Is the Atlassian MCP down? Requests hang after being connected and authenticated.

[Ryan Elkins]

I connected the Atlassian MCP yesterday through Claude Code. It was working fine.

Today it won't work at all. Claude Code shows I'm connected and authenticated, but when it makes calls it just hangs indefinitely (I let it run for nearly 40 minutes at one point). I disconnected and reconnected, but that didn't fix anything. 

I've since tested it a few more times - every time I make a call, even just to get my own user info, it just hangs indefinitely. I did test making other web calls, to make sure it wasn't an issue on my end, but that seems to work fine as well. 

Is it down, am I doing something wrong - is there a better way to test it?

I ran the Reconnect option from Claude's /mcp command and it seems to be working again, now. Not sure if it was the command or just good timing with something else, but I'll leave that here in case it helps anyone else. 

Options are View Tools, Re-authneticate (I tried this, but even after authenticating again it didn't work), Clear Authentication (tried this as well, followed by re authenticating again, also didn't work), and Reconnect, which did end up working.
