible. --- [See all toolkits](https://composio.dev/toolkits) ยท [Composio docs](https://docs.composio.dev/llms.txt)
