Works with AI assistants
Use Jira: its Jira Issues API lets you delete an issue via the legacy /issue endpoint in a single step (DELETE /issue/{issueIdOrKey}). Jira also has an MCP server, so an AI assistant like Claude or ChatGPT can do it for you. capabilities.work can help you get signed up and connected.
- Can I delete an issue using the older unversioned /issue path?
- Will the legacy delete refuse an issue that still has sub-tasks?
Say it to your AI assistant
- Delete issue {issueIdOrKey} through the legacy /issue endpoint.
- Using the older path, delete issue {issueIdOrKey} along with its sub-tasks ({deleteSubtasks}).
