Integrated Vindex: the options in detail
Jira Forge app
Automatic INVEST scoring on every issue, rendered inside a native Jira Issue Panel. Zero code.
- Best for
- Jira Cloud teams that want hands-off scoring and analytics in the tool they already work in.
- Scoring delivery
- Asynchronous. The app forwards each issue event to Vindex and receives the score back via a signed webtrigger callback.
- What you need
- Jira site admin to install. Vindex account links automatically.
CSV upload
Drag in a backlog export and see INVEST scores for your first stories; no install, no account.
- Best for
- Trying Vindex, auditing a backlog from any tracker, or one-off analysis before committing to an integration.
- Scoring delivery
- Request/response. Upload, map columns, then poll until scoring completes and the aggregate report is returned.
- What you need
- None. Public and rate-limited per IP.
Direct API
The same HTTP API the Forge app uses. Score from your own services, trackers, or data pipelines.
- Best for
- Custom integrations with internal tools, CI checks, and feeding scores into your own dashboards.
- Scoring delivery
- Your choice: a synchronous call that returns the score inline, or an asynchronous submit + webhook callback.
- What you need
- Register once to exchange a shared secret for a customer ID and API key.
Azure DevOps
Native Marketplace extension: automatic INVEST scoring on work items, surfaced in a work item form panel.
- Best for
- Azure DevOps organizations that want hands-off scoring on Boards work items, at parity with the Jira integration.
- Scoring delivery
- Asynchronous. Service Hooks feed Vindex on work item create and update; scores are written back for the panel to read.
- What you need
- Organization admin to install and connect. 5 free stories with no signup.
Asana
In-task Vindex Score and Band custom fields plus a scoring widget, mirroring the Jira surfaces.
- Best for
- Asana workspaces that want the same INVEST scoring and analytics as the Jira integration.
- Scoring delivery
- Asynchronous. Task webhooks feed Vindex; scores are written back to native custom fields.
- What you need
- Workspace admin to install (OAuth). 5 free stories with no signup.
AI client (MCP)
A remote MCP server for Claude, ChatGPT, Codex, Cursor, and GitHub Copilot: score a story from the chat, or let a coding agent check one before it builds.
- Best for
- Product owners who draft stories in an assistant, and teams whose coding agents pick up stories and need a ready check first.
- Scoring delivery
- Synchronous. The assistant calls score_story and receives the full result in the same call, usually in 2 to 10 seconds. One story per call.
- What you need
- Any registered Vindex user; sign in once from the client. 100 free stories with a Vindex account.
