Manage Jira Service Management service desks, request types, customer requests, queues, SLAs and organizations.
Jira Service Management ships in the w6w first-party pack. It declares 17 actions, 3 health checks, and the host runs its code in a sandbox that never sees the credential.
io.w6w.jira-service-managementJira Service Management (formerly Jira Service Desk) is Atlassian’s ITSM / service-desk product, hosted on the same per-tenant *.atlassian.net Jira Cloud site as Jira Software but served by its own REST surface — /rest/servicedeskapi — with its own resources: service desks, request types, customer requests, queues, SLAs and organizations. It is a distinct product surface from the sibling jira app’s issue-tracking API, not a re-wrap of it.
This app covers the customer-request lifecycle end to end: creating a request against a request type’s declared fields, reading and searching requests, listing the transitions available from a request’s current status and executing one, adding or listing comments (public or internal), and adding or listing participants. Service desks and their request types are listed and read directly, queues can be listed and their queued issues read, SLA countdowns are readable per request, and organizations round out the surface for grouping customers.
Authentication mirrors the sibling jira app’s two Atlassian Cloud methods — Basic auth with an account email + API token against the site’s own host, or OAuth 2.0 (3LO) against Atlassian’s api.atlassian.com gateway, which resolves a cloudId after the token is issued. A request’s rich-text fields (description, comment bodies) are plain strings by default here — unlike Jira Software’s own v3 API, which requires Atlassian Document Format — and only become ADF when a caller opts in per-request.
Out of scope for this first version: attachments (multipart upload, which the sandbox’s ctx.fetch is not suited for), approvals, the knowledge base, and customer/organization membership management (all of which need either multipart or additional experimental-API opt-in headers this app deliberately does not add without a documented, stable contract).
Three routes to the same 17 actions. The Workflow tab is generated from Jira Service Management's own manifest and carries its real ids, so it is copy-pasteable; the Code and CLI examples are the same call for any action on any app, so every app-specific value in them is a blank you fill in.
organization-get-many List organizations, optionally filtered to those a customer account belongs to.
queue-get-issues List the requests currently sitting in one of a service desk's queues.
request-create Raise a new customer request against a service desk's request type.
request-get-status List the status conditions a request has moved through.
request-get-transitions List the transitions a customer can currently perform on a request.
request-search List/search customer requests this connection can see, with optional filters.
request-transition Move a request through its workflow. Use `request-get-transitions` to find the id.
requesttype-get-many List the request types offered by a service desk, optionally filtered.
sla-get-many List the SLAs tracked on a request, with ongoing and completed cycle timing.
A workflow step names the app and the action, and the editor fills in the
connection when you pick one. This is the Step shape from the
workflow spec, carrying Jira Service Management's real ids.

Every app-specific value here is a blank you have to fill in. An
app action is reached through the connection that authenticates it, so the
address is a connection id, not the app id — and connections belong to your account,
so a public page cannot know yours. Create one for Jira Service Management, then fill in
the three blanks: conn_YOUR_CONNECTION_ID, the action key, and the
parameters that action declares. The call itself is real — the shape is transcribed
from the studio's own snippet builder, which prints the same kind of blanks — but
nothing in it is specific to Jira Service Management. The Workflow tab is where this app's
real ids are.

One MCP endpoint exposes every app, function and workflow the caller is entitled to, as tools it can discover and run. Access is granted per team while we onboard.
One tool call{
"name": "w6w_invoke",
"arguments": {
"ref": "app:io.w6w.jira-service-management#comment-add",
"input": {
"issueIdOrKey": "<issueIdOrKey>",
"body": "<body>"
}
}
}
Every tool names its target with a single ref. The
app: form above doesn't name a connection at all — the
host resolves which of the caller's Jira Service Management connections to sign
with, and refuses rather than guesses when the answer is ambiguous.
The token is attached host-side, at the moment of the call. It is never a tool argument, never in the model's context, and never in a transcript — so a prompt injection has nothing to exfiltrate.
Tools are derived per end user from what that person has actually connected and is entitled to — not one shared bot identity carrying the union of everyone's access.
Multi-step work runs on the workflow engine and returns a run handle the agent can poll — retries, branching and state survive the conversation that started them.
Jira Service Management's declared health checks are on the surface too, so an agent can tell "the vendor is down" from "your credential expired" before it burns a retry on either.
The MCP surface is part of the hosted platform. Jira Service Management itself is MIT, and the runtime that executes it is source-available (FSL).
Jira Service Management declares its own checks, so its health is a property of the app rather than something the host guesses at.
