# JirAI: FAQ and known limitations

> For the complete documentation index, see [llms.txt](https://edgafner.github.io/llms.txt).

## General questions

Does JirAI support Jira Server or Jira Data Center?
: No. JirAI works with Jira Cloud only.
:
:
:
: Jira Server and Jira Data Center use a different API and sign-in model.

How does the free trial work?
: JirAI is a paid plugin with a 7-day free trial.
:
:
:
: Start the trial or activate a license in `Help | Register`.
:
:
:
: See [Licensing and free trial](jirai-installation.html#licensing-and-trial).

Does JirAI collect telemetry or send my code anywhere?
: No. JirAI has no telemetry or analytics, and it does not read or send your source code.
:
:
:
: Requests with your credentials go only to the Jira site you signed in to.
:
:
:
: Markdown documents are sent to Jira only when you push them.

Why does the issue list show only issues from the last 365 days?
: Every search and filter in the issue list covers issues created in the last 365 days.
:
:
:
: To open an older issue, type its key, for example `DEMO-123`, in the search field.
:
:
:
: See [Search and sort](work-with-jira-issues.html#search-and-sort).

Can I connect to several Jira sites?
: No. JirAI connects to one Jira Cloud site at a time.
:
:
:
: To switch sites, sign out and then sign in to the other site.
:
:
:
: See [Switch sites or replace the API token](jirai-sign-in-and-configuration.html#switch-site-or-token).

Can I see delivery metrics such as cycle time?
: Yes. Open a space with Space Summary and use the Reports tab.
:
:
:
: See [Space summary, list and reports](jirai-metrics.html).

## Troubleshooting

Why is the issue list empty after I sign in?
: The list starts with the Assigned to Me quick filter and shows only issues created in the last 365 days.
:
:
:
: If no such issue is assigned to you, the list reads Nothing matches the filters.
:
:
:
: To see all issues, click Clear filters, or choose All Issues in the Filters menu.
:
:
:
: See [Filter the list](work-with-jira-issues.html#filters).

My AI assistant does not see the JirAI tools. Why?
: The tools need the IDE's MCP server, which is off by default.
:
:
:
: Turn it on in `Settings | Tools | MCP Server`, configure your assistant with Auto-Configure and check Exposed Tools.
:
:
:
: The IDE must be running with a project open.
:
:
:
: See [Turn on the agent tools](jirai-agent-tools.html#enable-agent-tools).

Why can't I edit a description?
: The description contains content that has no Markdown equivalent, such as a table, a panel or an image.
:
:
:
: Saving it from the IDE would lose that content, so JirAI shows the reason and an Open in browser link.
:
:
:
: See [Descriptions you can edit only in Jira](jira-timeline-and-description-editor.html#description-readonly).

Why is a board marked Limited?
: It is a team-managed board.
:
:
:
: Team-managed boards do not open in the IDE; choosing one opens it in Jira.

Why does my Scrum board show only some of its sprints?
: The Board tab shows a Scrum board's active sprint.
:
:
:
: When a board has more than one active sprint, it shows the first and names the others in a notice.

Why does JirAI say I am not signed in, or that the sign-in was rejected?
: JirAI shows Not signed in to Jira, or the sign-in was rejected. when Jira no longer accepts your API token, for example because the token expired or was revoked.
:
:
:
: Create a new API token, then sign out and sign in again in the JirAI tool window.
:
:
:
: See [Switch sites or replace the API token](jirai-sign-in-and-configuration.html#switch-site-or-token).

Where is my API token stored?
: In the IDE credential store, which is the operating system keychain or the IDE's KeePass file.
:
:
:
: Under Remote Development, it is stored on the host.
:
:
:
: See [Where JirAI stores credentials](jirai-sign-in-and-configuration.html#credential-storage).

How do I use JirAI behind a corporate proxy?
: JirAI uses the proxy in `Settings | Appearance & Behavior | System Settings | HTTP Proxy`.
:
:
:
: SOCKS proxies are not supported: with a SOCKS proxy set, JirAI connects to Jira directly.
:
:
:
: See [Use JirAI behind a corporate proxy](jirai-sign-in-and-configuration.html#corporate-proxy).

How do I report a problem?
: See [Support](jirai-reference-and-support.html) for where to report it and what to include.
