## Description

Downloads a Jira issue attachment's binary content to the configured file-stash directory and returns its saved path plus the attachment's metadata (`filename`, `mimeType`, `size`, etc.). Use this after locating an attachment via **Get Issue** (its `fields.attachment[]` array lists each attachment's `id`, `filename`, `size`, and `mimeType`), or from an attachment reference surfaced by another Jira action or trigger — pass that `id` as `attachmentId`. The file is saved in the file-stash directory as `<attachmentId>-<sanitized filename>` (the ID prefix avoids collisions when multiple attachments share the same filename); the returned `filedata` tuple points at that saved path for use in downstream file-input props. Jira's content endpoint responds with a redirect to a signed, short-lived media URL — this is followed automatically, so no extra configuration is required. [See the documentation](https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/jira/platform/rest/v3/api-group-issue-attachments/#api-rest-api-3-attachment-content-id-get)

## Props

| Prop | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| `cloudId` | `string` | Yes | The Jira Cloud site ID (for example, 11223344-a1b2-3b33-c444-def123456789). Use Get Cloud ID to discover IDs. See the documentation Options are loaded from the connected account. |
| `attachmentId` | `string` | Yes | The numeric ID of the attachment to download, e.g. 10001. This can be found in the id field of an attachment object, e.g. from an issue's fields.attachment[].id array (see the Get Issue action). |
| `syncDir` | `dir` | Yes | SyncDir |

## Run it

**MCP**

```ts
import { Client } from "@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/client/index.js"
import { StreamableHTTPClientTransport } from "@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/client/streamableHttp.js"
import { PipedreamClient } from "@pipedream/sdk"

const pd = new PipedreamClient({
  projectId: process.env.PIPEDREAM_PROJECT_ID!,
  clientId: process.env.PIPEDREAM_CLIENT_ID!,
  clientSecret: process.env.PIPEDREAM_CLIENT_SECRET!,
  projectEnvironment: "production",
})

const accessToken = await pd.rawAccessToken

const transport = new StreamableHTTPClientTransport(
  new URL("https://remote.mcp.pipedream.net/v3"),
  {
    requestInit: {
      headers: {
        Authorization: `Bearer ${accessToken}`,
        "x-pd-project-id": process.env.PIPEDREAM_PROJECT_ID!,
        "x-pd-environment": "production",
        "x-pd-external-user-id": "{external_user_id}", // any stable ID for this user in your system
        "x-pd-app-slug": "jira",
      },
    },
  },
)

const mcp = new Client({ name: "my-agent", version: "1.0.0" })
await mcp.connect(transport)

const { tools } = await mcp.listTools()

// listTools() hands your model this tool's input schema, so it can
// fill the arguments itself:
const result = await mcp.callTool({
  name: "jira-download-attachment",
  arguments: {
    cloudId: "Cloud ID",
    attachmentId: "Attachment ID",
  },
})
```

**TypeScript**

```ts
import { PipedreamClient } from "@pipedream/sdk"

const pd = new PipedreamClient({
  projectId: process.env.PIPEDREAM_PROJECT_ID!,
  clientId: process.env.PIPEDREAM_CLIENT_ID!,
  clientSecret: process.env.PIPEDREAM_CLIENT_SECRET!,
  projectEnvironment: "production",
})

const result = await pd.actions.run({
  id: "jira-download-attachment",
  externalUserId: "{external_user_id}", // any stable ID for this user in your system
  configuredProps: {
    jira: { authProvisionId: "apn_xxxxxxx" },
    cloudId: "Cloud ID",
    attachmentId: "Attachment ID",
  },
})

console.log(result)
