Authentication Setup First, generate the necessary authentication tokens for Confluence & Jira: #### For Cloud 1. Go to https://id.atlassian.com/manage-profile/security/api-tokens 2. Click **Create API token**, name it 3. Copy the token immediately #### For Server/Data Center 1. Go to your profile (avatar) → **Profile** → **Personal Access Tokens** 2. Click **Create token**, name it, set expiry 3. Copy the token immediately ### 2. Installation Choose one of these installation methods: ```bash # Using uv (recommended) brew install uv uvx mcp-atlassian # Using pip pip install mcp-atlassian # Using Docker git clone https://github.com/sooperset/mcp-atlassian.git cd mcp-atlassian docker build -t mcp/atlassian . # Using Smithery npx -y @smithery/cli install mcp-atlassian --client claude ``` ### 3. Configuration and Usage You can configure the MCP server using command line arguments. The server supports using either Confluence, Jira, or both services - include only the arguments needed for your use case. #### Required Arguments For Cloud: ```bash uvx mcp-atlassian \ --confluence-url https://your-company.atlassian.net/wiki \ --confluence-username your.email@company.com \ --confluence-token your_api_token \ --jira-url https://your-company.atlassian.net \ --jira-username your.email@company.com \ --jira-token your_api_token ``` For Server/Data Center: ```bash uvx mcp-atlassian \ --confluence-url https://confluence.your-company.com \ --confluence-personal-token your_token \ --jira-url https://jira.your-company.com \ --jira-personal-token your_token ``` > **Note:** You can configure just Confluence, just Jira, or both services. Simply include only the arguments for the service(s) you want to use. For example, to use only Confluence Cloud, you would only need `--confluence-url`, `--confluence-username`, and `--confluence-token`. #### Optional Arguments - `--transport`: Choose transport type (`stdio` [default] or `sse`) - `--port`: Port number for SSE transport (default: 8000) - `--[no-]confluence-ssl-verify`: Toggle SSL verification for Confluence Server/DC - `--[no-]jira-ssl-verify`: Toggle SSL verification for Jira Server/DC - `--confluence-spaces-filter`: Comma-separated list of space keys to filter Confluence search results (e.g., "DEV,TEAM,DOC") - `--jira-projects-filter`: Comma-separated list of project keys to filter Jira search results (e.g., "PROJ,DEV,SUPPORT") - `--read-only`: Run in read-only mode (disables all write operations) - `--verbose`: Increase logging verbosity (can be used multiple times, default is WARNING level) - `-v` or `--verbose`: Set logging to INFO level - `-vv` or `--verbose --verbose`: Set logging to DEBUG level > **Note:** All configuration options can also be set via environment variables. See the `.env.example` file in the repository for the full list of available environment variables. ## IDE Integration ### Claude Desktop Setup Using uvx (recommended) - Cloud: ```json { "mcpServers": { "mcp-atlassian": { "command": "uvx", "args": [ "mcp-atlassian", "--confluence-url=https://your-company.atlassian.net/wiki", "--confluence-username=your.email@company.com", "--confluence-token=your_api_token", "--jira-url=https://your-company.atlassian.net", "--jira-username=your.email@company.com", "--jira-token=your_api_token" ] } } } ``` <details> <summary>Using uvx (recommended) - Server/Data Center </summary> ```json { "mcpServers": { "mcp-atlassian": { "command": "uvx", "args": [ "mcp-atlassian", "--confluence-url=https://confluence.your-company.com", "--confluence-personal-token=your_token", "--jira-url=https://jira.your-company.com", "--jira-personal-token=your_token" ] } } } ``` </details> <details> <summary>Using uvx - Confluence with Basic Auth (older servers)</summary> ```json { "mcpServers": { "mcp-atlassian": { "command": "uvx", "args": [ "mcp-atlassian", "--confluence-url=https://confluence.your-company.com", "--confluence-username=your.email@company.com", "--confluence-token=your_password" ] } } } ``` </details> <details> <summary>Using uvx - Confluence only</summary> ```json { "mcpServers": { "mcp-atlassian": { "command": "uvx", "args": [ "mcp-atlassian", "--confluence-url=https://your-company.atlassian.net/wiki", "--confluence-username=your.email@company.com", "--confluence-token=your_api_token" ] } } } ``` </details> <details> <summary>Using uvx - Jira only</summary> ```json { "mcpServers": { "mcp-atlassian": { "command": "uvx", "args": [ "mcp-atlassian", "--jira-url=https://your-company.atlassian.net", "--jira-username=your.email@company.com", "--jira-token=your_api_token" ] } } } ``` </details> <details> <summary>Using pip</summary> > Note: Examples below use Cloud configuration.
