Single-binary MCP server and CLI for Jira and Confluence. CI/CD-friendly, context-efficient, supports both Cloud and Server/DC.Copy
Overview
atlassian-cli is a lightweight Go CLI and MCP server for Jira and Confluence.
Unlike Atlassian's official remote MCP server (which loads many tool schemas and consumes context window), atlassian-cli lets you load only the tool groups you need — keeping token usage minimal for AI agents.
Key features
- Single binary — no runtime dependencies
- Auth via environment variables — works in headless/CI environments
- Supports both Atlassian Cloud (API token) and Server/DC (PAT)
- MCP server mode for Claude Code, Cursor, and other AI tools
- Output in table, JSON, or GitHub-flavored Markdown
- Interactive TUI for issue browsing
