Perplexity

Update sprint issues directly from Cline

Using the `get_sprint_issues` tool brings the active sprint scope directly into your VS Code environment. Cline reads this data to understand your current sprint scope and matches tasks to your local code files. Matching tickets to your working files happens without manual searching. When you finish a task, the agent uses `update_sprint` to update the sprint status or close it out. Rollover tasks get shifted automatically if the agent runs `move_issues_to_backlog`. Your sprint board stays in sync with your actual codebase.

Let this MCP Server organize your epics

The `get_board_epics` tool retrieves all epics associated with your project board. Grouping your codebase files by feature area is handled by the agent using this data. Your code architecture aligns perfectly with your product roadmap. Organizing newly created tasks under their parent epics is done via `move_issues_to_epic`. To make sure your team focuses on high-priority initiatives, it executes `rank_epics`.

Connect your code commits to Jira via Cline

Sending your local branch info to Jira is handled by the `store_dev_info` tool. Right after staging and committing your changes, the agent executes this tool. Your actual code files connect directly to the corresponding issues. Logging new flags in the codebase happens when the agent runs `submit_feature_flags`. Security issues found during local test runs are reported via `submit_vulnerabilities`.
