MCP Atlassian
Community-built MCP server for Atlassian products covering Jira and Confluence across both Cloud and Server/Data Center deployments. Supports three authentication paths: API tokens (Cloud), Personal Access Tokens (Server/Data Center), and OAuth 2.0.
“MCP Atlassian is the community-built bridge to Jira and Confluence and the most-starred entry in the productivity category. Coverage is broad: search and create issues, update statuses, query Confluence pages, navigate spaces, with both Cloud and Server/Data Center variants supported through different auth paths (API tokens for Cloud, Personal Access Tokens for Server/Data Center, OAuth 2.0 across both). The architectural decision worth understanding: the maintainer chose to support all four major install paths from day one (uvx, Docker, pip, from-source), which keeps the entry barrier low across operational contexts. The standout feature is HTTP transport mode for multi-user deployments, which lets a single MCP Atlassian instance serve multiple agents with per-request authentication. The trade-off is community-maintenance dependency: an Atlassian-published official MCP server has yet to ship, so this is the best-available option, with the bus factor calibrated to a single highly-active maintainer.”

8 TOOLS AVAILABLE
OUR ASSESSMENT
- Most-starred MCP server in the productivity category; signals real adoption among Atlassian-using teams.
- Triple deployment support (Cloud, Server, Data Center) with three authentication paths (API token, PAT, OAuth 2.0).
- HTTP transport mode supports multi-user deployments with per-request authentication, useful for shared agent infrastructures.
- Comprehensive documentation at mcp-atlassian.soomiles.com including tools reference, troubleshooting, and configuration guides.
- Community-maintained; Atlassian itself has no official MCP server at this time, so bus factor sits with a single highly-active maintainer.
- API token discoverability requires operators to navigate Atlassian's identity console; the README provides direct links but the journey involves several screens.
- Confluence and Jira tool sets are broad; agent context windows can fill quickly when querying multiple issue lists or large Confluence spaces.
Authentication varies by deployment: Atlassian Cloud uses API tokens generated at id.atlassian.com/manage-profile/security/api-tokens, Server/Data Center uses Personal Access Tokens, and OAuth 2.0 works as an alternative. Tokens hold the permissions of the issuing user, so least-privilege scoping at the Atlassian identity layer is the security boundary. The HTTP transport mode supports per-request authentication for multi-user deployments; configure CORS and authentication carefully for any non-localhost binding. Token rotation discipline matters because the agent has read-write access to issues and pages by default.
Teams using Jira and Confluence who want an agent that can search issues, create tickets, query Confluence pages, and update statuses through natural language.

SOURCES & VERIFICATION
We don't take any single directory's word for it. Before scoring, we cross-reference 5 public MCP sources, install the server ourselves against the clients we cover, and record when we last re-verified.
The same server, 5 different lenses. We reconcile these signals into our editorial score, which is why our number sometimes diverges from a directory-aggregate star count.
