atlassian/atlassian-mcp-server
Official remote MCP server for Atlassian. Securely connect Jira, Confluence, Jira Service Management, Bitbucket, and Compass to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, VS Code, and other AI tools using OAuth 2.1 or API tokens.
What you need to know
The official Atlassian Rovo MCP Server — a cloud-hosted bridge that gives AI tools secure, real-time access to Jira, Confluence, Jira Service Management, Bitbucket, and Compass, with OAuth 2.1 or API-token authentication that respects existing user permissions; Generally Available and listed on the MCP Registry as com.atlassian.
Install
One-click install buttons for Cursor, VS Code, ChatGPT, and Claude (native install links, no JSON editing). Endpoint: https://mcp.atlassian.com/v1/mcp/authv2 (also https://mcp.atlassian.com/v1/mcp for API-token setups). Local IDEs/custom clients: run the mcp-remote proxy (Node.js v18+) on localhost to connect to the hosted endpoint.
Usage
- •Connect your client and authenticate via browser OAuth 2.1 flow or API token (headless).
- •Natural-language tasks: search/summarize Jira, Confluence, JSM, and Bitbucket content; create/update issues or pages; bulk-create issues; link tickets to pages; create Compass components.
- •Set defaults (cloudId, Jira project key, Confluence spaceId, maxResults) in AGENTS.md to reduce discovery tool calls and save tokens.
- •Admin-driven: org admins enable API-token auth, control allowed domains, and see every tool use in the audit log.
Key features
- ✓Tools organized by product and intent (read/write/search permission groups) across Jira, Confluence, Jira Service Management, Bitbucket Cloud, and Compass.
- ✓OAuth 2.1 and API-token authentication; data access respects existing Atlassian permissions, IP allowlisting, and is encrypted over HTTPS (TLS 1.2+).
- ✓Just-in-time installation (not a Marketplace app) on first OAuth consent; admin controls for domain allow/block and IP allowlists.
- ✓Supported clients: ChatGPT, Claude (Claude.ai/Desktop/Code), Cursor, VS Code (GitHub Copilot), Copilot CLI, Gemini CLI, Amazon Quick Suite, and any local MCP client via mcp-remote.
- ✓Ships default Rovo MCP skills and AGENTS.md tips; audit logging of every tool call.
Best for
Letting AI coding assistants and IDEs work directly with Atlassian Cloud data — searching/summarizing/creating Jira issues and Confluence pages, and automating repetitive work without switching tools.
Caveats
- ⚠Requires an Atlassian Cloud site with one or more of Jira, Confluence, JSM, Bitbucket, or Compass.
- ⚠Jira Service Management and Bitbucket Cloud tools are available ONLY via API-token authentication; Compass tools are ONLY via OAuth 2.1.
- ⚠API-token auth must first be enabled by an organization admin (Atlassian Administration → Rovo → Rovo MCP server → Authentication).
- ⚠The legacy SSE endpoint (https://mcp.atlassian.com/v1/sse) is still supported but deprecated — clients should point to /mcp or /mcp/authv2 instead.
- ⚠MCP clients can perform actions with your existing permissions — Atlassian warns about prompt-injection/tool-poisoning risk and recommends least-privilege and audit-log monitoring.
