history

Project history and usage

MCP Atlassian is a Model Context Protocol server for Jira and Confluence. Its official README describes support for Atlassian Cloud and Server/Data Center deployments and presents it as a bridge between MCP-compatible AI clients and Atlassian work data.

Project history

The repository was created in December 2024, shortly after the Model Context Protocol ecosystem began expanding around local tool servers. The project publishes dedicated documentation at mcp-atlassian.soomiles.com as well as an llms.txt and llms-full.txt documentation surface.

The README documents uvx, Docker, pip, and source installation paths, along with environment-variable configuration for Jira and Confluence URLs, usernames, API tokens, and personal access tokens.

Adoption history

By July 2026, official GitHub metadata showed thousands of stars and more than a thousand forks, unusually high visibility for a narrowly scoped integration server. The supplied package facts list Homebrew packaging, while the README also advertises PyPI version and download badges.

The project is part of the practical MCP server wave: teams want AI assistants to search tickets, inspect Confluence pages, and create or update Jira issues without bespoke integrations in every client.

How it is used

The quick start has users create an Atlassian API token, add an mcp-atlassian command to an MCP client configuration, and pass Jira and Confluence connection details through environment variables.

Documented use cases include searching Jira with JQL, fetching issues, creating and updating issues, searching Confluence with CQL, reading pages, creating pages, and adding comments.

Why package nerds care

For package managers, mcp-atlassian is significant because it packages a workplace integration as a local MCP server rather than as a SaaS connector. The value is in making a complex enterprise API surface installable as a command.
