Structure

atlassian/
├── jira-mcp-server/          # Issues, boards, sprints, workflows
├── confluence-mcp-server/    # Pages, spaces, blogs, search
└── bitbucket-mcp-server/     # Repos, PRs, branches, builds

Installation

Each server is an independent Python package. Install from the server directory:

cd jira-mcp-server && pip install -e ".[dev]"
cd confluence-mcp-server && pip install -e ".[dev]"
cd bitbucket-mcp-server && pip install -e ".[dev]"

Requires Python 3.10+.

Authentication

All three servers support multiple authentication modes, auto-detected from environment variables.

Atlassian Cloud

Uses Basic auth with your email and an API token.

# Jira Cloud
export JIRA_MCP_URL=https://yoursite.atlassian.net
export JIRA_MCP_EMAIL=[e-mail]
export JIRA_MCP_TOKEN=your-api-token

# Confluence Cloud
export CONFLUENCE_MCP_URL=https://yoursite.atlassian.net/wiki
export CONFLUENCE_MCP_EMAIL=[e-mail]
export CONFLUENCE_MCP_TOKEN=your-api-token

# Bitbucket Cloud
export BITBUCKET_MCP_URL=https://api.bitbucket.org
export BITBUCKET_MCP_EMAIL=[e-mail]
export BITBUCKET_MCP_TOKEN=your-app-password

Self-Hosted (Data Center)

Uses Bearer auth with a personal access token.

# Jira Data Center
export JIRA_MCP_URL=https://jira.company.com
export JIRA_MCP_TOKEN=your-personal-access-token

# Confluence Data Center
export CONFLUENCE_MCP_URL=https://confluence.company.com
export CONFLUENCE_MCP_TOKEN=your-personal-access-token

# Bitbucket Data Center
export BITBUCKET_MCP_URL=https://bitbucket.company.com
export BITBUCKET_MCP_TOKEN=your-personal-access-token

Self-Hosted (Username + Password)

The Jira server also supports traditional Basic authentication with username and password for older Server/Data Center instances:

export JIRA_MCP_URL=https://jira.company.com
export JIRA_MCP_USERNAME=your-username
export JIRA_MCP_PASSWORD=your-password

Auto-Detection

• If EMAIL is set: Cloud mode (Basic auth with email + API token)
• If USERNAME + PASSWORD are set (Jira only): Basic mode (Basic auth with credentials)
• If only TOKEN is set: Data Center mode (Bearer auth with PAT)
• Set AUTH_TYPE=cloud, AUTH_TYPE=pat, or AUTH_TYPE=basic to override
