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 API token authentication. You need to provide your Atlassian account email address as the username and a Jira API token (generated from https://id.atlassian.com/manage-profile/security/api-tokens) as the password.

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 including creating issues, updating issues, deleting issues, assigning issues, creating and updating comments, and deleting comments. However, some write operations like logging time and transitioning issues are not currently supported.

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?
