WHAT IT CONNECTS

What MCP Atlassian gives an AI Agent

The source catalog does not include a structured feature list. Review the repository documentation before use.

SECURITY

An MCP listing is not a security review

An MCP server may receive model context, credentials, local files, or permission to call external systems. Review its code, requested environment variables, network behavior, package provenance, and maintenance status before connecting it to an agent.

Quick Start

1. Get Your API Token

Go to https://id.atlassian.com/manage-profile/security/api-tokens and create a token.

For Server/Data Center, use a Personal Access Token instead. See Authentication.

2. Configure Your IDE

Add to your Claude Desktop or Cursor MCP configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp-atlassian": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["mcp-atlassian"],
      "env": {
        "JIRA_URL": "https://your-company.atlassian.net",
        "JIRA_USERNAME": "your.email@company.com",
        "JIRA_API_TOKEN": "your_api_token",
        "CONFLUENCE_URL": "https://your-company.atlassian.net/wiki",
        "CONFLUENCE_USERNAME": "your.email@company.com",
        "CONFLUENCE_API_TOKEN": "your_api_token"
      }
    }
  }
}

Server/Data Center users: Use JIRA_PERSONAL_TOKEN instead of JIRA_USERNAME + JIRA_API_TOKEN. See Authentication for details.

Autohand Code

Use the same uvx server with your Atlassian credentials:

autohand mcp add mcp-atlassian env \
  JIRA_URL=https://your-company.atlassian.net \
  JIRA_USERNAME=your.email@company.com \
  JIRA_API_TOKEN=your_api_token \
  CONFLUENCE_URL=https://your-company.atlassian.net/wiki \
  CONFLUENCE_USERNAME=your.email@company.com \
  CONFLUENCE_API_TOKEN=your_api_token \
  uvx mcp-atlassian

Add --scope project after add to keep the configuration in the current project. See Autohand Code for current installation and CLI details.

3. Start Using

Ask your AI assistant to:

"Find issues assigned to me in PROJ project"
"Search Confluence for onboarding docs"
"Create a bug ticket for the login issue"
"Update the status of PROJ-123 to Done"
