Backlog.md – Markdown‑native Task Manager and Kanban visualizer for any Git repo

Is there an alternative that integrates with a Jira instance?

Many of my tasks already exists in forms of a Jira ticket, would be interesting to prompt it to take over a specific ticket & update its ticket progress as well.

For such kind of tasks I would go with Taskmaster AI. It had mcp integration and probably could connect with jira.

Backlog is more for smaller projects where you wouldn’t normally have a project management tool
