I set up an MCP for jira, to hopefully avoid me from ever opening jira again.
i will just talk to the LLm, and ask it to set a task to in progress, tell me what to work on next, add tasks to sprints, tag tickets with labels / link them to epics, search for issues, create bugs / tasks etc
seems mildly helpful, with some slack mcp etc it could be useful for teams i think
i really don't want to just buy an agentic workflow from a website, so its important that i can just replace the model with whatever and that i have control of the mcp server
I once set up Jira automations and integrations so well that a developer could move a ticket all the way to ready for final PO review without actually opening up Jira, and I told my manager about this and a product manager asked in a horrified tone: "you mean they can do their work without actually reading the tickets?"
