  -e BITBUCKET_EMAIL=[e-mail] \
  -e BITBUCKET_API_TOKEN=your-api-token \
  -- mcp-server-bitbucket

Output Format (Optional)

Set OUTPUT_FORMAT to optimize token usage:

# TOON format for ~30-40% token savings
claude mcp add bitbucket -s user \

json (default)	Standard JSON	Maximum compatibility, debugging
toon	TOON format	High-volume usage, token cost optimization

Cursor IDE

Add to ~/.cursor/mcp.json (global) or .cursor/mcp.json (project):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "bitbucket": {
      "command": "mcp-server-bitbucket",
      "env": {
        "BITBUCKET_WORKSPACE": "your-workspace",
        "BITBUCKET_EMAIL": "[e-mail]",

2. Navigate to Repository settings > Access tokens
3. Click Create Repository Access Token
4. Select permissions:
   • Repository: Read, Write, Admin, Delete
   • Pull requests: Read, Write
   • Pipelines: Read, Write
5. Copy the token immediately

See the full installation guide for detailed instructions.

HTTP Server (Remote Deployment)

Deploy the MCP server as an HTTP service for remote access from any MCP client. Uses the standard MCP Streamable HTTP transport protocol.

Running Locally

# Start HTTP server on port 8080
uv run python -m src.http_server

# Or with uvicorn for development (auto-reload)
uv run uvicorn src.http_server:app --reload --port 8080

# Custom port
PORT=3000 uv run python -m src.http_server

Deploy to Cloud Run (Google Cloud)

# Deploy with secrets
gcloud run deploy bitbucket-mcp \
  --source . \
  --region us-central1 \
  --set-env-vars "BITBUCKET_WORKSPACE=your-workspace" \
  --set-secrets "BITBUCKET_EMAIL=bitbucket-email:latest,BITBUCKET_API_TOKEN=bitbucket-token:latest" \
  --allow-unauthenticated  # Or configure IAM for auth

Deploy to Railway/Render/Fly.io

Set these environment variables in your platform:

• BITBUCKET_WORKSPACE: Your Bitbucket workspace slug
• BITBUCKET_EMAIL: Your Bitbucket account email
• BITBUCKET_API_TOKEN: Your repository access token
• PORT: (usually auto-set by platform)

Docker Deployment

# Build image
docker build -t bitbucket-mcp .

# Run container
docker run -p 8080:8080 \
  -e BITBUCKET_WORKSPACE=your-workspace \
  -e BITBUCKET_EMAIL=your-email \
  -e BITBUCKET_API_TOKEN=your-token \
  bitbucket-mcp

Connecting Claude Code to Remote Server

Once deployed, connect Claude Code to your remote MCP server:

# Add remote MCP server
claude mcp add bitbucket-remote \
  --transport streamable-http \
  --url https://your-deployment-url.com/mcp

# Or with authentication header (if required)
claude mcp add bitbucket-remote \
  --transport streamable-http \
  --url https://your-deployment-url.com/mcp \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_TOKEN"

Manual Configuration for Remote Server

Add to ~/.claude.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "bitbucket-remote": {
      "type": "streamable-http",
      "url": "https://your-deployment-url.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Development

Requirements

• Python 3.11+
• uv for dependency management
• PyPI account for publishing

Setup

git clone https://github.com/JaviMaligno/mcp-server-bitbucket.git
cd mcp-server-bitbucket
uv sync

Running Locally

# MCP server (stdio mode)
uv run python -m src.server

# HTTP server
uv run uvicorn src.http_server:app --reload --port 8080

CI/CD Pipeline

The project uses GitHub Actions for automated testing and publishing:

• Every push to main: Runs tests with coverage
• Pull requests: Runs full test suite
• Tags (v*): Tests, builds, and publishes to PyPI

To release a new version:

# 1. Bump version in pyproject.toml
# 2. Commit changes
git add -A && git commit -m "release: v0.x.x"
git push origin main

# 3. Create and push tag (triggers PyPI publish)
git tag v0.x.x
git push origin v0.x.x

Manual Publishing

If you need to publish manually:

1. Get a PyPI API Token:

   • Go to https://pypi.org/manage/account/token/
   • Create a token with scope "Entire account" (first time) or project-specific
   • Set environment variable: export UV_PUBLISH_TOKEN=pypi-YOUR_TOKEN

2. Build and publish:

   uv build
   uv publish
