Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Yes. This project does not seem to support API tokens with Scope, which is documented here: https://support.atlassian.com/atlassian-account/docs/manage-api-tokens-for-your-atlassian-account/
Describe the solution you'd like

For API tokens with scope, add a --cloud-id field and prepare requests to {{https://api.atlassian.com/ex/jira/{cloudId}}, instead of individual domain names
Describe alternatives you've considered

yeah, it would be great to be able to use a read only token when using with ai agents

feat: Implement support for Atlassian Scoped User Tokens

Looks like it's possible to get it working with scoped API tokens:

jira init \
        --installation cloud \
        --server https://api.atlassian.com/ex/jira/<your cloud id here> \
        --login <your email here> \
        --force

This worked for me!

The scopes I gave it were:

read:account
read:jira-user
read:jira-work
read:me
read:board-scope:jira-software
read:project:jira

Add --scoped-token to jira init for Atlassian scoped API tokens (#45)
