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_TOKEN instead of JIRA_USERNAME + JIRA_API_TOKEN. See Authentication for details.

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"

Requirements Yogi Integration

This fork extends MCP Atlassian with Requirements Yogi support — 6 additional tools for managing requirements directly from your AI assistant. Requirements Yogi reuses your Confluence credentials; no separate login needed.

Confluence credentials from your Quick Start configuration are automatically used. To restrict access to specific spaces, add:

REQUIREMENT_YOGI_SPACES_FILTER=TYS,OCX,DEV

See Requirements Yogi Search Syntax for the query language reference, and the docs for full tool documentation.

Security

Never share API tokens. Keep .env files secure. See SECURITY.md.

Contributing
