Atlassian Bamboo MCP Server

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that brings Atlassian Bamboo CI/CD operations directly into AI assistants like Claude Code and Cursor.

❌ Without Bamboo MCP

Working with Bamboo CI/CD requires constant context switching:

• ❌ Switching to browser to check build status

• ❌ Manually navigating through Bamboo UI to find logs

• ❌ Copy-pasting build keys and deployment IDs

• ❌ No AI assistance for CI/CD troubleshooting

Related MCP server: TeamCity MCP Server

✅ With Bamboo MCP

Bamboo MCP brings your CI/CD operations directly into your AI workflow:

What's the status of the latest build for project MY-PROJECT?

Show me the deployment logs for deployment result 2661941325

Trigger a build for plan PROJ-PLAN with variable ENV=staging

No tab-switching, no manual navigation — just ask and get instant CI/CD insights.

Features

• 26 tools covering all major Bamboo operations

• Build logs with actual content (not just URLs)

• Deployment logs with full output

• Proxy support for corporate environments

• TypeScript with full type safety

Installation

Prerequisites

• Node.js 22.23.4+, 24.22.1+, or 26.12.1+ (see security note below)

• Bamboo personal access token (how to create)

Security note: Node.js versions before 22.23.4, 24.22.1 and 26.12.1 are affected by CVE-2026-111497 ("Node2Shell"), an out-of-bounds write in the Brotli decoder bundled with Node.js. This server decompresses Brotli-encoded responses from the Bamboo server, so run it on a patched Node.js release. Node.js 18 and 20 are end-of-life and will not receive the fix. If you use the Docker image, rebuild it with docker build --pull to pick up the patched base image.

From Source

git clone https://github.com/norus/atlassian-bamboo-mcp.git
cd atlassian-bamboo-mcp
npm install
npm run build

From npm

npm install -g bamboo-mcp-server

Configuration

The server requires these environment variables:

Creating a Bamboo Token

1. Log into Bamboo

2. Go to Profile → Personal access tokens

3. Click Create token

4. Give it a name and appropriate permissions

5. Copy the token (you won't see it again)

Setup

Run this command:

claude mcp add bamboo -- npx -y bamboo-mcp-server@latest

Or add to ~/.claude/settings.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "bamboo": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "bamboo-mcp-server@latest"],
      "env": {
        "BAMBOO_URL": "https://bamboo.example.com",
        "BAMBOO_TOKEN": "your-token"
      }
    }
  }
}

Add to your config file:

• macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

• Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "bamboo": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "bamboo-mcp-server@latest"],
      "env": {
        "BAMBOO_URL": "https://bamboo.example.com",
        "BAMBOO_TOKEN": "your-token",
        "BAMBOO_PROXY": "http://proxy:8080"
      }
    }
  }
}

Add to ~/.cursor/mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "bamboo": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "bamboo-mcp-server@latest"],
      "env": {
        "BAMBOO_URL": "https://bamboo.example.com",
        "BAMBOO_TOKEN": "your-token"
      }
    }
  }
}

BAMBOO_URL="https://bamboo.example.com" \
BAMBOO_TOKEN="your-token" \
npx bamboo-mcp-server

Build the image

docker build -t bamboo-mcp-server .

Run with Docker

docker run -i --rm \
  -e BAMBOO_URL="https://bamboo.example.com" \
  -e BAMBOO_TOKEN="your-token" \
  -e BAMBOO_PROXY="http://host.docker.internal:8080" \
  bamboo-mcp-server

Proxy configuration

When using a proxy from Docker:

• macOS/Windows: Use host.docker.internal to reach the host (e.g., http://host.docker.internal:8080)

• Linux: Use --network host flag or the host's actual IP address

Use with Claude Desktop

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "bamboo": {
      "command": "docker",
      "args": [
        "run", "-i", "--rm",
        "-e", "BAMBOO_URL=https://bamboo.example.com",
        "-e", "BAMBOO_TOKEN=your-token",
        "-e", "BAMBOO_PROXY=http://host.docker.internal:8080",
        "bamboo-mcp-server"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Docker Compose

services:
  bamboo-mcp:
    build: .
    environment:
      - BAMBOO_URL=https://bamboo.example.com
      - BAMBOO_TOKEN=${BAMBOO_TOKEN}
      - BAMBOO_PROXY=http://host.docker.internal:8080
    stdin_open: true

Development

# Install dependencies
npm install

# Build
npm run build

# Run tests
npm test

# Run tests with coverage
npm run test:coverage

# Run locally
BAMBOO_URL="https://bamboo.example.com" \
BAMBOO_TOKEN="your-token" \
node dist/index.js

Troubleshooting

• Verify BAMBOO_URL is correct and accessible

• If behind a proxy, set BAMBOO_PROXY

• Check if your token has expired

• Verify your BAMBOO_TOKEN is correct

• Ensure the token hasn't expired

• Check token permissions in Bamboo

• Restart Claude Code/Desktop after config changes

• Verify the path to dist/index.js is absolute

• Check Claude's MCP logs for errors

Security

• No hardcoded secrets — all credentials via environment variables

• Input validation — Zod schemas on all tool inputs

• Proxy support — works in corporate environments

• Read-heavy — most operations are read-only
