Configure Claude Desktop

1) Open Claude Desktop config file

Windows

%APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

macOS

~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

2) Add MCP server configuration

Add this entry to your claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "bitbucket": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["d:\\Projects\\Pribadi\\MCP_bitbucket\\dist\\index.js"],
      "env": {
        "BITBUCKET_USERNAME": "your-bitbucket-username",
        "BITBUCKET_APP_PASSWORD": "your-app-password",
        "BITBUCKET_WORKSPACE": "your-workspace-slug"
      }
    }
  }
}

Notes:

• Replace your-bitbucket-username with your Bitbucket username

• Replace your-app-password with your Bitbucket App Password

• Replace your-workspace-slug with your workspace slug (optional; you can also pass workspace as a tool parameter)

• Use double backslashes (\\) in Windows paths

3) Restart Claude Desktop

Close and reopen Claude Desktop so it can load the MCP server.

Usage Examples

After setup, you can ask Claude:

• "List all repositories in my workspace"

• "Read src/index.ts from repository my-project"

• "Show the folder structure of repository backend-api"

• "Search for validateUser usage in repository auth-service"

• "Show recent commits from branch develop"

• "Read README from repository frontend-app"

• "Show open pull requests"

Development

# Build
npm run build

# Run manually (for testing)
BITBUCKET_USERNAME=user BITBUCKET_APP_PASSWORD=pass npm start
