Best for
  • Teams that want an AI assistant to read and write Jira issues and Confluence pages directly
  • Organizations running both Atlassian Cloud and Server/Data Center environments
  • Developers who want JQL/CQL search, issue creation, and status transitions inside their IDE or chat client
  • Developers, content creators, and project teams using Atlassian Cloud
  • Teams that want Atlassian access inside ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, or VS Code
  • Users who need natural-language search, write, and cross-product workflows
Not for
  • Users without an Atlassian Jira or Confluence account/instance
  • Scenarios requiring official Atlassian support guarantees (this is not an official Atlassian product)
  • Environments that cannot securely store or rotate API tokens/.env files
  • Users without an Atlassian Cloud site or relevant product permissions
  • Deployments requiring a self-hosted MCP server
  • Users unwilling to grant an AI client access to Atlassian data or actions
  • Jira Service Management or Bitbucket Cloud workflows requiring OAuth authentication
Required permissions
  • URL(s) of the Jira and/or Confluence instance
  • Atlassian account email + API token (Cloud), or a Personal Access Token (Server/Data Center)
  • Whatever read/write permissions that account actually holds in Jira/Confluence (creating/updating issues, creating/updating pages, and adding comments require write access)
  • Jira and Confluence provide read, write, and search permission groups
  • Jira Service Management provides read and write access through API tokens only
  • Bitbucket Cloud provides read and write access through scoped API tokens only
  • Compass is available through OAuth 2.1 only
  • The first OAuth installer for a site must have access to the Atlassian apps requested by the MCP scopes
  • Organization administrators can manage domain controls, API-token authentication, app access, and audit logs
Risks and side effects
  • A leaked API token or PAT can be used to read and write Jira/Confluence data as that account
  • The README explicitly warns to keep .env files secure to avoid credential exposure
  • Creating, updating, and transitioning issues, and creating/updating pages, are write operations — misconfigured automation could cause unintended data changes
  • Not officially maintained by Atlassian, so updates and security response depend on the community repository maintainers
  • AI clients can perform Jira, Confluence, Jira Service Management, Bitbucket, and Compass actions on the user’s behalf
  • Prompt injection, indirect prompt injection, and tool-poisoning attacks may cause data exfiltration or unintended changes
  • Use least privilege, scoped tokens, and minimal project or workspace access
  • Require human confirmation for high-impact or destructive actions and monitor audit logs
