Prerequisites
Python 3.10 or newer and uvx.
Jira and/or Confluence Cloud, Server, or Data Center access.
Atlassian API tokens, personal access tokens, or OAuth configuration with the required scopes.
MCP client such as Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, VS Code, or another compatible host.
Agreement on which Jira projects, Confluence spaces, and service desk queues an agent may access.
MCP Atlassian is a community MCP server for Jira and Confluence. It supports
Atlassian Cloud and Server/Data Center deployments and exposes tools for Jira
issues, Confluence pages, search, comments, attachments, agile workflows, service
desk data, fields, versions, links, and metrics.
The project documents uvx, Docker, pip, and source installations plus stdio,
SSE, and streamable HTTP transport options.
These sources were reviewed on 2026-06-05. Prefer the live docs for current
authentication options, tool list, Cloud versus Server/Data Center compatibility,
HTTP transport guidance, and troubleshooting.
Features
Jira Cloud and Jira Server/Data Center support.
Confluence Cloud and Confluence Server/Data Center support.
API token, personal access token, and OAuth authentication paths.
Jira JQL search, issue creation, issue updates, transitions, comments,
worklogs, attachments, agile boards, sprints, versions, and service desk
tools.
Server/Data Center deployments use personal access tokens instead of Cloud email
and API-token pairs. See the authentication docs for OAuth and deployment
details.
Use Cases
Search Jira issues with JQL and summarize active work.
Create or update Jira issues after human review.
Transition tickets through a workflow.
Search Confluence with CQL and retrieve relevant pages.
Update Confluence runbooks or release notes with reviewed edits.
Safety and Privacy
Atlassian tools often hold operational and customer-sensitive data. Use
least-privilege tokens, limit projects and spaces, and require approval before an
agent changes issue state, page content, comments, attachments, or service desk
records.
Treat issue contents, Confluence pages, attachments, comments, project metadata,
and API tokens as sensitive. Do not expose production Atlassian content to model
providers without organizational approval.
Duplicate Check

How it compares
MCP Atlassian Server side by side with 3 alternatives on trust, install, platform support, and disclosed safety notes — all from reviewed registry metadata.
3 trust signals differ across this comparison (Package trust, Source provenance, Submitter).
Community MCP server for Jira and Confluence that supports Atlassian Cloud and Server/Data Center deployments with search, create, update, transition, comments, attachments, pages, and agile tools.
Third-party MCP server for searching Apple Developer Documentation, framework APIs, Swift and Objective-C references, sample code, platform compatibility, documentation updates, and WWDC session data.
✓mcp-atlassian can search, create, update, transition, comment on, and delete Jira issues or Confluence pages depending on configured permissions.
Tools can modify project status, issue fields, worklogs, comments, page content, attachments, labels, versions, components, and service desk data.
Require human approval before creating or transitioning issues, changing permissions-sensitive fields, updating Confluence pages, deleting content, or posting comments.
Protect API tokens, PATs, OAuth credentials, and environment files.
✓Scope Atlassian access and review issue or page writes because updates can notify teams and change project records.
✓Memory Bank MCP can read, create, and update files inside the configured memory-bank root.
Do not point `MEMORY_BANK_ROOT` at a home directory, source repository root, cloud-sync folder, or any directory containing secrets.
Avoid auto-approving write and update tools until the expected file structure and naming rules are established.
The path validator rejects path traversal and slash-containing file/project names, but users should still keep the root directory narrow and dedicated.
Docker mode requires a bind mount for the memory bank; review the host path and container path before granting write access.
✓This is a third-party MCP server, not an official Apple project.
The server retrieves public documentation and metadata, but user queries can still reveal private project context to the MCP client, model provider, logs, and network services.
Documentation answers should be checked against the live Apple documentation before shipping platform-specific, beta, deprecated, or compatibility-sensitive code.
Use `@latest` intentionally when you want the newest package; pin a version when reproducible builds or locked team tooling are required.
Privacy notes
✓Jira issue content, Confluence pages, comments, attachments, user profiles, service desk data, agile metadata, internal links, and credentials may be exposed to the MCP client and model.
Atlassian project data can contain customer incidents, security vulnerabilities, roadmap plans, HR data, legal notes, or internal runbooks.
Review workspace permissions and model-provider retention before connecting production Atlassian instances.
✓Jira tickets, Confluence pages, comments, attachments, user metadata, and organization details may be sent through tool calls.
✓Memory-bank files can contain project plans, architecture notes, decisions, credentials accidentally pasted into notes, customer context, meeting details, or personal information.
Tool calls may expose project names, file names, memory contents, root-path assumptions, and update text to the MCP client and model provider.
Multi-project listing can reveal all projects stored under the memory-bank root.
Auto-approved memory tools can persist model-generated statements as project memory without human review.
Back up important memory-bank directories and review retention expectations before sharing them across clients or machines.
✓Prompts and tool calls may include framework names, API choices, platform targets, WWDC interests, sample-code requests, app architecture details, feature plans, and compatibility constraints.
MCP client logs and model transcripts can retain documentation queries and returned API text outside Apple's documentation site.
Avoid sending proprietary source code, unreleased product names, customer requirements, private bundle identifiers, or internal roadmap details when a public documentation lookup is enough.
