Deeplink to your AI coding tool from Jira
Jun 16, 2026Himanshu Singh, Evan Perlman

Summary
Introduces deep linking from Jira work items to local AI coding tools, enabling direct invocation of agents like Claude Code, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, OpenAI Codex, Rovo Dev CLI, and VS Code. The feature pre-fills prompts with work item context (summary, description, linked docs) via Atlassian MCP, reducing manual prompt crafting and copy-pasting. For desktop apps, the tool opens directly; for terminal tools, a modal provides a one-click copy action. MCP also allows agents to pull additional context during their work.
