ADoor vs Jira
Jira is Atlassian's project and issue tracker, with a remote MCP server. ADoor, your data account, keeps structured records that aren't tickets, which people, apps and assistants like ChatGPT share with access per field and entry.
Where ADoor stands out
Records, not tickets
In Jira, work is tracked as issues in projects. In ADoor, each list has its own fields and you query it in SQL.
Access per field
In ADoor you can share a list without one field, or let someone see only the entries where a field equals their name.
Short-lived CI access
A GitHub Actions job gets ADoor access for 15 minutes by default, with no stored secret.
The products
Jira
Jira is Atlassian's project and issue tracking, with workflows and Atlassian's admin tools.
- Assistants
- The Atlassian remote MCP server at mcp.atlassian.com/v2/mcp, with OAuth 2.1 or an API token
- Plans
- Free for up to 10 users. Standard is $8.48 per user a month.
ADoor
ADoor is your data account. You keep lists and tables in a workspace you own, personal or team: a reading list, an incident log, a list of customers. Describe what you want to keep track of and it's set up for you, with real Postgres underneath. Every person, app, assistant, device and job gets its own access.
- Assistants
- ChatGPT, Claude, Grok and Cursor connect through MCP with a sign-in.
- Apps and scripts
- An HTTP API with keys, running the same actions assistants use
- Access
- Per space, list or field, or just the entries where a field equals a value you choose. Reading, adding, editing and deleting entries, and changing a list's fields, are separate permissions. An assistant never gets more than the person who connected it.
- Approvals
- Agents ask for more access and you approve or deny. A new device signs in only after you approve it and choose its access.
- CI jobs
- GitHub Actions signs in with short-lived access, 15 minutes by default and up to 30 days, with no stored secret.
- Revoking
- Takes effect on the next request. What was already saved stays.
- History
- A history of changes, with who made each one and the before and after
- Underneath
- Standard Postgres
- Plans
- Free for 3 tables and 100 rows. Pro is $10 a month per workspace, with 1 GB of storage.
