Description
Atlassian MCP Server is the official integration from Atlassian that connects your AI agent to Jira and Confluence. Your agent can search issues, read and update tickets, browse Confluence pages, and interact with your team's project management data β all through the Model Context Protocol. This is not a community wrapper; it is built and maintained by Atlassian themselves.
The server offers both a hosted remote endpoint (mcp.atlassian.com) and SSE transport, meaning you can connect without running anything locally. Your agent authenticates through Atlassian's OAuth flow, inheriting your existing permissions. This is significant for enterprise teams β no separate service accounts or API tokens to manage, and access is scoped to what you can already see.
With 340 stars and 48 open issues, the project is actively developed but still maturing. Being an official first-party integration gives it credibility, but Atlassian's product suite is complex and not all features are exposed yet. Jira and Confluence are the primary focus; Bitbucket and Trello integration may come later.
β Best for
Teams using Jira and Confluence who want AI-assisted project management and documentation access
βοΈ Skip if
You use Linear, Asana, or another project tool β look for those specific MCP servers instead
π‘ Use cases
- Search and update Jira issues conversationally β triage bugs, update statuses, add comments
- Query Confluence documentation to answer team questions without manual searching
- Generate sprint reports or project summaries by having your agent analyze Jira data
π Pros
- β Official Atlassian project with first-party support and OAuth authentication
- β Remote endpoint available β no local setup required
- β Inherits your existing Atlassian permissions, no separate tokens needed
π Cons
- β 48 open issues suggest active development but also rough edges
- β Limited to Jira and Confluence β Bitbucket and Trello not yet covered
- β Enterprise Atlassian instances with custom workflows may have compatibility issues
π‘ Tips & tricks
Use the remote endpoint at mcp.atlassian.com for the fastest setup β no local
installation needed. The OAuth flow will prompt for Atlassian workspace permissions
on first connection. For Jira, JQL queries through the agent are more precise than
natural language searches β teach your agent the JQL basics for better results.
