89/100freemiumexplicit relation

Fast, opinionated project management for software teams with a keyboard-first interface, cycles, roadmaps, and deep GitHub/GitLab integration. Used by Vercel, Anthropic, and Coinbase. The modern Jira alternative that engineering teams actually enjoy using, with a clean design and responsive UI that makes issue tracking feel effortless rather than burdensome.

Atlassian MCP Server

open sourceexplicit relation

Atlassian's official remote MCP server connects Jira and Confluence to LLM clients, IDEs, and agent platforms over OAuth, so Claude, Cursor, and other MCP-aware tools can search issues, read pages, and post updates inside the same permission boundaries users already have. As a vendor-hosted reference implementation, it standardizes the Atlassian side of remote Model Context Protocol deployments.

Free to use; included with active Jira and Confluence subscriptions. The server itself adds no extra cost, but underlying Atlassian product licensing applies.
