Works with AI assistants
Use Jira: its Jira Cloud platform REST Issue watchers API lets you remove a watcher from an issue in a single step (DELETE /rest/api/3/issue/{issueIdOrKey}/watchers). 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.
