# Advanced Bitbucket query syntax
list_repositories(query='name ~ "test" AND is_private = true')
# Filter by project
list_repositories(project_key="MYPROJECT")
```
Query syntax supports: `name ~ "term"`, `is_private = true/false`, `AND`, `OR`
## Installation Options
### From PyPI (Recommended)
```bash
pipx install mcp-server-bitbucket
# or
pip install mcp-server-bitbucket
```
### Updating
```bash
# Upgrade to latest version
pipx upgrade mcp-server-bitbucket
# If upgrade doesn't pick up the new version, reinstall:
pipx uninstall mcp-server-bitbucket
pipx install mcp-server-bitbucket
```
### From Source
```bash
git clone https://github.com/JaviMaligno/mcp-server-bitbucket.git
cd mcp-server-bitbucket
uv sync
```
## Configuration
### Claude Code CLI (Recommended)
```bash
claude mcp add bitbucket -s user \
-e BITBUCKET_WORKSPACE=your-workspace \
-e BITBUCKET_EMAIL=your-email@example.com \
-e BITBUCKET_API_TOKEN=your-api-token \
-- mcp-server-bitbucket
```
### Output Format (Optional)
Set `OUTPUT_FORMAT` to optimize token usage:
```bash
# TOON format for ~30-40% token savings
claude mcp add bitbucket -s user \
-e OUTPUT_FORMAT=toon \
-e BITBUCKET_WORKSPACE=your-workspace \
-e BITBUCKET_EMAIL=your-email@example.com \
-e BITBUCKET_API_TOKEN=your-api-token \
-- mcp-server-bitbucket
```
| Format | Description | Use case |
|--------|-------------|----------|
| `json` (default) | Standard JSON | Maximum compatibility, debugging |
| `toon` | [TOON format](https://toonformat.dev/) | High-volume usage, token cost optimization |
### Cursor IDE
Add to `~/.cursor/mcp.json` (global) or `.cursor/mcp.json` (project):
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"bitbucket": {
"command": "mcp-server-bitbucket",
"env": {
"BITBUCKET_WORKSPACE": "your-workspace",
"BITBUCKET_EMAIL": "your-email@example.com",
"BITBUCKET_API_TOKEN": "your-api-token"
}
}
}
}
```
### Claude Desktop / Manual Configuration
Add to `~/.claude.json`:
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"bitbucket": {
"command": "mcp-server-bitbucket",
"env": {
"BITBUCKET_WORKSPACE": "your-workspace",
"BITBUCKET_EMAIL": "your-email@example.com",
"BITBUCKET_API_TOKEN": "your-api-token",
"OUTPUT_FORMAT": "json"
}
}
}
}
```
## Creating a Bitbucket API Token
1. Go to your repository in Bitbucket
2. Navigate to **Repository settings** > **Access tokens**
3. Click **Create Repository Access Token**
4. Select permissions:
- **Repository**: Read, Write, Admin, Delete
- **Pull requests**: Read, Write
- **Pipelines**: Read, Write
5. Copy the token immediately
See the [full installation guide](https://github.com/JaviMaligno/mcp-server-bitbucket/blob/main/docs/INSTALLATION.md) for detailed instructions.
## HTTP Server (Remote Deployment)
Deploy the MCP server as an HTTP service for remote access from any MCP client. Uses the standard MCP Streamable HTTP transport protocol.
### Running Locally
```bash
# Start HTTP server on port 8080
uv run python -m src.http_server
# Or with uvicorn for development (auto-reload)
uv run uvicorn src.http_server:app --reload --port 8080
# Custom port
PORT=3000 uv run python -m src.http_server
```
### Deploy to Cloud Run (Google Cloud)
```bash
# Deploy with secrets
gcloud run deploy bitbucket-mcp \
--source . \
--region us-central1 \
--set-env-vars "BITBUCKET_WORKSPACE=your-workspace" \
--set-secrets "BITBUCKET_EMAIL=bitbucket-email:latest,BITBUCKET_API_TOKEN=bitbucket-token:latest" \
--allow-unauthenticated # Or configure IAM for auth
```
### Deploy to Railway/Render/Fly.io
Set these environment variables in your platform:
- `BITBUCKET_WORKSPACE`: Your Bitbucket workspace slug
- `BITBUCKET_EMAIL`: Your Bitbucket account email
- `BITBUCKET_API_TOKEN`: Your repository access token
- `PORT`: (usually auto-set by platform)
### Docker Deployment
```bash
# Build image
docker build -t bitbucket-mcp .
# Run container
docker run -p 8080:8080 \
-e BITBUCKET_WORKSPACE=your-workspace \
-e BITBUCKET_EMAIL=your-email \
-e BITBUCKET_API_TOKEN=your-token \
bitbucket-mcp
```
### Connecting Claude Code to Remote Server
Once deployed, connect Claude Code to your remote MCP server:
```bash
# Add remote MCP server
claude mcp add bitbucket-remote \
--transport streamable-http \
--url https://your-deployment-url.com/mcp
# Or with authentication header (if required)
claude mcp add bitbucket-remote \
--transport streamable-http \
--url https://your-deployment-url.com/mcp \
--header "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_TOKEN"
```
### Manual Configuration for Remote Server
Add to `~/.claude.json`:
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"bitbucket-remote": {
"type": "streamable-http",
"url": "https://your-deployment-url.com/mcp"
}
}
}
```
## Development
### Requirements
- Python 3.11+
- [uv](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/) for dependency management
- [PyPI account](https://pypi.org/account/register/) for publishing
### Setup
```bash
git clone https://github.com/JaviMaligno/mcp-server-bitbucket.git
cd mcp-server-bitbucket
uv sync
```
### Running Locally
```bash
# MCP server (stdio mode)
uv run python -m src.server
# HTTP server
uv run uvicorn src.http_server:app --reload --port 8080
```
### CI/CD Pipeline
The project uses GitHub Actions for automated testing and publishing:
- **Every push to main**: Runs tests with coverage
- **Pull requests**: Runs full test suite
- **Tags (`v*`)**: Tests, builds, and publishes to PyPI
To release a new version:
```bash
# 1. Bump version in pyproject.toml
# 2. Commit changes
git add -A && git commit -m "release: v0.x.x"
git push origin main
# 3. Create and push tag (triggers PyPI publish)
git tag v0.x.x
git push origin v0.x.x
```
### Manual Publishing
If you need to publish manually:
1. **Get a PyPI API Token**:
- Go to https://pypi.org/manage/account/token/
- Create a token with scope "Entire account" (first time) or project-specific
- Set environment variable: `export UV_PUBLISH_TOKEN=pypi-YOUR_TOKEN`
2. **Build and publish**:
```bash
uv build
uv publish
```
