Claude Code

Run this in your terminal. It adds a user-scoped server; use --scope project instead if it should apply only to the current project.

terminal
claude mcp add --scope user --transport stdio --env JIRA_URL=YOUR_JIRA_URL --env JIRA_API_TOKEN=YOUR_JIRA_API_TOKEN atlassian -- uvx mcp-atlassian

Replace each YOUR_… value with the required secret before running the command.

What it does

Atlassian MCP connects an agent to Jira issues and Confluence pages. It is for work that depends on the ticket, the project record and the documentation around it.

  • Search Jira issues.
  • Read and update issue fields when supported.
  • Find Confluence pages relevant to a task.
  • Use Jira and Confluence identifiers explicitly.
  • Keep the site URL and API token in the server environment.

page_id required
string The ID of the page to delete
confluence_download_attachment Download an attachment from Confluence as an embedded resource. Returns the attachment content as a base64-encoded embedded resource so that it is available over the MCP protocol without requiring filesystem access on the server. Files larger than 50 MB are not downloaded inline; a descriptive error message is returned instead.

Arguments

attachment_id required
string The ID of the attachment to download (e.g., 'att123456789'). Find attachment IDs using get_attachments tool. Example workflow: get_attachments(content_id) → use returned ID here.
confluence_download_content_attachments Download all attachments for a Confluence content item as embedded resources.

For filtering by file type, using the 'filename' parameter is more reliable (e.g., filename='*.png' pattern matching if supported, or exact filename). Useful for: - Discovering what files are attached to a page - Getting attachment IDs for download operations - Checking if a specific file exists - Listing images/documents for processing

Arguments

confluence_upload_attachment Upload an attachment to Confluence content (page or blog post). Provide the file either as a server-readable path ('file_path') or as base64-encoded content ('content_base64' together with 'filename'). The base64 form is intended for remote or containerized servers that cannot read host file paths. Exactly one of the two must be supplied. If the attachment already exists (same filename), a new version is created. This is useful for: - Attaching documents, images, or files to a page - Updating existing attachments with new versions - Adding supporting materials to documentation

If a file with the same name already exists, a new version will be created. Requires the server to be able to read the path; for remote or containerized servers use 'content_base64' instead. Provide either 'file_path' or 'content_base64', not both. Default: null
filename
string (Optional) Attachment filename, including extension (e.g. 'report.pdf'). Required when using 'content_base64'; it determines the attachment title and file type. Ignored when 'file_path' is used. Default: null
minor_edit
boolean (Optional) Whether this is a minor edit. If true, watchers are not notified. Default is false. Default: false
confluence_upload_attachments Upload multiple attachments to Confluence content in a single operation. More efficient than calling upload_attachment multiple times. If files with the same names exist, new versions are created automatically. Useful for: - Bulk uploading documentation assets (diagrams, screenshots, etc.) - Adding multiple related files to a page at once - Batch updating existing attachments with new versions

Arguments

comment
string (Optional) Comment for all uploaded attachments. Visible in version history. Example: 'Q4 2024 batch upload' Default: null
content_id required
string The ID of the Confluence content (page or blog post) to attach files to. Example: '123456789'. If uploading multiple files with the same names, new versions will be created automatically.

public
boolean (Optional) For JSM/Service Desk issues only. Set to true for customer-visible comment, false for internal agent-only comment. Posted via the ServiceDesk API as a raw string; Jira Cloud renders it server-side and stores ADF (markdown observed to render on Cloud, without the client-side markdown-to-ADF guarantees of the regular comment path). Cannot be combined with visibility. If the issue's project is listed in JIRA_INTERNAL_ONLY_PROJECTS, only public=false is accepted — public=true or omitting this field is rejected. Default: null
visibility
string (Optional) Comment visibility as JSON string (e.g. '{"type":"group","value":"jira-users"}') Default: null

