### Connect Bito's AI Architect with your tools

AI Architect integrates with the tools you already use — from AI coding agents to project management and communication platforms.

#### Quick MCP integration with AI coding agents (Claude Code, Cursor, etc.)

Using the **Bito MCP URL** and **Bito MCP Access Token**, you can connect AI Architect to your AI coding tools through an automated installer.

The installer will automatically configure AI Architect for all compatible AI coding tools on your system.

#### Integrating with Jira

AI Architect integrates directly with your Jira workspace to bring codebase intelligence into the planning phase. When an Epic or Story is created, AI Architect automatically analyzes your codebase and past tickets to generate a structured plan — covering feasibility assessment, technical design, and story breakdown — directly inside Jira.

#### Integrating with Linear

Connect AI Architect with Linear to bring codebase-aware planning into your Linear workspace. AI Architect can analyze your codebase in the context of Linear issues to help teams move faster from planning to implementation.
