git clone https://github.com/kallows/mcp-bitbucket.git
cd mcp-bitbucket
# Install dependencies using uv (recommended) or pip
uv install
# or
pip install -e .

Environment Setup
The server requires Bitbucket credentials to be set up as environment variables:
export BITBUCKET_USERNAME="your-username"
export BITBUCKET_APP_PASSWORD="your-app-password"
Creating Bitbucket App Password
- Go to Bitbucket Settings → App passwords
- Create a new app password with these permissions:
- Repositories: Read, Write, Admin (for delete operations)
- Pull requests: Read, Write
- Issues: Read, Write
- Account: Read (for workspace operations)
Claude Desktop Configuration
Add this configuration to your claude_desktop_config.json:
Windows
{
"mcpServers": {
"bitbucket-api": {
"command": "C:\\\\Users\\\\YOURUSERNAME\\\\.local\\\\bin\\\\uv.exe",
"args": [
"--directory",
"D:\\\\mcp\\\\mcp-bitbucket",
"run",
"-m",
"mcp_bitbucket.server"
],
"env": {
"BITBUCKET_USERNAME": "your-username",
"BITBUCKET_APP_PASSWORD": "your-app-password"
}
}
}
}
Mac and Linux
{
"mcpServers": {
"bitbucket-api": {
"command": "uv",
"args": [
"run",
"--directory", "/path/to/mcp-bitbucket",
"-m", "mcp_bitbucket.server"
],
"env": {
"BITBUCKET_USERNAME": "your-username",
"BITBUCKET_APP_PASSWORD": "your-app-password"
}
}
}
}
⚠️ Important: You must restart Claude Desktop after modifying the configuration file.
Usage
Once configured, the Bitbucket tools will be available in Claude Desktop. You can:
- Ask Claude to create repositories and branches
- Read and write files in your repositories
- Create and manage issues
- Search for repositories
- Create pull requests
- Manage repository files
Example queries:
- "Create a new repository called 'my-project' in my personal workspace"
- "Create a new branch called 'feature-xyz' in the my-project repository"
- "Create a README.md file in my-project with some basic content"
- "Search for repositories that contain 'python' in the name"
Workspace Configuration
The tools default to the "kallows" workspace, but you can:
- Specify a different workspace using the
workspace parameter - Use
workspace='~' to work with your personal workspace - Create repositories in team workspaces if you have permissions
Running Tests
The project includes unit and integration tests:
# Run all tests
python -m unittest discover tests
# Run specific test files
python -m unittest tests.test_bb_api
python -m unittest tests.test_bb_integration
# Run with verbose output
python -m unittest discover tests -v
Development
- Add the tool definition to
handle_list_tools() in server.py - Add the implementation to
handle_call_tool() in server.py - Add corresponding tests
- Update this README
Error Handling
The server includes comprehensive error handling:
- Permission errors with helpful guidance
- Network connectivity issues
- Invalid parameters and validation
- Bitbucket API rate limiting
