Using the Atlassian Remote MCP Server beta

[Laura Krieter]

Is there anything that needs to be done on the Atlassian side in my Jira/Confluence instance to enable this?  I see instructions for Claude, but nothing on the Atlassian side.  Also what if I want some of my projects excluded from this interface?  Can I make some projects as "private"?

[JoaoCC]

Are there any plans to have the option to limit MCP integration to being read-only globally?
Ideally, we should also be able to define permissions for the MCP read/write ability per project/space.

Hi everyone - we’re thrilled by the excitement around the launch! We’re actively working with partners to bring Remote MCP support to more tools - stay tuned.

Commenting to stay here, love this feature, would love to get started using it with VSC

[Jeff Capron]

I love Claude, don't get me wrong, but most people are using MCP servers in their IDEs..  Please get the docs up for how we can do this.

[Andy Kaminski]

Is anyone using this MCP server with Claude Team/Enterprise?

Is it any better than the open source mcp-atlassian by https://github.com/sooperset/mcp-atlassian, which works with Cursor and many other tools?

[Martin Cleaver]

Hi - are you working with the GitHub project?

How does this compare to Atlassian's MCP? · sooperset/mcp-atlassian · Discussion #385

Thanks,

@Kun Chen Hi, great work here - am wondering if 2LOi would be supported when using Atlassian MCP sever in SSE mode with shared client and if there is documentation for this method.

Thanks in advance,

Van

I'm sure the team is aware, and the pace of change with MCP is frantic, but the SSE transport is deprecated. In fact, when you try and connect using the Anthropic MCP Inspector:

New SSE connection. NOTE: The sse transport is deprecated and has been replaced by streamable-http
Query parameters: [Object: null prototype] {
url: 'https://mcp.atlassian.com/v1/sse',
transportType: 'sse'
}

I'm sure you are across it.

Super excited to add support for it in our MCP Client as soon as you open up the callback whitelist. Will we need to register for that? Or is it just work in progress?

Wow! This is awesome!

I added the Atlassian integration to my Claude Desktop but when I press the Connect button, I get redirected to this URL in the browser: https://claude.ai/api/organizations/6ed4c771-5366-418a-8e2e-xxxxxxxxxx/mcp/start-auth/3063db73-2e21-42a5-945c-xxxxxxxxxx?open_in_browser=1&fromDesktopApp=true

which displays:

{"type":"error","error":{"type":"not_found_error","message":"Not found"}}

 Not sure what I'm doing wrong.

@parthasarathi.u - with regards to your VSCode GHCP usage in this comment: https://community.atlassian.com/forums/Atlassian-Platform-articles/Using-the-Atlassian-Remote-MCP-Server-Beta/bc-p/3012555#M240 

How are you getting vs code to recognize mcp-remote to use this? mine doesn't seem to be recognizing

[Phillip Grant]

Can this connect to jira + confluence server as well, or does it only work for cloud?

[Domon]

How does one set up authentication for the official MCP server announced here?

[anj]

Unable  to connect via sse in GHCP...Any other setting to be done???Throwing connection state error, 

Connection state: Error spawn mcp-atlassian ENOENT

[杰 王]

Hope to be able to use it in vscode soon

[Mikael Nakajima]

Make it work with Cline. Most people are not using Claude Desktop...

[Cyran Eilcan]

Please add support for a wider range of MCP clients. Right now it appears to only support Claude and localhost redirects in the auth flow. Other clients receive an error like this one:

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

[Swain_ Alok Ranjan _FT RPD SSP VVD-IN_]

Does open-source MCP client will be able to access this URL?

I want to connect this tool using my python script to test MCP tool capabilities. Is it possible in Beta version. 

Or are there any roadmap which is targeting this task. 

[Asaf Kivity]

Thanks for This.

Looking for support on Cursor. Any idea when will it be supported? 

Thanks,

[Kun Chen]

Hi everyone, many of you shared the feedback that it would be helpful to be able to use the MCP server from your IDEs or other desktop apps. Our team has been hard at work to address this, and today we're happy to share that we just shipped an update to the MCP server that now allows local clients to connect to it! 

Please check out https://community.atlassian.com/forums/Atlassian-Platform-articles/Atlassian-Remote-MCP-Server-beta-now-available-for-desktop/ba-p/3022084 for instructions!

We are using your mcp-atlassian. We have confirmed that it works well with stdio and SSE, but do you have any plans to support the streamableHTTP method as well?

[Andres Peña]

Hello everyone,

Just wanted to inform you that MCP is now available on Docker Hub (link here) and the documentation is very complete.

Additionally, to add the connection to Clause, simply go to Settings > Developer, click on Configuration, and add the MCP server in the JSON file.

You can find more details in the GitHub repository: MCP-Atlassian (link-here).

Example:

"atlassian": {
"command": "docker",

"run",

My company uses the server/data center version of Jira/Confluence, not Cloud. It looks like this only works with Cloud, is that correct?

I'm able to use the unofficial mcp-atlassian MCP tool but would much prefer to use the official one!

[Chaitawat Luckanasriwongs]

Can I connect this MCP server in my n8n workflow for ai agent?

[Albert Nerikat]

I managed to integrate n8n and Jira using the mcp-atlassian server. It was a challenge though. Please see the thread
