MCP servers for the Atlassian products (Bitbucket, Confluence, JIRA) of the Data Center version
Documentation
Atlassian Data Center MCP
This project provides a Model Context Protocol (MCP) integration for Atlassian Data Center products, including Jira, Confluence, and Bitbucket.
Claude Desktop Configuration
Official Anthropic quick start guide
To use these MCP connectors with Claude Desktop, add the following to your Claude Desktop configuration.
Set *_HOST variables only to domain + port without protocol (e.g., your-instance.atlassian.net). The https protocol is assumed.
Alternatively, you can use *_API_BASE_PATH variables instead of *_HOST to specify the complete API base URL including protocol (e.g., https://your-instance.atlassian.net/rest). Note that the /api/latest/ part is static and added automatically in the code, so you don't need to include it in the *_API_BASE_PATH values.
You can leave only the services you need in the configuration.

}Claude Code CLI Configuration
To use these MCP connectors with Claude Code, add MCP servers using the claude mcp add command.
You can add servers at the project scope (stored in .mcp.json) or user scope (-s user). Adjust the scope and included services to your needs.
# Jira
claude mcp add atlassian-jira-dc \
-e JIRA_HOST=your-jira-host \
-e JIRA_API_TOKEN=your-token \
-- npx -y @atlassian-dc-mcp/jira
# Confluence
claude mcp add atlassian-confluence-dc \
-e CONFLUENCE_HOST=your-confluence-host \
-e CONFLUENCE_API_TOKEN=your-token \
-- npx -y @atlassian-dc-mcp/confluence
# Bitbucket
claude mcp add atlassian-bitbucket-dc \
-e BITBUCKET_HOST=your-bitbucket-host \
-e BITBUCKET_API_TOKEN=your-token \
-- npx -y @atlassian-dc-mcp/bitbucketYou can also use *_API_BASE_PATH instead of *_HOST (same as the Claude Desktop examples above):
claude mcp add atlassian-jira-dc \
-e JIRA_API_BASE_PATH=https://your-jira-host/rest \
-e JIRA_API_TOKEN=your-token \
-- npx -y @atlassian-dc-mcp/jiraTo add servers at user scope (available across all projects):
claude mcp add -s user atlassian-jira-dc \
-e JIRA_HOST=your-jira-host \
-e JIRA_API_TOKEN=your-token \
-- npx -y @atlassian-dc-mcp/jiraGenerating API Tokens
For Data Center installations, you'll need to generate Personal Access Tokens (PAT) for each service:
Jira Data Center
1. Log in to your Jira instance
2. Go to Profile > Personal Access Tokens
3. Click "Create token"
4. Give it a meaningful name and set appropriate permissions
5. Copy the generated token immediately (it won't be shown again)
Confluence Data Center
1. Log in to your Confluence instance
2. Go to Settings > Personal Access Tokens
3. Click "Create token"
4. Name your token and set required permissions
5. Save and copy the token (only shown once)
Bitbucket Data Center
1. Log in to Bitbucket
2. Go to Manage Account > HTTP access tokens
3. Click "Create token"
4. Set a name and permissions
5. Generate and copy the token immediately
Store these tokens securely and use them in your Claude Desktop configuration as shown above.
Overview
The Atlassian DC MCP allows AI assistants to interact with Atlassian products through a standardized interface. It provides tools for:
- Jira: Search, view, and create issues
- Confluence: Access and manage content
- Bitbucket: Interact with repositories and code
Prerequisites
- Node.js 18 or higher
- npm 7 or higher (for workspaces support)
- Atlassian Data Center instance or Cloud instance
- API tokens for the Atlassian products you want to use
Installation
Clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/b1ff/atlassian-dc-mcp.git
cd atlassian-dc-mcpDevelopment
This project is structured as an npm monorepo using workspaces. The workspaces are organized in the packages/ directory, with separate packages for each Atlassian product integration.
Installing Dependencies
To install all dependencies for all packages in the monorepo:
npm installThis will install:
- Root-level dependencies defined in the root
package.json - All dependencies for each package in the workspaces
To install a dependency for a specific package:
npm install --workspace=@atlassian-dc-mcp/jiraTo install a dependency at the root level:
npm install -WBuilding the Project
To build all packages:
npm run buildTo build a specific package:
npm run build --workspace=@atlassian-dc-mcp/jiraRunning in Development Mode
To run a specific package in development mode:
npm run dev:jira # For Jira

# OR
JIRA_API_BASE_PATH=https://your-instance.atlassian.net/rest
# Note: part /api/2/search/ is added automatically, do not include it
JIRA_API_TOKEN=your-api-token
# Confluence configuration - choose one of these options:
CONFLUENCE_HOST=your-instance.atlassian.net
# OR
