Search, read, and create Jira issues and Confluence pages
About
The Atlassian MCP Server lets your AI assistant search, read, and create content across Jira and Confluence. Query Jira issues with JQL, read Confluence pages, create new issues, and manage project workflows.
Built by the community (sooperset), this server connects to Atlassian Cloud using API tokens. It provides comprehensive access to both Jira project management and Confluence knowledge base features.
Ideal for teams using Atlassian products who want AI-assisted issue management, documentation search, and project tracking without switching between tools.

Quick Start
1. Get Your API Token
Go to https://id.atlassian.com/manage-profile/security/api-tokens and create a token.
For Server/Data Center, use a Personal Access Token instead. See Authentication.
2. Configure Your IDE
Add to your Claude Desktop or Cursor MCP configuration:
{
"mcpServers": {
"mcp-atlassian": {
"command": "uvx",
"args": ["mcp-atlassian"],
"env": {
"JIRA_URL": "https://your-company.atlassian.net",
"JIRA_USERNAME": "your.email@company.com",
"JIRA_API_TOKEN": "your_api_token",
"CONFLUENCE_URL": "https://your-company.atlassian.net/wiki",
"CONFLUENCE_USERNAME": "your.email@company.com",
"CONFLUENCE_API_TOKEN": "your_api_token"
}
}
}
}
Server/Data Center users: Use
JIRA_PERSONAL_TOKENinstead ofJIRA_USERNAME+JIRA_API_TOKEN. See Authentication for details.
Autohand Code
Use the same uvx server with your Atlassian credentials:
autohand mcp add mcp-atlassian env \
JIRA_URL=https://your-company.atlassian.net \
JIRA_USERNAME=your.email@company.com \
JIRA_API_TOKEN=your_api_token \
CONFLUENCE_URL=https://your-company.atlassian.net/wiki \
CONFLUENCE_USERNAME=your.email@company.com \
CONFLUENCE_API_TOKEN=your_api_token \
uvx mcp-atlassian
Add --scope project after add to keep the configuration in the current
project. See Autohand Code for current
installation and CLI details.
