Using the Atlassian Remote MCP Server beta

[Ewoud Frielink]

Pls whitelist OpenAI

[Roger Abelenda]

I am also trying to integrate one of our applications with Atlassian MCP but I am getting that our url is not whitelisted to be used as redirect url. How can we whitelist a particular domain? Is it on the roadmap? any ETA?

Thanks

[Pierre Bergamin]

So OpenAI launched custom connectors today. I tried to connect the Atlassian MCP server to it and it comes back with an error that the URL isn't whitelisted. Can you please add it? ta!

[Regan Marshall]

Open AI just released connectors and I can add a custom MCP server but... Atlassian will need to allow list Open AI. Can we please have access. 

[Adrian Mizzi]

The redirect URI is not allowed, the URL is not part of Atlassian whitelisted domains for registered MCP Clients. Redirect URI https://chatgpt.com/connector_platform_oauth_redirect

Please whitelist for OpenAI / ChatGPT 

[Boeckle Dominik]

Since Open AI now also allows MCPs in Chatgpt, is there a time horizon until when this domain will be released?

Using mcp-remote and adding cloudId in the prompt or system prompt did the job. Working on Cursor and VSCode

[Geoffrey Maddock]

Trying to get the remote MCP server working, and trying this config in .vscode/mcp.json:

"mcp": {

  "servers": {

    "atlassian": {

       "url": "https://mcp.atlassian.com/v1/sse",

       "transport": "sse",

       "command": "mcp-atlassian",

       "args": [

           "--jira-url", "https://your-company.atlassian.net",

           "--jira-username", "your.email@company.com",

           "--jira-token", "your_api_token",

           "--confluence-url", "https://your-company.atlassian.net/wiki",

           "--confluence-username", "your.email@company.com",

           "--confluence-token", "your_api_token"
        ],

      "env": {},

      "disabled": false

       }
   }
}

But in the output, just getting an error the the access token is invalid:

025-06-05 20:39:49.264 [error] Server exited before responding to `initialize` request.

Any tips on what to try?  I have the token I got from  here input for my jira-token:
https://id.atlassian.com/manage-profile/security/api-tokens

Anyone been able to get this working with Cursor? I get to the "Needs login" part in Cursor, then try to authenticate and it just spins when trying to complete that step.

[Paras Patel]

You can use this page for Cursor and VS Code : https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/why-atlassians-remote-mcp-trend-setteran-elevated-class-paras-patel-ujswc/?trackingId=i5X%2FaOEWSayA67Un%2F4Bv%2FA%3D%3D

I've been using the remote MCP for a while now. All of a sudden, it stopped working. It loads up the authorization page in the browser and then when I accept, I just get a "something went wrong" page repeatedly. 

What is the magic incantation that gets you past authorization?

[Mehdi Mhamdi]

I'm trying to do the cloud MCP integration but i'm getting the same error as @Dayne Olivier

Any solutions so far? 

[Chris Gerber]

Also interested in connecting our ChatGPT Team plan to our Jira Premium Cloud instance. Is there an ETA?

[Dayne Olivier]

OMG! It worked.... the "Something went wrong" issue appears to be resolved.

I noticed that the list of permissions was massively reduced this time.

A quick reflection on this... The world of agential AI has made such a profound difference in our work over the past few months. This MCP is just one example of that.

It has completely changed the way I interact with content. So much so that creating tickets manually is now such a chore that I don't want to do it. 

It took the authorization failure to highlight just how much my workflow now relies on it.

A very, very, very big thank you to the Atlassian team for whatever it was that you did to fix that issue. I am absolutely loving the MCP!

[Daniel Cotter]

Just tested on Claude, would love to see this chat ChatGPT soon

[Dusan Spaic]

I added with success Atlassian MCP inside Windsurf (should be similar / same with VSC).It works well; We can use cascade (AI chat) to create and list work items, copy comments, etc works well (after giving it a cloud id).

I would also like to try using programmatically Atlassian MCP instead of API REST in some node scripts. But I always get error:

Unauthorized; scope does not match

Did anyone managed to call mcp from your code?
Thanks

[David Hassan]

I am getting this error message, am I missing something?

{
  "type": "error",
  "error": {
    "type": "permission_error",
    "message": "Invalid authorization"
  }
}

[Josef Vlček]

For me it shows authorization page, which I cant accept. But there is message, that our site admin must allow it. With admin, we went through whole atlassian admin portal and didnt find any request (either in access requests nor connected apps page). Do you someone know, how to do it?

[Luke Hollenback]

Getting the same issue as Dayne Olivier and others above ("Something went wrong.") when trying to authenticate with one of our Atlassian sites (that is Jira-only). Works for our other one without issue (one that is Confluence-only).

Help?

[Adrián Plaza]

Is there any news related to the whitelist for OpenAI/ChatGPT?

[Thomas Grefsrud]

I'm having issues creating tasks due to mandatory custom fields that have a list of predefined values to choose from. Even instructing the agent to use the precise values I see in dev tools when creating an issue via browser it responds with a bad request:

Failed to create issue: Bad Request. {"errorMessages":[],"errors":{"customfield_xxxx":"<field name> is required.","customfield_xxxx":"<field name> is required.","customfield_xxxx":"<field name> is required."}}

Where xxxx is the id of the custom field and <field name> is the name. 

Could we get an endpoint to fetch valid entries for a given custom field that it can use to populate the request? 

[Satheesh Balachandran]

Hi, 

What are the available authentication mechanism's available to this MCP server? Would it be only the OAuth 3LO ? 

Can it be authenticated via PAT or API tokens so we could attach this MCP into an agent which would run headless? 

Thanks!

[Žydrūnė Mačiukaitė]

I'm also encountering authorization issues, mcp.atlassian.com/v1/sse returns an error:

{"error":"invalid_token","error_description":"Missing or invalid access token"}

[Alejandro Osorio]

Is there a way to configure this MCP with Google ADK?

[Dmitriy Redkin]

@Kun Chen really awesome work. How do we get whitelisted as a client that Atlassian MCP connects with? https://syncado.ai/
