FAQ

What permissions do I need?

Your Atlassian account needs access to Jira with appropriate permissions for the projects you want to query, and an API token with appropriate permissions (automatically granted when you create one).

Can I use this with Jira Server (on-premise)?

Currently, this tool only supports Jira Cloud. Jira Server/Data Center support may be added in future versions.
