mcp-atlassian-extended 0.1.1

Extended MCP tools for Jira and Confluence — attachments, agile boards, sprints, calendars

mcp-atlassian-extended

mcp-atlassian-extended is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that extends mcp-atlassian with 23 additional tools for Jira and Confluence: issue creation with custom fields, issue links, attachments, agile boards, sprints, backlog management, user search, calendars, time-off tracking, and sprint capacity planning. Works with Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, VS Code Copilot, and any MCP-compatible client.

Built with FastMCP, httpx, and Pydantic.

Relationship to mcp-atlassian

This project runs alongside mcp-atlassian, not as a replacement. Configure both servers:

• mcp-atlassian handles: issues, search, transitions, comments, worklog, pages, Confluence search
• mcp-atlassian-extended handles: attachments, agile, users, fields, calendars, time-off

There is no tool overlap — this server only implements tools that mcp-atlassian lacks.

Quick Install

Prerequisite: Install uv first (required for all uvx install flows, including one-click Cursor/VS Code buttons). Install uv.
