# Jira Integration Skill

Retrieve, analyze, and update Jira tickets directly from your AI coding workflow. Supports both **MCP-based** (recommended) and **direct REST API** approaches.

## When to Activate

- Fetching a Jira ticket to understand requirements
- Extracting testable acceptance criteria from a ticket
- Adding progress comments to a Jira issue
- Transitioning a ticket status (To Do → In Progress → Done)
- Linking merge requests or branches to a Jira issue
- Searching for issues by JQL query

## Prerequisites

### Option A: MCP Server (Recommended)

Install the `mcp-atlassian` MCP server. This exposes Jira tools directly to your AI agent.

**Requirements:**
- Python 3.10+
- `uvx` (from `uv`), installed via your package manager or the official `uv` installation documentation

**Add to your MCP config** (e.g., `~/.claude.json` → `mcpServers`):

```json
{
  "jira": {
    "command": "uvx",
    "args": ["mcp-atlassian==0.21.0"],
    "env": {
      "JIRA_URL": "https://YOUR_ORG.atlassian.net",
      "JIRA_EMAIL": "your.email@example.com",
      "JIRA_API_TOKEN": "your-api-token"
    },
    "description": "Jira issue tracking — search, create, update, comment, transition"
  }
