This release introduces an MCP server for AI assistant integration and a new create command for creating Jira issues from YAML files.

New Features

MCP Server for AI Assistants

Go-Atlassian now includes an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that enables AI assistants like Claude to interact with Jira directly.

go install github.com/grokify/go-atlassian/cmd/gojira-mcp@latest

The MCP server provides 9 tools:

  • jira_get_issue - Get issue by key
  • jira_search - Search with JQL
  • jira_create_issue - Create new issues
  • jira_update_issue - Update issue fields
  • jira_add_comment - Add comments
  • jira_get_transitions - Get available transitions
  • jira_transition_issue - Change issue status
  • jira_get_comments - Get issue comments
  • jira_get_projects - List projects

See MCP Server documentation for setup instructions.

CLI Create Command

Create Jira issues from YAML files with full support for custom fields:

gojira create -f story.yaml

Example YAML:

project: PROJ
type: Story
summary: Add user authentication
description: |
  Implement OAuth2 login flow.
labels:
  - auth
  - mvp
customfield_12345: |
  Given A, When B, Then C

Features:

  • All standard Jira fields supported
  • Custom fields via customfield_* keys
  • --dry-run flag for validation
  • --project, --parent, --type override flags

See create command documentation for details.
