Jira & Confluence MCP server
Lets your AI read and update Jira issues, sprints, comments and Confluence pages for you.
This is a helper that connects your AI assistant to your Jira and Confluence account. Once it is set up, you can ask your AI in plain words to look up a ticket, add a comment, or move a task along, and it does it for you. It is handy for anyone who spends part of their day in Jira, like project managers, team leads, developers and support staff.
What is an MCP server? The 30-second version
On its own, your AI can only chat with you. 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 Jira and Confluence, so it can look things up and make changes there when you ask. You stay in the chat, and the helper does the clicking in the background.
What this MCP server does
You type a request in your AI chat, like asking about a ticket or telling it to add a comment. Your AI passes that request to this helper. The helper then talks to your Jira or Confluence account using your login details. It brings the answer back and shows it in the chat, or it makes the change you asked for. You never have to open Jira yourself for these small jobs.

Try asking your AI
- “Show me all open bugs in the PROJ project”
- “Create a task in PROJ called Update the login page, assign it to me”
- “Add a comment to PROJ-123 saying the fix is ready for review”
- “Move PROJ-123 to In Progress”
- “What sprints are active on my board right now”
What it gives back to you
You get answers in the chat: lists of issues, project names, user details, sprint dates, or the text of a Confluence page. When you ask it to change something, it replies with a short confirmation, like Issue PROJ-123 updated successfully. Comments come back as a neat list with the author, the date and the text. Everything is shown in the chat window, so you can read it right there.
