MCP server · Browser automation

Atlassian Browser MCP server

Lets your AI read and search Jira and Confluence using your own browser login, even behind company single sign-on.

Browser automation For it and development Developer Tools

This is a helper that connects your AI assistant to Jira and Confluence when your company uses a single sign-on page (like Okta or ADFS) and normal app passwords are not allowed. You log in once in a browser, and from then on your AI can look things up for you. It is handy if you work somewhere with strict login rules but still want AI help with tickets and pages.

What is an MCP server? The 30-second version

On its own, your AI can only chat. An MCP server is a small helper program that gives your AI a new skill or a connection to an app. This one connects your AI to your company's Jira and Confluence, using the same browser session you already signed in with. So when you ask about a ticket or a page, the AI can actually go and fetch it for you.

What this MCP server does

You ask your AI something about Jira or Confluence, like finding a ticket or reading a page. The AI passes your request to this helper. The helper uses the cookies saved from your one-time browser login to talk to your company's Jira or Confluence. It brings the answer back, and the AI shows it to you in the chat. If your login has expired, it tells you to log in again instead of guessing.

Flow diagram: you ask your AI “Find the Jira ticket PROJ-123 and summarize it”, the Atlassian Browser MCP server connects it to Jira and Confluence, and you get back answers in your chat.

“Show me the Confluence page about our release process”
“Search Confluence for pages mentioning the new onboarding checklist”

What it gives back to you

You get back plain answers in the chat: ticket details, search results as a list, or the text of a Confluence page. The AI may summarize or reformat what it found. If your session has expired, you get a message asking you to log in again. It does not change anything in Jira or Confluence unless you ask it to use a tool that does.
