The Jira and GitHub integrations let you link items to the work that implements them: Jira issues and GitHub pull requests. Once connected, linked issues and pull requests appear in the External section of an item's details sidebar, with their current status pulled from Jira or GitHub.
Both integrations are set up on Organization settings > Integrations. Click the gear icon at the top of the left sidebar, choose Organization settings, then Integrations. Only org admins see the Integrations section on this page. The same page also holds the MCP server setup and API clients, covered in MCP server setup and API clients.
Connecting Jira
In the Jira box, click Connect.
You are sent to Atlassian to sign in and approve access for Trace.Space. The app asks to read and write Jira work items and to keep the connection alive.
Choose the Jira site you want to connect. After you approve, you return to the Integrations page.
The Jira box now shows which site is connected, who connected it and when.
What the Jira integration does
Once Jira is connected, an item's details sidebar gets a Jira issue button in the External section (you need edit access on the item). Click it, type to search your Jira issues by key or summary, and pick one to link it. The linked issue shows its key and summary in the sidebar. Click the key to see its summary, assignee, status and priority, and use the arrow icon to open it in Jira. Hover over the row to remove the link.
Connecting GitHub
In the GitHub box, click Connect.
You are sent to GitHub to install the Trace.Space GitHub App. Pick the organization or account, and which repositories the app may access.
After the installation you return to the Integrations page. The GitHub box shows the installation ID.
What the GitHub integration does
The GitHub integration links items to pull requests in two ways.
Automatically from your git workflow. When a pull request is opened or updated in a repository the app can access, Trace.Space reads the pull request title, description, branch name and commit messages. Any item short ID it finds there, for example
REQ-ABCD, becomes a link from that item to the pull request. To make this easy, every item's sidebar has a Copy git branch name button that copies a branch name starting with the item's short ID.Manually. In the External section of an item's sidebar, click GitHub PR, paste the pull request URL and pick the result to link it.
Linked pull requests show their number, state and title in the sidebar. Click the number for more detail, and hover over the row to remove the link.
Disconnecting
In the Jira or GitHub box, click Disconnect and confirm. Disconnecting removes all current links to Jira issues or GitHub pull requests in the organization, and it cannot be undone. Disconnecting GitHub also uninstalls the app from your GitHub organization.
