Connect Jira so Myrmex can read and work with your projects, issues, workflows, and boards. Myrmex operates the Jira REST API live using an API token — reading and acting on demand, with nothing stored on the Myrmex side.

​
What Myrmex Can Do

Read projects & issues

Inspect projects, issues, workflows, and boards, along with their status.

Look up work

Check issue activity and current status on demand for investigations.

Update issues

Create and update issues — with approval for changes, via Hydra.

Correlate

Tie issues to security findings and other integrations.

​
Before You Start

  • Your Jira site URL (for example your-domain.atlassian.net).
  • An Atlassian account with access to the projects Myrmex should see.
  • Permission to create an API token on that account.

​
Step 1 — Create the API Token in Jira

Jira authenticates with an API token that Myrmex sends as a bearer token.
1

Sign in to Atlassian

Log in with the account Myrmex should use.
2

Open API token management

Go to Account Settings → Security → Create and manage API tokens.
3

Create and copy the token

Create a token, give it a label (for example Myrmex), set an expiry, and copy it — it’s shown only once.
The token inherits the account’s permissions. Use a dedicated account scoped to the right projects for least privilege.

​
Step 2 — Add the Integration in Myrmex

From the Directory, choose Add Integration → Jira, then fill in:

​
Connect

Click Connect to validate the connection and finish. Jira then appears under Environment → Integrations. New to integrations? See the Integrations overview.
