From the repository

Configure your MCP client (e.g., Claude Desktop, Cursor) with the uvx command and set environment variables for JIRA_URL, JIRA_USERNAME, JIRA_API_TOKEN, CONFLUENCE_URL, CONFLUENCE_USERNAME, and CONFLUENCE_API_TOKEN (or JIRA_PERSONAL_TOKEN for Server/Data Center). Then ask natural language queries like “Find issues assigned to me” or “Search Confluence for onboarding docs.”

Claude Desktop / Cursor

Paste into your MCP client config file to install this server.

Get Your API Token Go to https://id.atlassian.com/manage-profile/security/api-tokens and create a token. > For Server/Data Center, use a Personal Access Token instead. See [Authentication](https://mcp-atlassian.soomiles.com/docs/authentication). ### 2. Configure Your IDE Add to your Claude Desktop or Cursor MCP configuration: ```json { "mcpServers": { "mcp-atlassian": { "command": "uvx", "args": ["mcp-atlassian"], "env": { "JIRA_URL": "https://your-company.atlassian.net", "JIRA_USERNAME": "your.email@company.com", "JIRA_API_TOKEN": "your_api_token", "CONFLUENCE_URL": "https://your-company.atlassian.net/wiki", "CONFLUENCE_USERNAME": "your.email@company.com", "CONFLUENCE_API_TOKEN": "your_api_token" } } } } ``` > **Server/Data Center users**: Use `JIRA_PERSONAL_TOKEN` instead of `JIRA_USERNAME` + `JIRA_API_TOKEN`. See [Authentication](https://mcp-atlassian.soomiles.com/docs/authentication) for details. ### 3. Start Using Ask your AI assistant to: - **"Find issues assigned to me in PROJ project"** - **"Search Confluence for onboarding docs"** - **"Create a bug ticket for the login issue"** - **"Update the status of PROJ-123 to Done"** ## Documentation Full documentation is available at **[mcp-atlassian.soomiles.com](https://mcp-atlassian.soomiles.com)**.
