Atlassian Data Center MCP

This project provides a Model Context Protocol (MCP) integration for Atlassian Data Center products, including Jira, Confluence, and Bitbucket.

Claude Desktop Configuration

Official Anthropic quick start guide

To use these MCP connectors with Claude Desktop, add the following to your Claude Desktop configuration.

Set *_HOST variables only to domain + port without protocol (e.g., your-instance.atlassian.net). The https protocol is assumed.

Alternatively, you can use *_API_BASE_PATH variables instead of *_HOST to specify the complete API base URL including protocol (e.g., https://your-instance.atlassian.net/rest). Note that the /api/latest/ part is static and added automatically in the code, so you don't need to include it in the *_API_BASE_PATH values.

You can leave only the services you need in the configuration.

macOS:

Windows:

  "mcpServers": {

      "args": ["-y", "@atlassian-dc-mcp/jira"],
      "env": {

      }
    },

      "env": {

        "CONFLUENCE_API_TOKEN": "your-token"
      }
    },
    "atlassian-bitbucket-dc": {

        "BITBUCKET_API_TOKEN": "your-token"
      }
    }
  }
}

You can also use the alternative API base path configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "atlassian-jira-dc": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@atlassian-dc-mcp/jira"],
      "env": {
        "JIRA_API_BASE_PATH": "https://your-jira-host/rest",
        "JIRA_API_TOKEN": "your-token"
      }
    },
    "atlassian-confluence-dc": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@atlassian-dc-mcp/confluence"],
      "env": {
        "CONFLUENCE_API_BASE_PATH": "https://your-confluence-host/rest",
        "CONFLUENCE_API_TOKEN": "your-token"
      }
    },
    "atlassian-bitbucket-dc": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@atlassian-dc-mcp/bitbucket"],
      "env": {
        "BITBUCKET_API_BASE_PATH": "https://your-bitbucket-host/rest",
        "BITBUCKET_API_TOKEN": "your-token"
      }
    }
  }
}

Shared External Config File

If you want multiple MCP hosts or tools on one machine to reuse the same Atlassian credentials, put the existing JIRA_*, CONFLUENCE_*, and BITBUCKET_* variables into one dotenv-style file and point each MCP server at it with ATLASSIAN_DC_MCP_CONFIG_FILE.

The path must be absolute. Direct environment variables still override values from the shared file.

Example shared file:

JIRA_HOST=your-jira-host
JIRA_API_TOKEN=your-jira-token
JIRA_DEFAULT_PAGE_SIZE=50

CONFLUENCE_HOST=your-confluence-host
CONFLUENCE_API_TOKEN=your-confluence-token

BITBUCKET_HOST=your-bitbucket-host
BITBUCKET_API_TOKEN=your-bitbucket-token
BITBUCKET_DEFAULT_PAGE_SIZE=50

Claude Desktop example using one shared file:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "atlassian-jira-dc": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@atlassian-dc-mcp/jira"],
      "env": {
        "ATLASSIAN_DC_MCP_CONFIG_FILE": "/Users/your-user/.config/atlassian-dc-mcp.env"
      }
    },
    "atlassian-confluence-dc": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@atlassian-dc-mcp/confluence"],
