Jira Automation via Rube MCP
Automate Jira operations through Composio's Jira toolkit via Rube MCP.
Prerequisites
- Rube MCP must be connected (RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS available)
- Active Jira connection via
RUBE_MANAGE_CONNECTIONS with toolkit jira
- Always call
RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS first to get current tool schemas
Setup
Get Rube MCP: Add https://rube.app/mcp as an MCP server in your client configuration. No API keys needed — just add the endpoint and it works.
- Verify Rube MCP is available by confirming
RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS responds
- Call
RUBE_MANAGE_CONNECTIONS with toolkit jira
- If connection is not ACTIVE, follow the returned auth link to complete Jira OAuth
- Confirm connection status shows ACTIVE before running any workflows
Core Workflows
1. Search and Filter Issues
When to use: User wants to find issues using JQL or browse project issues
Tool sequence:
JIRA_SEARCH_FOR_ISSUES_USING_JQL_POST - Search with JQL query [Required]
JIRA_GET_ISSUE - Get full details of a specific issue [Optional]
Key parameters:
jql: JQL query string (e.g., project = PROJ AND status = "In Progress")
maxResults: Max results per page (default 50, max 100)
startAt: Pagination offset
fields: Array of field names to return
issueIdOrKey: Issue key like 'PROJ-123' for GET_ISSUE
Pitfalls:
- JQL field names are case-sensitive and must match Jira configuration
- Custom fields use IDs like
customfield_10001, not display names
- Results are paginated; check
total vs startAt + maxResults to continue
2. Create and Edit Issues
When to use: User wants to create new issues or update existing ones
Tool sequence:
JIRA_GET_ALL_PROJECTS - List projects to find project key [Prerequisite]
