Atlassian MCP server
by sooperset
Lets your AI search, read, and update your Jira tickets and Confluence pages for you.
This is a small helper that connects your AI assistant to Atlassian, the company behind Jira (where teams track tasks and bugs) and Confluence (where teams keep notes and documents). Once it is set up, you can just ask your AI in plain words to find a ticket, read a page, or create something new. It is handy for anyone who spends part of their day inside Jira or Confluence and wishes they could just ask instead of clicking around.
What is an MCP server? The 30-second version
On its own, your AI can only chat with you. It cannot see your Jira board or your Confluence pages. An MCP server is a small helper program that gives your AI a new skill, in this case the ability to talk to your Atlassian account. You add this helper once, and from then on your AI can look things up in Jira and Confluence, or make changes there, whenever you ask.
What this MCP server does
You type a request in plain words, like asking about your tickets or a document. Your AI reads that request and passes it to this helper. The helper then talks to your Jira or Confluence account using your login details. It brings back what it found, or makes the change you asked for. You see the result right in the chat, as a list, a summary, or a short confirmation.

Try asking your AI
- “Find issues assigned to me in the PROJ project”
- “Search Confluence for onboarding docs”
- “Create a bug ticket for the login issue”
- “Update the status of PROJ-123 to Done”
What it gives back to you
You get answers in the chat, in plain words. That might be a list of tickets with their titles and statuses, the text of a Confluence page, or a short confirmation that something was created or updated. If you asked to change something, it tells you what it changed.
Before you start
What you need
- An Atlassian account (Jira and/or Confluence)
- An API token from Atlassian, which is like a password just for apps (the Atlassian website gives you one for free)
- The web address of your company's Atlassian site, for example https://your-company.atlassian.net
- A tool called uvx on your computer, or Docker if you prefer that route
Good to know
This helper can create, change, and update things in your Jira and Confluence accounts, so double-check before you tell it to make changes, and never share your API token with anyone.
Install it with your AI
Add Atlassian MCP server to your AI, no technical skills needed
You don't install anything by hand. You copy one prompt, paste it into an AI that can work on your computer, and it checks, installs and connects the server for you, asking you when it needs something.
Sign in to get the install prompt
Members get a ready-made prompt that lets the Claude desktop app check Atlassian MCP server, install it and connect it for them, step by step. You don't need any technical skills: you copy, paste and answer a few questions. Your connected AI can also find and install any of the 4,066 MCP servers here for you.
Who it's for
Anyone who uses Jira or Confluence at work, like project managers, support agents, developers, and team leads who want to ask questions instead of clicking through menus.
