Use Agent Mode to create Jira issues

You can use Agent Mode to create Jira issues from your HTTP collections, collection runs, responses, or monitor results in Postman. If you have already connected your Jira account to your Postman account, you can use the Agent Mode text box and instruct it to create a Jira issue. Enter your request in plain text in the Agent Mode text box and press the Return or Enter key. Agent Mode proposes a Jira project in which to create the issue, and a type of issue to create. You can select the proposed project and issue type or select a different project and issue type. You can also edit the summary and description of the issue before you create it.

If you haven’t yet connected your Jira account to your Postman account, Agent Mode prompts you to connect to the Atlassian MCP Server and authenticate your Jira account. Once the connection is established, Agent Mode can create Jira issues for you.

With Jira and Postman, you can see the status of all open issues, track your project’s status, and assess your API’s performance, all from Postman.
