Overview

What is MCP Atlassian?

MCP Atlassian is a Model Context Protocol server that provides comprehensive tools for AI agents to interact with Atlassian products — Confluence and Jira — through a standardized interface. It is designed for developers and teams who want to enable AI-driven automation, search, and content management within their Atlassian environment.

How to use MCP Atlassian?

Install via npm (npm install) or Docker (build and run with Makefile). Create a .env file with your Atlassian host, email, and API token. Start the server using npm start or make start, then configure your MCP client to connect to the streamable HTTP endpoint (e.g., http://localhost:3007/mcp).

Frequently asked questions

What are the prerequisites for using MCP Atlassian?

You need Node.js v16 or higher, npm or yarn, an Atlassian account with an API token, and optionally Docker for containerized deployment.

How do I authenticate with the Atlassian APIs?

Provide your Atlassian host, email, and API token in a `.env` file (`ATLASSIAN_HOST`, `ATLASSIAN_EMAIL`, `ATLASSIAN_API_TOKEN`). The server supports basic auth, with OAuth 2.0 and PAT tokens planned.

Can I restrict the server to read-only operations?

Yes. Set `READ_ONLY_MODE` to disable all write operations for safe exploration. You can also use tool whitelisting via the `ENABLED_TOOLS` environment variable.

Which Confluence API versions are used?

The server primarily uses the Confluence v2 REST API for spaces, pages, comments, and labels. It falls back to the v1 API for content search (CQL) because v1 offers more powerful search capabilities.

Does the server support self-hosted Atlassian instances with custom SSL?

Yes. SSL verification bypass is configurable, allowing you to connect to self-hosted or on-premises instances with custom certificates.
