Getting this now on starting the Jira MCPd. It was working on June 6th . Any idea anyone ?

Looks like they removed compass from the OAUTH scopes.

This is working for me today 🥳.

[Satheesh Balachandran]

Hi, What are the available authentication mechanism available? Will be only via 3LO OAuth, where we have to open the URI in browser and authenticate to the server?

To connect this MCP with agents, are there options to connect via PAT or API Tokens on a headless service?

Hello @Kun Chen I'm getting an error while creating new tickets, and it says there are some required fields missing. However, AI agent is not able to add those required fields because they are all custom fields.

Are custom fields currently supported while creating new Jira tickets through MCP?

[Jose Martinez]

@Anjan Sp - Prompt the llm to fill out the required fields, guide the llm so that it fetches the ids of the custom fields before it creates the ticket.

example:
```
Create a new ticket ...

Fill out the following required fields:
* Name
* Acceptance Criteria
* ETC

Some of the required fields are custom fields - if you do not know the custom field ids, retrieve them from JIRA before creating the ticket.
```

I'm having this issues aways when I set the json configuration:  [mcpServers]message: The "file" argument must be of type string. Received undefined stack: TypeError: The "file" argument must be of type string. Received undefined

Has anyone stumbled upon the same trouble?

{
  "servers": {
    "mcpServers": {
      "atlassian": {
        "command": "npx",
        "args": [
          "-y",
          "mcp-remote",
          "https://mcp.atlassian.com/v1/sse"
        ]
      }
    }
  }
}

[Jose Martinez]

@Eduardo Pinzon you have to remove the outer "server" object.

It should work with the following:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "atlassian": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "mcp-remote",
        "https://mcp.atlassian.com/v1/sse"
      ]
    }
  }
}

while using tools to create new spaces or new pages in specific [personal] space, the spaceID requires a long value but the confluence page has either a string value [other spaces] or a very long numeric value starting with ~ causing errors in these tools. 

how can we find the long int spaceID?

I can't login using claude code anymore. It worked once, but stopped working a few days ago.

Everytime I try to authenticate by opening the provided link in a browser, it just states:

The redirect URI is not allowed, the URL is not part of Atlassian whitelisted domains for registered MCP Clients. Redirect URI

Already reported to claude code in case the client is misconfigured. If you could provide guidance on how to fix this, or fix it yourself, any help would be appreciated. Maybe you can also advise the claude code team how to correctly configure the client. Thank you.

I can authenticate and list the tools, but I am unable to use any of the tools.

atlassianUserInfo returns nothing, as does getAccessibleAtlassianResources. Just an empty array {}. I have tried with and without dummy arguments, etc, and they still just return an empty array. I also got the cloud-id for my organization and tried to list the confluence spaces, but it says I have not granted explicit access (I have, because on the auth page it asks explicitly if my user would like to grant access from MCP to the organization). Other times it says "failure listing resources: server atlassian-mcp-server does not support resources".

Has anyone been able to solve the issue where they can authenticate and list the tools but cannot otherwise use the MCP? I see others have had this problem too.

Sweet! Thank you :)

[Steven Bell]

I'd like to put in a feature request for the officially supported MCP server to be able to accept credentials as input in a way similar to https://github.com/sooperset/mcp-atlassian. This would allow the server to be accessed programmatically in agentic flows like GitHub Code Agent where there is no human auth available.

[Paul McGarry]

Is there a way to connect multiple sites?
I have Jira and Confluence in one site and some other Confluence docs in a seperate site and would like to be able to access both.