return_fields
string (Optional) Controls which fields of the updated issue are returned, to reduce response size and token usage. Defaults to '*all' (the complete issue, which can be very large). TOKEN-SAVING TIP: after an update you usually do NOT need the whole issue back. Pass a comma-separated list of just the field(s) you care about (e.g., 'summary,duedate'), or a single light field such as 'status' for a minimal confirmation - this can cut the response by thousands of tokens. The issue 'key' is always returned regardless. If you later need other fields, fetch them on demand with jira_get_issue (which also supports field filtering). Use '*all' only when you genuinely need the full updated issue. Default: *all
jira_update_proforma_form_answers Update form field answers using the Jira Forms REST API. This is the primary method for updating form data. Each answer object must specify the question ID, answer type, and value. **⚠️ KNOWN LIMITATION - DATETIME fields:** The Jira Forms API does NOT properly preserve time components in DATETIME fields. Only the date portion is stored; times are reset to midnight (00:00:00). **Workaround for DATETIME fields:** Use jira_update_issue to directly update the underlying custom fields instead: 1. Get the custom field ID from the form details (question's "jiraField" property) 2. Use jira_update_issue with fields like: {"customfield_XXXXX": "2026-01-09T11:50:00-08:00"} Example: ```python # Instead of updating via form (loses time): # jira_update_proforma_form_answers(issue_key, form_id, [{"questionId": "91", "type": "DATETIME", "value": "..."}]) # Use direct field update (preserves time): jira_update_issue(issue_key, {"customfield_10542": "2026-01-09T11:50:00-08:00"}) ``` **Automatic DateTime Conversion:** For DATE and DATETIME fields, you can provide values as: - ISO 8601 strings (e.g., "2024-12-17T19:00:00Z", "2024-12-17") - Unix timestamps in milliseconds (e.g., 1734465600000) The tool automatically converts ISO 8601 strings to Unix timestamps. Example answers: [ {"questionId": "q1", "type": "TEXT", "value": "Updated description"}, {"questionId": "q2", "type": "SELECT", "value": "Product A"}, {"questionId": "q3", "type": "NUMBER", "value": 42}, {"questionId": "q4", "type": "DATE", "value": "2024-12-17"} ] Common answer types: - TEXT: String values - NUMBER: Numeric values - DATE: Date values (ISO 8601 string or Unix timestamp in ms) - DATETIME: DateTime values - ⚠️ USE WORKAROUND ABOVE - SELECT: Single selection from options - MULTI_SELECT: Multiple selections (value as list) - CHECKBOX: Boolean values

Questions people ask

Can Atlassian MCP work with Jira?

Yes. The entry covers Jira issue work. The live function list shows which searches and updates this server version exposes.

Can Atlassian MCP search Confluence?

Yes. Confluence is included alongside Jira. The connected server determines which page search and retrieval operations are available.

How do I use Atlassian MCP with Claude Code?

Install `uv`, configure the Atlassian site URL and token, then add the local server to Claude Code. Claude Code can use the Jira and Confluence functions after startup.

How do I use Atlassian MCP in Cursor?

Add the server to Cursor's MCP settings and provide the Atlassian site and token through the server environment. Cursor can use the connection once it initializes.

Can Atlassian MCP run in Docker?

Yes, if the container includes `uv`, can reach the Atlassian site and receives the required site URL and token. Network access and credentials still belong to the container runtime.

Does Atlassian MCP use uvx?

The catalog requires `uv` for this server. If the resolved launch command uses `uvx`, keep that command and its environment in the MCP client configuration rather than replacing it with an unrelated npm package.

What URL does Atlassian MCP need?

It needs the Atlassian or Jira site URL for the workspace the agent should access. Do not point it at an arbitrary public documentation URL.

Does Atlassian MCP need an API token?

Yes. The catalog entry requires an Atlassian API token and a site URL. Store both in the server configuration and limit the account permissions.

Put the ticket and the documentation in context.

Let the agent work from Jira and Confluence instead of a copied issue description.
