Endigest AI Core Summary
This tutorial explains how to connect Jira to GitLab Duo Agent Platform using the Model Context Protocol (MCP) to reduce context switching in development workflows.
•GitLab Duo Agent Platform acts as an MCP client that connects to the Atlassian MCP server, translating natural language requests into Jira API calls
•Setup requires creating an OAuth 2.0 application in the Atlassian Developer Console with specific scopes: read:jira-work, write:jira-work, and read:jira-user
•The MCP configuration is defined in a .gitlab/duo/mcp.json file within the GitLab project, referencing the OAuth credentials
•Three practical use cases are demonstrated: sprint planning assistance, bug triage and issue creation from code, and cross-system incident investigation
•
A built-in MCP Dashboard in VS Code shows connection status, available tools (e.g., jira_get_issue, jira_create_issue), and real-time server logs
