About MCP Atlassian (community)

MCP Atlassian is a community MCP server for Confluence and Jira. Unlike Atlassian's official server, which covers Atlassian Cloud, it supports both Cloud and self-managed Server/Data Center deployments, authenticating with API tokens or personal access tokens, and lets assistants search, read, create and update issues and pages.

MCP Atlassian (community) is listed in this index written primarily in Python, with 6.1k stars on GitHub. Its latest recorded repository push was in September 2026; that is not an ASE editorial review date.

Before connecting: access and data

This record's specific permissions have not been reviewed by ASE. Read the publisher's documentation before copying setup or connecting.

  • List the accounts, files and services the enabled tools can read, change or execute. Check your actual credentials and discovered tools.
  • Use narrowly scoped credentials and read-only mode where supported. Review proposed writes before approving them; a generated configuration does not apply these limits for you.
  • Local launch is not local-only data processing. External services receive requests, and your client may pass tool results to its model provider. Check both destinations before sharing private data.
  • Keep keys and browser session files out of shared config, repositories and screenshots. Know how to disconnect the server and separately revoke its credentials or account sessions.
