jira-jr

Jira CLI built for AI agents — pure JSON output, semantic exit codes, 600+ auto-generated commands, and built-in jq filtering.

Give your AI agent (Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, or custom bots) reliable, token-efficient access to Jira Cloud.

Install

pip install jira-jr
# or
uv tool install jira-jr

Why jr?

# Full Jira response: ~10,000 tokens
jr issue get --issueIdOrKey PROJ-123

# With jr's filtering: ~50 tokens
jr issue get --issueIdOrKey PROJ-123 --fields key,summary --jq '{key: .key, summary: .fields.summary}'
  • All output is JSON — stdout for data, stderr for errors, always
  • Semantic exit codes — 0=ok, 2=auth, 3=not_found, 5=rate_limited — agents can branch without parsing
  • 600+ commands from the official Jira OpenAPI spec, synced daily
  • Batch operations — N API calls in one process via jr batch
  • Self-describing — jr schema --compact lets agents discover commands at runtime
  • Workflow helpers — jr workflow transition --to "Done" resolves IDs automatically

Quick start

# Configure
jr configure --base-url https://yoursite.atlassian.net --token YOUR_API_TOKEN

# Search issues
jr search search-and-reconsile-issues-using-jql \
  --jql "project = PROJ AND status = 'In Progress'" \
  --jq '[.issues[] | {key, summary: .fields.summary}]'

# Transition + assign in one call
echo '[
  {"command":"workflow transition","args":{"issue":"PROJ-123","to":"Done"}},
  {"command":"workflow assign","args":{"issue":"PROJ-123","to":"me"}}
]' | jr batch
