# Jira Data Center

> Connect a self-hosted Jira Data Center instance to Paradime with a Personal Access Token so DinoAI can create, update, and manage issues.

Connect a self-hosted Jira Data Center instance to Paradime so DinoAI can access Jira on your behalf using the [Jira Tool](/products/dino-ai/tools-and-features/jira-tool).

Using **Jira Cloud** instead? See [Jira Cloud](/integrations/jira/jira-cloud) for setup instructions specific to your environment.

## Prerequisites

You will need a personal API key from your Jira Data Center instance to connect. See the connection parameters below for where to find each required field.

## Step 1: Connect Jira Data Center in Paradime

To authorize Jira, go to **Settings → Integrations** (see [connecting integrations](/integrations/connecting-integrations)), find the **Jira** integration, and click **Connect**. You'll then be prompted to enter your credentials.

### Connection parameters

| **Instance Base URL** | The base URL of your Jira Data Center instance | Your self-hosted Jira URL, e.g. `https://jira.your-org.com`                                                |
| **API Key**           | A personal API key to authenticate requests    | In Jira Data Center, go to your **Profile** → **Settings** → **Personal Access Tokens** → **Create token** |

Once all fields are filled in, click **Connect** to complete the connection.
