What it does
Atlassian's own cloud-hosted MCP server, connecting compatible AI clients to Jira, Confluence, Jira Service Management, Bitbucket and Compass in real time. Ask it to summarise a planning page, raise tickets from meeting notes, or update issues in natural language. Auth is OAuth 2.1 or API tokens, and every action stays within the permissions the user already has — nothing new is exposed. Requires an Atlassian Cloud site (not Data Center), and organisation admins control access. Apache-2.0.
