# Setup

## Requirements

You need:

* A Jira Cloud account
* An account with Currents Admin permissions
* An account with [Jira Admin](https://www.atlassian.com/software/jira/guides/permissions/overview#what-are-users-and-groups) permissions

## Enable Jira Integration

1. In Currents, navigate to your **Project > Integrations**
2. Click **Jira App > Add Integration**
3. Click **+ Add Jira Installation** (you can have up to 3 installations)
4. Set the Installation label to your Jira namespace (e.g., `currents-dev.atlassian.com`)
5. Copy the **Installation Link Token** - you'll need this to complete the connection

## Install Currents for Jira App

1. Go to [Currents for Jira](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1238333) on Atlassian Marketplace
2. Click **Get It Now**
3. Follow the installation wizard to complete the installation

## Link Jira App

Connect Jira App to your Currents organization:

1. In Jira, go to **Settings** (upper right) **> Apps**
2. Open **Manage Apps** (`https://<your-domain>.atlassian.net/plugins/servlet/upm`)
3. Find the **User-installed** section
4. Expand **Currents for Jira** and click **Configure**
5. Paste your **Installation Link Token** and click **Link Installation**

{% hint style="warning" %}
**Important:** When you click the **Link** button, the input field will be cleared without any success or error message. This is expected behavior.

To verify the link was successful, return to your **Currents Dashboard > Project > Integrations > Jira App** and confirm the installation appears with the linked status (see example below).

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.currents.dev/resources/integrations/jira/setup.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
