Supported Providers

Detection Priority

You MUST detect providers in this order:

1. URL-based detection (highest confidence)

- Linear: URL contains linear.app - JIRA: URL contains atlassian.net/browse or .jira.com

1. Context-based detection (if no URL)

- Check if user mentioned provider name earlier in conversation - Check for active issue context from previous commands

1. ID-only detection (lowest confidence)

- Issue ID pattern [A-Z]{2,5}-\d+ could be Linear OR JIRA - You SHOULD ask user to clarify if provider is ambiguous

MCP Availability Check

Before performing any operation, you MUST verify the required MCP is available:

For Linear

Check if tools starting with mcp__pluginlinearlinear__ are accessible.

For JIRA

Check if tools starting with mcp__atlassian_jira__ are accessible.

Handling Missing MCP

If the required MCP is not available:

1. You MUST inform the user clearly:

`` The [Provider] MCP is not configured. To use issue tracking with [Provider]: 1. Install the official [Provider] plugin: claude plugin install [provider]@claude-plugins-official 2. Authenticate when prompted ``

1. You MUST NOT attempt to call unavailable MCP tools
2. You SHOULD offer to continue without issue tracking
