Atlassian MCP Server

A read-only Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for Atlassian products (Confluence and Jira).

Installation

pip install -e .

Configuration

Set your Atlassian credentials as environment variables:

export ATLASSIAN_DOMAIN=your-company.atlassian.net
export ATLASSIAN_EMAIL=your-email@company.com

# Separate tokens for each service (recommended)
export ATLASSIAN_CONFLUENCE_TOKEN=your-confluence-token
export ATLASSIAN_JIRA_TOKEN=your-jira-token

# OR for backward compatibility, single token (if it has access to both)
export ATLASSIAN_API_TOKEN=your-api-token

Creating API Tokens

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

2. Click "Create API token"

For Confluence:

• When creating a Confluence token, select these scopes:

  • read:content:confluence - View pages, blog posts, comments, attachments

  • read:content-details:confluence - View content metadata and properties

For Jira:

• When creating a Jira token, you'll see different scope options. Look for:

  • Scopes that allow reading issues and projects

  • Search capabilities for JQL queries

  • Basic browse permissions

Note: The exact scope names may vary in the Atlassian interface. Choose the minimal read-only scopes that allow viewing issues, projects, and searching. If you're unsure, you can start with broader read permissions and restrict them later.

Start the MCP server:
