Intro

mcp-atlassian is an MCP server for Jira and Confluence so your agent can search, create, and update issues/pages via IDE MCP configuration.

  • Best for: teams who live in Jira + Confluence and want agents to read/write with auditability through tool calls
  • Works with: Claude Desktop or Cursor MCP configs, uvx runner, Atlassian Cloud API tokens or Server/Data Center personal tokens
  • Setup time: 15–30 minutes

Practical Notes

  • README claims 72 tools total and includes a compatibility table (Cloud + Server/Data Center versions).
  • Config example uses uvx and environment variables for Jira and Confluence credentials.

How to Keep It Safe in Production

Jira/Confluence write access is powerful. Guardrails:

  • Use least-privilege credentials (separate service account if possible).
  • Keep tokens out of the repo; load them via your MCP client’s env management.
  • Start with read-only workflows (search, get issue/page) before enabling create/update flows.

Common “Good” Agent Tasks

  • Find issues assigned to a user via JQL, then summarize into a standup note.
  • Search Confluence for onboarding pages and compile a checklist for new hires.

FAQ

Q: Does it support on-prem Atlassian? A: Yes—README states Server/Data Center is supported and notes using personal access tokens.

Q: How is it configured? A: Via MCP client config; README shows uvx command and env var setup.

Q: How many tools are included? A: README states 72 tools total (see Tools Reference in docs).
