# MCP Atlassian

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides comprehensive tools for interacting with Atlassian products (Confluence and Jira).

## Overview

This MCP server allows AI agents to interact with Atlassian products through a standardized interface. It provides extensive tools for:

- **Confluence**: Full CRUD operations, content search, space management, page management, comments, labels, and more using v2 REST API
- **Jira**: Issue management, project operations, transitions, comments, and comprehensive workflow support

## Key Features

- **Modern API Support**: Uses Confluence v2 REST API with fallback to v1 for search functionality
- **Comprehensive Toolset**: 18+ Confluence tools and 8+ Jira tools covering all major operations
- **Security & Privacy**: Built-in PII filtering and SSL verification controls
- **Flexible Configuration**: Support for separate service URLs, authentication methods, and tool filtering
- **Pagination Support**: Cursor-based pagination for v2 APIs and offset/limit for v1 APIs
- **Error Handling**: Comprehensive error handling with detailed error messages
- **Type Safety**: Full TypeScript implementation with proper type definitions

## Prerequisites

- Node.js (v16 or higher)
- npm or yarn
- Atlassian account with API token
- Docker (optional, for containerized deployment)

## Installation

### Standard Installation

1. Clone the repository:

   ```bash
   git clone https://github.com/yourusername/mcp-atlassian.git
   cd mcp-atlassian
   ```

2. Install dependencies:

   ```bash
   npm install
   # or using make
   make install
   ```

3. Create a `.env` file in the root directory with your Atlassian credentials:
   ```
   ATLASSIAN_HOST=https://your-domain.atlassian.net
   ATLASSIAN_EMAIL=your-email@example.com
   ATLASSIAN_API_TOKEN=your-api-token
   ```

### Docker Installation

1. Clone the repository:

   ```bash
   git clone https://github.com/yourusername/mcp-atlassian.git
   cd mcp-atlassian
   ```

2. Create a `.env` file as described above.

3. Build and run the Docker container:

   ```bash
   # Build the Docker image
   make docker-build

   # Run the Docker container
   make docker-run

   # Or use Docker Compose
   make docker-compose
   ```

## Usage

### Starting the Server

```bash
# Using npm
npm start

# Using make
make start

# Using Docker
make docker-run
```

This will start the MCP server, which will listen and respond on streamable HTTP.

### MCP configuration

```json
    "mcp-searchapi": {
      "name": "mcp-searchapi",
      "type": "streamable-http",
      "streamable": true,
      "url": "http://localhost:3007/mcp"
    }
```

## Architecture Notes

### Confluence API Migration

This server primarily uses the **Confluence v2 REST API** for most operations, with strategic fallback to v1 API where necessary:

- **v2 API**: Used for spaces, pages, comments, labels - provides better performance and modern cursor-based pagination
- **v1 API**: Used for content search via CQL - provides more powerful search capabilities
- **SSL Support**: Configurable SSL verification bypass for self-hosted instances
- **Authentication**: Supports basic auth, OAuth 2.0 (planned), and PAT tokens

### Tool Filtering & Security

- **Read-Only Mode**: Disable all write operations for safe exploration
- **Tool Whitelist**: Enable only specific tools via `ENABLED_TOOLS` environment variable
- **PII Filtering**: Automatic detection and masking of sensitive information in responses
- **Error Context**: Detailed error messages without exposing sensitive configuration
