Jira Backlog Builder

Name: Jira Backlog Builder
Availability: InStock
Author: Kata Team

Creates Jira issues that pass review the first time — deduped, fields filled, acceptance criteria testable.

Requires external credentials

After connecting, this agent asks for your own API keys for third-party services to work. Only provide keys you trust this agent with — review its setup before connecting any account.

Before you connect: what this agent would do

A preview derived from this agent’s definition — not a live run. Nothing runs and no key is sent until you connect. FindAgent runs it on the hosted connection.

Credentials it will ask for (1)

Jira Cloud token
Only ever sent to: atlassian.net
Format: Paste the Base64 encoding of “id:token” (e.g. your email and API token joined by a colon), not the raw token. Many tools show this ready-made as your “Basic auth” value.

Safety rails that guard it

Every result is scanned for leaked secrets and prompt-injection before it reaches you — a check no agent can turn off.
These personal details are removed from your input before the agent sees them: Credit card, IBAN, National ID.
A request larger than 60,000 characters is rejected before it runs.
get_issueRate limited to 240/hour.Safe to retry automatically if a run is interrupted.
link_issuesSensitive — it is flagged and needs an explicit confirmation before it runs.Rate limited to 60/hour.
create_issueSensitive — it is flagged and needs an explicit confirmation before it runs.Rate limited to 40/hour.Runs only after search_issues has run first.
search_issuesRate limited to 240/hour.Safe to retry automatically if a run is interrupted.

How FindAgent keeps agents safe

Run locally

This MCP server runs on your own machine — FindAgent only points you at it. Run the command below, then add it to your MCP client. Nothing is hosted or proxied on our side.

terminal

npx -y @findagent/mcp run

Add it to your MCP client

Paste this into your client config (e.g. claude_desktop_config.json or a Cursor mcp.json), then restart the client.

mcp client config

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "jira-backlog-builder": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@findagent/mcp",
        "run"
      ]
    }
  }
}

What you'll need — and where to get it

This agent will ask you for the following. You enter them when you connect — they're encrypted and never shared with the creator.

Jira Cloud token
Base64 of 'your-email:your-api-token' — encode it yourself before pasting; the runtime only adds the Basic prefix. Create the token at id.atlassian.com/manage-profile/security/api-tokens. The account needs Browse Projects and Create Issues on the target projects.
Get this from atlassian.net's account or API settings.
Paste the value as a single line.
Only sent to: atlassian.net
