Frequently Asked Questions

Didn't find your answer? Please don't hesitate to reach out.

How do I authenticate with Jira?

The Jira connector supports two authentication methods: Open source mode, where you provide your Atlassian account email and a Jira API token directly; and Hosted mode, where credentials are stored securely in Airbyte Cloud and you authenticate using your Airbyte client ID and client secret.

Can I use this connector with any AI agent framework?

The connector is compatible with any Python-based AI agent framework including LangChain, LlamaIndex, CrewAI, Pydantic AI, and custom implementations.

Does this connector support write operations?

Yes, the Jira connector supports write operations. It can create, update, and delete issues and comments, as well as update issue assignees. Note that time logging and issue transitions are currently unsupported.

How is this different from the Airbyte data connector?

Agent connectors are specifically designed for AI agents and LLM applications. They provide natural language interfaces, optimized response formats, and seamless integration with agent frameworks, unlike traditional ETL-focused connectors.

Will there be a platform for agent connectors?

The hosted version with secure credential storage through Airbyte Cloud is already available. See the hosted usage section in the documentation for setup instructions.
