Atlassian MCP Server

This project implements a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for interacting with Atlassian Confluence and Jira via LLMs.

Features

• Get, update, and explore Confluence pages, folders, children, and spaces
• Perform advanced searches using CQL (Confluence Query Language)
• Interact with Jira issues (create, update, delete, search)
• Designed for LLM integration (e.g., Claude for Desktop)

Local Setup

Follow these steps to set up the MCP server locally:

Prerequisites

• Node.js (v18 or later recommended)
• npm (comes with Node.js)
• API token for Atlassian. You can create on from https://id.atlassian.com/manage-profile/security/api-tokens

Steps

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/Parthav46/atlassian-mcp.git
   cd atlassian-mcp
   

2. Install dependencies:

   npm install
   

3. Configure environment:
   • You can set configuration options using command-line arguments or environment variables:
     • --base-url <Confluence or Jira base URL>
     • --token <User token>
     • --username <Username>
   • These arguments override environment variables if both are set.
4. Build the project:

   npm run build
   

5. Run the server using npx:

   npx atlassian-mcp --base-url <Confluence or Jira base URL> --token <User token> --username <Username>
   

   • You can also use environment variables instead of command-line arguments.

MCP Server setup

Create MCP JSON config for Copilot or Claude for Desktop:

• Add the following content to configure your MCP server:

  {
    "command": "npx",
    "type": "stdio",
    "args": [
      "atlassian-mcp@latest"
    ],
    "env": {
      "ATLASSIAN_BASE_URL": "<Your Jira Base URL>",
      "ATLASSIAN_API_TOKEN": "<Your Atlassian API Token>",
      "ATLASSIAN_USERNAME": "<Your Atlassian Username>"
    }
  }
  

• Replace the placeholders with your actual configuration values.
• This configuration works for both GitHub Copilot and Claude for Desktop.

Scripts

• npm run build — Compile TypeScript
• npm start — Run the server using compiled JS
• npm run dev — Run the server with ts-node (for development)
