Trackers for coding agents, compared
Jira, Linear, GitHub and Shortcut can now hand a ticket to an agent[1],[5],[10],[12]. AgentMingo starts from the other side: the coding agent threads your developers already run on their own computers. Here's how they line up, and when each one is the better pick.
Free during the open beta. Works with Claude Code today; Codex and more are next. On macOS or Linux.
At a glance
The middle column is what each product's own docs say it does with agents. The last is what AgentMingo does with that product today. Every fact about another product has its source at the foot of the page.
| Tool | Hands work to agents (their docs) | With AgentMingo today |
|---|---|---|
| Jira | Start the Jira Coding Agent from a work item, and it works in a cloud sandbox; or assign work items to partner agents such as GitHub Copilot and Cursor. Atlassian's MCP server lets MCP clients read and write Jira.[1],[2],[3],[4] | Follow Jira projects: their issues become tasks, kept in sync. A thread on a branch named WEB-12-… starts with the issue. |
| Linear | Delegate an issue to an agent, such as Cursor, Codex, Devin or GitHub Copilot, while a teammate stays the assignee. Linear Agent's coding sessions run in a cloud sandbox. Linear also hosts an MCP server.[5],[6],[7],[8],[9] | Export a task to a new Linear issue, one way. Linear issues aren't read. |
| GitHub Projects | Assign an issue to Copilot, Claude or Codex, and each opens a draft pull request.[10],[11] | Pull requests, review comments, check runs and main's pushes, through the GitHub App. Export a task to a GitHub issue, one way; issues aren't read. |
| Shortcut | Assign a Story to an agent (Claude Code, Cursor and Devin are named), and connect Claude Code to its hosted MCP server.[12],[13] | Nothing reads or writes Shortcut today. |
Where AgentMingo is different
It starts from your threads
Each Claude Code thread in a connected repository reports live: what it's doing, what it waits on, its branch and its pull request. You run it as you do today, in the terminal, VS Code, Cursor or the desktop app.It keeps going after the pull request opens
Review bot comments and CI failures go back to the thread on that branch, sorted, with a cap on automatic rounds.It knows about the rest of the team
Two threads editing the same file each hear about it, and main changing a file a thread edited is told to that thread.
Side-by-side pages
And Shortcut?
Shortcut lets you assign Stories to agents, and hosts an MCP server that Claude Code can connect to[12],[13]. AgentMingo doesn't read or sync Shortcut. If your Stories live there and that works for you, stay. You can still use AgentMingo for the threads themselves (live status, review results, teammates' files) without its tasks.
Use AgentMingo without moving your tracker
Tasks are optional. Threads report, review results go back to them, and overlapping files are flagged whichever tracker you use. Without AgentMingo tasks or Jira you'd miss two things: the brief at a thread's start, and statuses that move by themselves.

Questions
Can AgentMingo import my Linear, GitHub or Shortcut issues?
No. Jira is the one tracker it reads: you follow Jira projects and their issues become tasks. A task can be exported to Linear, GitHub Issues or Jira, one way, with a link back.
Does AgentMingo run agents in the cloud like these tools?
Not today. It works with the coding agent threads you run yourself. AgentMingo's own agents are coming soon.
