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 an open-source project written primarily in Python, with 5.9k stars on GitHub. It was last updated in September 2026.
