OpenClaw Jira Integration - Project Management

Basic Information

• Company/Brand: OpenClaw (formerly Clawdbot/Moltbot) + Atlassian Jira
• Country/Region: Austria/USA (Australia)
• Official Website: https://openclaw.ai/
• Type: Open-source AI Agent Platform - Jira Project Management Integration
• Founded: November 2025 (First release of OpenClaw)

Product Description

The OpenClaw Jira integration allows users to manage Jira projects without leaving their messaging apps by connecting to the Jira REST API. The AI agent can create tickets, update sprints, track bugs, and manage backlogs. Users can skip JQL syntax and directly query using natural language (e.g., "Show all high-priority bugs created this week"), and OpenClaw automatically translates it into JQL and returns formatted results. The system runs on the user's infrastructure, and Jira API calls are sent directly from the user's instance to Atlassian without passing through third-party services. Composio provides MCP integration for Jira, automatically handling authentication management. The jira-ai skill on LobeHub supports combined management of Jira and Confluence.
