Is it (or will it be) possible to create Insights in Jira Product Discovery via API or MCP?

[Kamal Hami-Eddine]

Hi everyone,

I'm looking for the current status, and any roadmap visibility, on programmatically **creating Insights** on JPD ideas, either through the REST API or through the Atlassian MCP server.

Today I can read and manipulate a lot of JPD data programmatically, but I haven't found a supported way to *write* Insights onto an idea. From what I can tell, Insights still have to be added manually in the UI. Please correct me if I've missed an endpoint or an MCP capability.

**Why this matters for us**

We've automated a large part of our discovery pipeline (collecting customer feedback, support tickets, research notes, etc.). In that context, writing Insights by hand has very little value: the content already exists upstream and is processed automatically. What we actually need is the ability to have insights *reviewed and pushed automatically*, for example via MCP, so the human effort goes into deciding what's relevant rather than copy-pasting it into JPD. Insights can be powerful to evaluate how a discovery goes, and at which pace, but manual writing prevents us from using it today. 

**My questions**

1. Is there currently any supported way to create an Insight on a JPD idea via the public REST API?
2. Is creating Insights on the roadmap for the Atlassian MCP server?
3. If neither exists today, is there a planned timeline, or an existing feature request I should vote on / follow?

Thanks a lot, happy to share more about our use case if it helps.

Hi @Kamal Hami-Eddine you can do both today. From the FAQ:

Does Jira Product Discovery have an API?

[...]

• We have a public API for insights

[...]

How can I read or create JPD insights via the Atlassian MCP in RovoDev or Claude?

You can't do that yet, however you can achieve the same outcome by using instructions from this post (which gives Claude/Rovo Dev instructions for how to use the Insights API).

Hi,

Thanks for the pointer. This API is not available through any MCP officially published my Atlassian, right ?

Best.

That's correct

Hi @Kamal Hami-Eddine 

As of today, there's no public REST API endpoint or MCP capability for writing Insights to JPD ideas. You can read a lot of JPD data through the API, but Insight creation is still locked to the UI.
