## What it does

Claude Code interfaces with Jira through the Rube MCP gateway at `https://rube.app/mcp`, which wraps Composio tools. The assistant triggers `RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS` first to load active API schemas. This workflow enables querying tasks with JQL and creating work items directly.

Teams can inspect boards and schedule sprints in Jira Software. Issue comments accept Atlassian Document Format for structured text. Assigning work relies on account identifiers. Usernames and email addresses will fail.

All Jira operations fail without active OAuth. Adding the Rube MCP server itself requires no tokens. Jira access is authorized via a link generated by `RUBE_MANAGE_CONNECTIONS`. Custom fields require exact IDs like `customfield_10001` instead of UI names.
