MCP server for Bitbucket API operations. Works with Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, and any MCP-compatible client.

## Language Versions

This repository contains both **TypeScript** and **Python** implementations:

|---------|-----------|--------|--------------|
| **TypeScript** | `/typescript` | ✅ Recommended (Smithery) | `npm install -g mcp-server-bitbucket` |
| Python | `/python` | ✅ Stable | `pipx install mcp-server-bitbucket` |

> **Note**: The TypeScript version is used for Smithery deployments. Both versions provide identical functionality.

## Quick Start

### TypeScript (Recommended for Smithery)

```bash
# Install globally
npm install -g mcp-server-bitbucket

# Or run directly with npx
npx mcp-server-bitbucket
```

### Python

```bash
# Install with pipx
pipx install mcp-server-bitbucket

# Configure Claude Code
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
```

**[Full Installation Guide](https://github.com/JaviMaligno/mcp-server-bitbucket/blob/main/docs/INSTALLATION.md)** - Includes API token creation, permissions setup, and troubleshooting.

## Configuration

### Environment Variables

| Variable | Required | Description |
|----------|----------|-------------|
| `BITBUCKET_WORKSPACE` | ✅ | Bitbucket workspace slug |
| `BITBUCKET_EMAIL` | ✅ (basic auth) | Account email for Basic Auth |
| `BITBUCKET_API_TOKEN` | ✅ | Atlassian API token (Basic auth) |
| `BITBUCKET_OAUTH_TOKEN` | | Access token sent as `Authorization: Bearer` |
| `BITBUCKET_AUTH_TYPE` | | Force auth mode: `basic` or `bearer` (auto-detected) |
| `API_TIMEOUT` | | Request timeout in seconds (default: 30) |
| `MAX_RETRIES` | | Max retry attempts for rate limiting (default: 3) |

### Authentication modes

Bitbucket Cloud has two credential families, and they do **not** share an auth scheme:

| Credential | Header | Configuration |
|------------|--------|---------------|
| Atlassian API token (`ATATT...`), tied to a personal account | `Authorization: Basic base64(email:token)` | `BITBUCKET_EMAIL` + `BITBUCKET_API_TOKEN` |
| Workspace / project / repository access token (`ATCTT...`), owned by the workspace | `Authorization: Bearer <token>` | `BITBUCKET_OAUTH_TOKEN` |

Access tokens return **401 with Basic auth**, so the server picks the mode automatically:

1. `BITBUCKET_AUTH_TYPE`, when set, always wins.
2. Otherwise `bearer` is used when `BITBUCKET_OAUTH_TOKEN` is set, or when no `BITBUCKET_EMAIL` is configured.
3. Otherwise `basic` is used (the default for personal API tokens).

Bearer example — a company-owned workspace access token with no personal account involved:

```bash
claude mcp add bitbucket -s user \
  -e BITBUCKET_WORKSPACE=your-workspace \
  -e BITBUCKET_OAUTH_TOKEN=your-workspace-access-token \
  -- npx mcp-server-bitbucket
```

### Protecting the remote server (OAuth)

The stdio server runs on your machine with your own credential, so it needs no
protection. A **remote** deployment is different: it holds one shared credential
and serves whoever reaches it, so `/mcp` can be gated on a bearer token issued
by an external authorization server (Microsoft Entra ID, Okta, Auth0…).

| Variable | Description |
|----------|-------------|
| `MCP_OAUTH_ISSUER` | Token issuer, e.g. `https://login.microsoftonline.com/<tenant>/v2.0` |
| `MCP_OAUTH_AUDIENCE` | Expected `aud` claim, e.g. `api://bitbucket-mcp` |
| `MCP_OAUTH_JWKS_URI` | Signing keys (derived from the issuer when omitted) |
| `MCP_OAUTH_REQUIRED_SCOPE` | Scope the token must carry, e.g. `mcp.access` |
| `MCP_PUBLIC_URL` | Public URL of this server, advertised as the resource |

Protection is **off unless both `MCP_OAUTH_ISSUER` and `MCP_OAUTH_AUDIENCE` are
set**, so existing deployments are unaffected. With them set, the server:

- answers unauthenticated `/mcp` requests with `401` and a `WWW-Authenticate`
  header pointing at `/.well-known/oauth-protected-resource`, which is what makes
  an MCP client start the OAuth flow;
- serves that metadata document (RFC 9728) naming the authorization server;
- verifies every request's JWT — signature against the issuer's JWKS, plus
  `iss`, `aud` and expiry — and returns `403 insufficient_scope` when a valid
  token lacks the required scope;
- leaves `/health` open, so platform probes keep working.

Note what this does and does not do: it controls **who may use the server**.
Calls still reach Bitbucket under the server's own credential, so it does not
attribute actions to individual users.

### Claude Code CLI

```bash
# TypeScript version
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 \
  -- npx mcp-server-bitbucket

# Python version
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
```
