Jira
API keyProject ManagementOrg connection
Org-level connection
Jira is connected once at the org level by an admin. The credential is shared across all groups that have been granted access — individual team members don't need to connect their own accounts.
Getting your API key
Enter your Atlassian domain (e.g. mycompany from mycompany.atlassian.net) and your Atlassian account email in the fields above
Go to id.atlassian.com → Security → API tokens → Create and manage API tokens
Click "Create API token", give it a label (e.g. "On Belay")
Copy the token and paste it below
Ready to connect?
Sign in to On Belay and open the Integrations page to add Jira.
Permissions (scopes)
These are the data scopes On Belay can be granted for Jira. Your org admin controls which scopes are enabled per group.
| Scope | Description | Access |
|---|---|---|
issues:read | Read issues | Read only |
issues:write | Write issues | Read / Write |
projects:read | Read projects | Read only |
boards:read | Read boards & sprints | Read only |
users:read | Read users | Read only |
Troubleshooting
"Invalid API key" or "Unauthorized" error
Double-check that you copied the full key without any leading/trailing spaces. Some platforms show a truncated preview — make sure to copy the full token. If the key was generated with restricted scopes, verify it includes the permissions listed above.
Connected but Claude can't access data
Check that your group has been granted access to this integration in On Belay → Groups → [your group] → Integrations. Also verify the specific scopes your group is permitted to use match what your query requires.
The key expires or stops working
Some API keys have expiration policies. Generate a new key in Jira and update it in On Belay → Integrations → Jira → Update key. Consider creating a dedicated service account or machine user for On Belay so the key isn't tied to a personal account.
