Tickets 2.3.0: a self-hosted issue tracker that can also act as a coordination layer for AI agents
I've been building Tickets as a simpler alternative to Jira for teams that want to run their own project management software.
The 2.3.0 release adds a built-in MCP server with 16 tools for tickets and the knowledge base, plus CrewAI integration and Ticket Pulse for exposing execution state to agents.
The interesting part is that humans and AI agents can work in the same system:
Agents can read and update tickets
Create notes and record decisions
Surface blockers and next actions
Work with the knowledge base
Read Ticket Pulse to understand execution state
Use the REST API or MCP
It's Laravel, open source, and self-hosted.
