Add a watcher to an issue
with Jira
Works with AI assistants
Use Jira: its Jira Cloud platform REST Issue watchers API lets you add a watcher to an issue in a single step (POST /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.
- How do I add someone as a watcher on an issue?
- If I don't specify a user, am I added as the watcher myself?
Say it to your AI assistant
- Start watching issue {issueIdOrKey} myself.
- Add a watcher to issue {issueIdOrKey}.
For your developer
