Atlassian has launched Claude Agent for Jira, a new integration available on the Atlassian Marketplace that lets teams assign Jira work items directly to Claude. The agent reads the task context, implements changes in a secure sandboxed environment, and opens a draft pull request in a connected GitHub repository. Real-time status updates stream back to the Jira work item, keeping the entire workflow visible in one place. The integration aims to eliminate the context-switching overhead developers face when moving from planned tasks to code. It supports both a managed cloud workflow via Jira Cloud and local setups via an MCP server or CLI. Available now for Jira Cloud customers on Standard, Premium, or Enterprise plans with Rovo enabled.
