Cursor in Jira brings agents into tickets

2026-05-21 · cursor

Cursor's newest integration moves agent work closer to the place teams already plan and track tasks. Jira tickets can now kick off a Cursor cloud agent, turning comments and issue context into a routed coding job.

Key Features or Updates

Teams can mention @Cursor in a Jira comment or assign a work item directly to Cursor. The agent uses the issue title, description, comments, and repo settings to scope the task, then reports back with completion updates and a pull request link.

Impact on Developers

This tightens the loop between planning and implementation. Instead of copying context into a separate tool, developers can keep work inside Jira and still get an agentic coding pass with PR output.

How to use it

Install the integration from Cursor's dashboard and make sure you have Jira Commercial Cloud with Rovo enabled. Then mention @Cursor in a ticket comment or assign the issue to Cursor to start the agent.
