The Model Context Protocol (MCP) Atlassian integration is an open-source implementation that bridges Atlassian products (Jira and Confluence) with AI language models following Anthropic's MCP specification. This project enables secure, contextual AI interactions with Atlassian tools while maintaining data privacy and security. Key features include:

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": {
    "bcs-mcp-atlassian": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["bcs-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_TOKEN instead of JIRA_USERNAME + JIRA_API_TOKEN. See Authentication for details.

Optional — content masking: To send Jira/Confluence text content through an external mask/verification service before returning it to the client, set CONTENT_MASK_SERVICE_URL to the service endpoint (e.g. https://apis.tusvc.bcs.ru/mai-ms-masking-it-proxy/mask/chat). If unset, content is returned as-is.

Optional — log file: To write server logs to a file (e.g. to view them in Cursor when the MCP client panel does not show server stderr), set MCP_LOG_FILE to a file path (e.g. bcs-mcp-atlassian.log). Logs are appended to the file in UTF-8.

Running with local code (e.g. in Cursor): To avoid "program not found" when Cursor spawns the process (wrong working directory or uv not in PATH), use the wrapper script as command with the full path to this repo:

"bcs-mcp-atlassian": {
  "command": "C:\\Users\\Anton\\Downloads\\atlassian\\bcs-mcp-atlassian-bcs\\run-bcs-mcp-atlassian.bat",
  "args": [],
  "env": {
    "JIRA_URL": "https://jira.bcs.ru",
    "JIRA_PERSONAL_TOKEN": "<your-token>",
    "CONFLUENCE_URL": "https://confluence.bcs.ru",
    "CONFLUENCE_PERSONAL_TOKEN": "<your-token>",
    "CONTENT_MASK_SERVICE_URL": "https://apis.tusvc.bcs.ru/mai-ms-masking-it-proxy/mask/chat"
  }
}

Replace the path with your actual clone path. The script run-bcs-mcp-atlassian.bat switches to the project directory and runs uv run bcs-mcp-atlassian there. If your workspace root is this folder and uv is in PATH, you can instead use "command": "uv" and "args": ["run", "bcs-mcp-atlassian"].

3. Start Using

Ask your AI assistant to:

  • "Find issues assigned to me in PROJ project"
  • "Search Confluence for onboarding docs"
  • "Create a bug ticket for the login issue"
  • "Update the status of PROJ-123 to Done"
