Jira & Confluence MCP Server

PyPI version Python License: MIT

An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that lets AI assistants interact with Jira and Confluence via natural language. Works with Claude, GitHub Copilot, and any MCP-compatible client.

Quick Start (Recommended)

Install via uvx (no clone needed)

# 1. Get your Atlassian API token at:
#    https://id.atlassian.com/manage-profile/security/api-tokens

# 2. Add to your MCP client config:
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "atlassian-mcp": {
      "type": "local",
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["atlassian-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "ATLASSIAN_URL": "https://your-domain.atlassian.net",
        "ATLASSIAN_EMAIL": "your-email@example.com",
        "ATLASSIAN_API_TOKEN": "your-api-token"
      }
    }
  }
}

That's it — uvx automatically downloads and runs the package in an isolated environment.

uvx not installed? Run: pip install uv or see uv installation docs.

Environment Variables

Variable

Description

ATLASSIAN_URL

Your Atlassian base URL, e.g. https://yourco.atlassian.net

ATLASSIAN_EMAIL

Your Atlassian account email

ATLASSIAN_API_TOKEN

API token from id.atlassian.com

All three variables are required. They can be set in a .env file (for local dev) or passed via the env block in your MCP client config (recommended for uvx usage).

Example Usage

Once configured, ask your AI assistant:

  • "Show me all open issues in project MYPROJ"

  • "Create a bug ticket: Login page throws 500 error on Safari"

  • "Move PROJ-42 to In Progress and assign it to me"

  • "Log 2 hours on PROJ-42 with comment 'code review'"

  • "Show the active sprint on board 123"

  • "Search Confluence for pages about deployment"

  • "Create a Confluence page in space ENG titled 'API Design Guidelines'"

Technical Notes

This server targets Jira Cloud and Confluence Cloud REST APIs:

  • Jira: REST API v3 (/rest/api/3/) + Agile API (/rest/agile/1.0/)

  • Confluence: REST API v2 (/wiki/api/v2/) with v1 fallback for CQL search

  • Search uses POST /rest/api/3/search/jql (the current Jira Cloud search endpoint)

  • All API calls are async via httpx
