Quick Start

Method 1: Using npx (Recommended)

No installation required, runs directly from npm registry:

# Run with default config file (~/.atlassian-mcp.json)
npx @xuandev/atlassian-mcp

# Run with custom config file
npx @xuandev/atlassian-mcp --config /path/to/config.json

# Run with environment variables
ATLASSIAN_DOMAIN="your-domain.atlassian.net" \
ATLASSIAN_EMAIL="your-email@example.com" \
ATLASSIAN_API_TOKEN="your-api-token" \
npx @xuandev/atlassian-mcp

# Run with command-line arguments
npx @xuandev/atlassian-mcp \
  --domain your-domain.atlassian.net \
  --email your-email@example.com \
  --token your-api-token

Prerequisites:

  • Create ~/.atlassian-mcp.json config file (see Configuration)

  • Or set environment variables

  • Or use command-line arguments

Method 2: Global Installation

# Using npm
npm install -g @xuandev/atlassian-mcp

# Using bun
bun install -g @xuandev/atlassian-mcp

# Run with config file (recommended)
atlassian-mcp

# Run with custom config
atlassian-mcp --config /path/to/config.json

# Run with environment variables
ATLASSIAN_DOMAIN="your-domain.atlassian.net" \
ATLASSIAN_EMAIL="your-email@example.com" \
ATLASSIAN_API_TOKEN="your-api-token" \
atlassian-mcp

# Run with command-line arguments
atlassian-mcp \
  --domain your-domain.atlassian.net \
  --email your-email@example.com \
  --token your-api-token

Method 3: Docker (Containerized Deployment)

Using published image from Docker Hub:

# Pull the image
docker pull xuanxdev/atlassian-mcp:latest

# Run with config file (recommended)
docker run -i --rm \
  -v .atlassian-mcp.json:/config/.atlassian-mcp.json:ro \
  xuanxdev/atlassian-mcp:latest

# Run with environment variables
docker run -i --rm \
  -e ATLASSIAN_DOMAIN="your-domain.atlassian.net" \
  -e ATLASSIAN_EMAIL="your-email@example.com" \
  -e ATLASSIAN_API_TOKEN="your-api-token" \
  xuanxdev/atlassian-mcp:latest

Configuration

This MCP server supports three configuration methods with the following priority:

  1. Command-line arguments (highest priority)

  2. Environment variables

  3. Config file (lowest priority)

Get Atlassian API Token

Before configuring, you need an API token:

  1. Visit https://id.atlassian.com/manage-profile/security/api-tokens

  2. Click "Create API token"

  3. Enter a name and create

  4. Copy the token (only shown once, save it securely)

Method 1: Config File (Recommended)

Default Config File Locations

The server automatically searches for config files in these locations (in order):

  1. ~/.atlassian-mcp.json (user home directory - recommended)

  2. ~/.config/atlassian-mcp/config.json (XDG config directory)

  3. ./.atlassian-mcp.json (current working directory)

Config file format:

{
  "domain": "your-domain.atlassian.net",
  "email": "your-email@example.com",
  "apiToken": "your-api-token-here"

Issue Hierarchy & Parent Relationships

  • parentKey is required for Sub-task, optional for Story/Task/Bug

  • Parent and child must be in same project

Custom Fields

Using customFields Parameter:

All issue types (Epic, Story, Task, Bug, Sub-task) support custom fields through the customFields parameter. Custom fields are passed as key-value pairs where keys are field IDs.

Finding Custom Field IDs:

Use the jira_search_fields tool to find custom field IDs in your Jira instance:

jira_search_fields with query: "Epic" or "Story Points" or "Sprint"

Common Custom Fields:

  • Epic Color: customfield_10011 (varies by instance)

    • Value: Color ID string (e.g., "ghx-label-1" to "ghx-label-14")

    • Available colors: blue, green, yellow, orange, red, purple, etc.

  • Epic Name: customfield_10004 (varies by instance)

    • Value: String (e.g., "User Authentication System")

  • Story Points: customfield_10016 (varies by instance)

    • Value: Number (e.g., 5, 8, 13)

  • Sprint: customfield_10020 (varies by instance)

    • Value: Sprint ID number (e.g., 123)

Examples:

Creating an Epic with custom fields:

{
  "projectKey": "PROJ",
  "issueType": "Epic",
  "summary": "User Authentication System",
  "customFields": {
    "customfield_10011": "ghx-label-1",
    "customfield_10004": "User Auth"
  }
}

Creating a Story with story points:

{
  "projectKey": "PROJ",
  "issueType": "Story",
  "summary": "Login functionality",
  "parentKey": "PROJ-100",
  "customFields": {
    "customfield_10016": 5,
    "customfield_10020": 123
  }
}

Updating custom fields:

{
  "issueKey": "PROJ-101",
  "customFields": {
    "customfield_10016": 8
  }
}

Notes:

  • Custom field IDs vary between Jira instances
