Jira

What is the Jira tool?

The Jira tool is a built-in capability in the Agno framework that allows AI agents to manage jira issues, projects, and sprints. When added to an agent in Agno Builder, the agent can autonomously decide when to invoke this tool based on the user's request.

This tool requires a JIRA_TOKEN environment variable. Get your API key at id.atlassian.com.

How to use Jira in Agno Builder

1. 1

   Create an agent

   Drag an Agent node onto the canvas in Agno Builder, or use one of the built-in templates.

2. 2

   Enable Jira

   Click the agent, go to the Tools tab, and toggle on "Jira" from the productivity category.

3. 3

   Add your API key

   Enter your JIRA_TOKEN in the tool configuration. Your key stays in your browser and is never stored on our servers.

4. 4

   Test in chat

   Open the chat panel and send a message. The agent will automatically use Jira when relevant.

5. 5

   Export Python code

   Click File > Export Python to get clean, runnable code with the correct imports for Jira.

Python code example

This is the code Agno Builder exports when you use Jira:

from agno.agent import Agent
from agno.models.openai import OpenAIChat
from agno.tools.jira import JiraTools

agent = Agent(
    name="Jira Agent",
    model=OpenAIChat(id="gpt-4o"),
    tools=[JiraTools()],
    instructions=["Use the jira tool to help the user."],
    markdown=True,
)

agent.print_response("Help me with a jira task")

Install with: pip install agno # + set JIRA_TOKEN
