​
What it enables

​
Automatic business logic validation

When a PR is linked to a Jira ticket, Fossa automatically:
  • Fetches the ticket title, description, and acceptance criteria
  • Compares the PR diff against the requirements
  • Reports missing implementations, scope mismatches, and gaps

​
On-demand validation

Paste any Jira URL in a PR comment:

​
Richer code review context

With Jira connected, Fossy can use MCP functions in your rules to fetch task context, check issue status, and cross-reference requirements.

​
Requirements

  • Jira Cloud or Jira Data Center
  • OAuth or API token access
  • Permissions to read the relevant projects
