Jira

Connect to Jira. Manage issues, projects, workflows, and agile development processes

Supports authentication: OAuth 2.0

Set up the agent connector

Register your Scalekit environment with the Jira connector so Scalekit handles the authentication flow and token lifecycle for you. The connection name you create will be used to identify and invoke the connection programmatically. Then complete the configuration in your application as follows:

1. Set up auth redirects

   • In Scalekit dashboard, go to Agent Auth → Create Connection. Find Jira and click Create. Copy the redirect URI. It looks like https://<SCALEKIT_ENVIRONMENT_URL>/sso/v1/oauth/<CONNECTION_ID>/callback.

     

   • In the Atlassian Developer Console, open your app and go to Authorization → OAuth 2.0 (3LO) → Configure.

   • Paste the copied URI into the Callback URL field and click Save changes.

     

2. Get client credentials

   In the Atlassian Developer Console, open your app and go to Settings:

   • Client ID — listed under Client ID
   • Client Secret — listed under Secret

3. Add credentials in Scalekit

   • In Scalekit dashboard, go to Agent Auth → Connections and open the connection you created.

   • Enter your credentials:

     • Client ID (from your Atlassian app)
     • Client Secret (from your Atlassian app)
     • Permissions (scopes — see Jira OAuth scopes reference)

     

   • Click Save.

Usage

Connect a user’s Jira account and make API calls on their behalf — Scalekit handles OAuth and token management automatically.

Don’t worry about the Jira cloud ID in the path. Scalekit automatically resolves {{cloud_id}} from the connected account’s configuration. For example, a request with path="/rest/api/3/myself" will be sent to https://api.atlassian.com/ex/jira/a1b2c3d4-e5f6-7890-abcd-ef1234567890/rest/api/3/myself automatically.

You can interact with Jira in two ways — via direct proxy API calls or via Scalekit optimized tool calls. Scroll down to see the list of available Scalekit tools.

Proxy API Calls

Node.js

import { ScalekitClient } from '@scalekit-sdk/node';
import 'dotenv/config';

const connectionName = 'jira'; // get your connection name from connection configurations
const identifier = 'user_123';  // your unique user identifier

// Get your credentials from app.scalekit.com → Developers → Settings → API Credentials
const scalekit = new ScalekitClient(
  process.env.SCALEKIT_ENV_URL,
  process.env.SCALEKIT_CLIENT_ID,
  process.env.SCALEKIT_CLIENT_SECRET
);
const actions = scalekit.actions;

// Authenticate the user
const { link } = await actions.getAuthorizationLink({
  connectionName,
  identifier,
});
console.log('🔗 Authorize Jira:', link);
process.stdout.write('Press Enter after authorizing...');
await new Promise(r => process.stdin.once('data', r));

// Make a request via Scalekit proxy
const result = await actions.request({
  connectionName,
  identifier,
  path: '/rest/api/3/myself',
  method: 'GET',
});
console.log(result);

Python

import scalekit.client, os
from dotenv import load_dotenv
load_dotenv()

connection_name = "jira"  # get your connection name from connection configurations
identifier = "user_123"     # your unique user identifier

# Get your credentials from app.scalekit.com → Developers → Settings → API Credentials
scalekit_client = scalekit.client.ScalekitClient(
    client_id=os.getenv("SCALEKIT_CLIENT_ID"),
    client_secret=os.getenv("SCALEKIT_CLIENT_SECRET"),
    env_url=os.getenv("SCALEKIT_ENV_URL"),
)
actions = scalekit_client.actions

# Authenticate the user
link_response = actions.get_authorization_link(
    connection_name=connection_name,
    identifier=identifier
)
# present this link to your user for authorization, or click it yourself for testing
print("🔗 Authorize Jira:", link_response.link)
input("Press Enter after authorizing...")

# Make a request via Scalekit proxy
result = actions.request(
    connection_name=connection_name,
    identifier=identifier,
    path="/rest/api/3/myself",
    method="GET"
)
print(result)
