## Why use this
- Unified Jira + Confluence MCP server with typed models and robust tooling
- Works with Cloud and Server/Data Center (PAT, OAuth, basic auth)
- Read-only mode for safer production usage
- Streamable HTTP and SSE transports for multi-user setups
## Quick Start
### 1. Get your API token
Go to https://id.atlassian.com/manage-profile/security/api-tokens and create a token.
> For Server/Data Center, use a Personal Access Token instead. See [Authentication](https://personal-1d37018d.mintlify.app/docs/authentication).
### 2. Configure your IDE
Add to your Claude Desktop or Cursor MCP configuration:
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"mcp-atlassian": {
"command": "uvx",
"args": ["mcp-atlassian"],
"env": {
"JIRA_URL": "https://your-company.atlassian.net",
"JIRA_USERNAME": "your.email@company.com",
"JIRA_API_TOKEN": "your_api_token",
"CONFLUENCE_URL": "https://your-company.atlassian.net/wiki",
"CONFLUENCE_USERNAME": "your.email@company.com",
"CONFLUENCE_API_TOKEN": "your_api_token"
}
}
}
}
```
> **Python 3.14 not yet supported.** Use `["--python=3.12", "mcp-atlassian"]` as args if needed.
> **Server/Data Center users**: Use `JIRA_PERSONAL_TOKEN` instead of `JIRA_USERNAME` + `JIRA_API_TOKEN`. See [Authentication](https://personal-1d37018d.mintlify.app/docs/authentication) for details.
### 3. Start using
Ask your AI assistant to:
- **"Find issues assigned to me in PROJ project"**
- **"Search Confluence for onboarding docs"**
- **"Create a bug ticket for the login issue"**
- **"Update the status of PROJ-123 to Done"**
## On-Prem/Data Center notes
- PAT auth: set `JIRA_PERSONAL_TOKEN` and `CONFLUENCE_PERSONAL_TOKEN`
- SSL: set `JIRA_SSL_VERIFY=false` or `CONFLUENCE_SSL_VERIFY=false` only when required
- Client certs: `JIRA_CLIENT_CERT` / `JIRA_CLIENT_KEY` and `CONFLUENCE_CLIENT_CERT` / `CONFLUENCE_CLIENT_KEY`
