Feature Request: Add tool to edit existing Jira issue comments #140

@rdalida

Description

@rdalida

Summary

Please add a tool to edit an existing Jira issue comment.

The current Jira tooling appears to support adding comments, but not updating a comment in place.

Requested capability

A tool such as:

  • editJiraIssueComment
  • or updateJiraIssueComment

Suggested inputs:

  • cloudId
  • issueIdOrKey
  • commentId
  • commentBody
  • contentFormat
  • responseContentFormat

Suggested behavior:

  • update the existing comment body in place
  • support markdown and/or ADF
  • respect Jira permissions
  • return the updated comment metadata

Why this matters

Without comment editing, clients have to add a new comment every time content changes. That creates unnecessary comment noise and makes Jira comment workflows less complete.

Environment

Using the Atlassian Rovo MCP Server through an MCP-compatible client. Adding Jira comments works; editing existing Jira comments does not appear to be exposed as a tool.
