Assign work directly to Cursor in Jira

Jira teams can now assign work directly to Cursor, where a cloud agent will pick it up and begin working. Steer agents from Jira, your IDE, or Cursor on the web — and when Cursor needs input or is ready for review, it notifies you in Jira. When it opens a pull request, it's automatically linked back to your work item.

Cursor in Jira is available now with every paid Jira subscription.

How it works:

• Trigger agents directly from Jira: Assign a work item to Cursor or mention Cursor in a comment to start a new agent session for the task at hand.

• Automate workflows: Create rules that automatically assign certain tasks to Cursor, helping you tackle repetitive work and improve code quality.

• Enable the whole team to make changes: Any team member can use Cursor to start tasks and open a pull request, without needing to set up a local dev environment.

• Work with rich context: Use Rovo to enrich your task with context from across Atlassian’s Teamwork Graph, then assign to Cursor so it has more context with less manual effort.

• Enable spec-driven development flows:Automatically sync agent-readable specs with collaboration documents in Confluence, and work items, plans, and goals
