Introduction into Jira Integrations
Your team works across a multitude of apps. Luckily, Jira has more than 3,000 integrations to make it easy to connect your favorite tools and streamline your team’s workflow.
By linking Jira with apps for communication, development, and collaboration, you can automate tasks and keep all your work in sync. In this article, we’ll explore the benefits of Jira integrations and how to get started.
What are Jira integrations?
A Jira integration is an installable app that supplements or enhances the functionality of Jira Cloud. You can find over 3,000 apps for Jira in Atlassian Marketplace that plug directly into your instance, adding capabilities that aren't available natively or connecting Jira to other tools your team already uses.
Common examples include apps for AI-assisted workflows, time tracking, reporting, test management, design handoff, and connecting Jira to external platforms like Salesforce or Azure DevOps.
Apps by category
Below is an overview of the most commonly used categories of Marketplace apps for Jira, with examples of what they do and who typically uses them.
🤖 AI coding agents
A number of Marketplace apps connect Jira to AI coding agents and build AI-native workflows. These apps let you use Jira work items as the starting point for AI software development, so engineers can go from a scoped ticket to working code without leaving their tools.
Built on Anthropic’s Claude Managed Agents infrastructure, Claude Agent for Jira lets you assign work items directly to Claude. | Assign Jira work items directly to Cursor and a cloud agent picks them up and starts working, no context switching required. | Assign a Jira work item to GitHub Copilot and it generates the code, opens a pull request, and streams progress back to the ticket. |
Here’s an example of how to install Cursor in Jira:

How to find the right app
With thousands of apps available, here's how to find the right one for you and your team:
Search by tool or use case - Head to the Marketplace and search for the tool you want to connect (e.g. "Salesforce") or the problem you want to solve (e.g. "time tracking").
Filter by top-rated or trending - Use Marketplace filters to surface the most popular and highest-rated apps in each category.
What do the “trust signals” in the app listings mean?
Cloud Fortified - Cloud Fortified apps meet Atlassian's highest standards for reliability, security, and support. It's the clearest signal that an app is enterprise-ready.
Runs on Atlassian - This badge identifies apps that run fully inside Atlassian's own infrastructure. For teams with strict data residency or security requirements, this significantly simplifies procurement and security review.
Try before you buy - Almost all Marketplace apps offer a free 30-day trial. Install it, test it with your team, and subscribe only if it delivers value.
