Atlassian MCP Server
Atlassian's own MCP server covers both Jira and Confluence in a single server. Once installed you can just say "list every unassigned bug in this sprint" or "create a Confluence page from these meeting notes".
It helps most with writing issues — the AI can see your project's existing field structure and label scheme, so the issues it creates match your team's conventions instead of being a bare title and one sentence.
What it does for you
Lets your AI operate Jira / Confluence — query tickets, create issues, read/write docs, managing projects and wikis through chat.
Capabilities
- Query / create Jira issues
- Read / write Confluence pages
Once installed, try asking your AI
Say this directly in Claude / Cursor or any client with this server connected
- ›“File this bug as a Jira ticket assigned to me”
- ›“Which tickets are still open in this sprint?”
Install / Connect
# No npm package — install from source.
# See the repo's README for the exact command:
# https://github.com/atlassian/atlassian-mcp-serverFollow the official README; env and args vary per server.
Why use it
Good for: anyone shuttling information between Jira and Confluence all day, especially team leads and PMs.
Before connecting: this is the official implementation and authenticates through Atlassian OAuth. The community's sooperset/mcp-atlassian has wider adoption and supports self-hosted Server/Data Center — worth a look if you're not on Cloud.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does it support self-hosted Jira Server / Data Center?
The official server targets Atlassian Cloud. For self-hosted, look at the community mcp-atlassian implementation.
Will the AI edit my issues directly?
It depends on the scopes you grant. If you only want lookups, grant read-only scopes during OAuth.
