MCP for Jira Goals/Projects (Atlas)

[Ryan Beymer]

I've attempted to have AI reach out to Jira Goals/Projects (Atlas) via MCP but it doesn't have that functionality. Are there plans to add this tool to the existing MCP tools in the future? 

Context:
While the project & goal updates allow for following (curating) on a per user and even on a tag basis, there is a need to take these granular updates out of the system and share with leadership and possibly add additional information for a single consolidated update. 

It would be great to be able to consume the granular updates via AI (MCP) and then generate the content in the final format/tool.

As of now, the Remote MCP Server, Atlassian’s AI integration layer, is in public beta, but it does not yet support Jira Goals (Atlas) or Project-specific data via MCP. The only resources currently available via MCP are Jira issues, Confluence content, and Compass (if applicable).

What’s Available Today

• The Remote MCP Server allows AI tools like Claude, Cursor, and others to interact with Jira and Confluence data through secure, permission'd access. You can summarize issues, create or update work items, and perform bulk actions, all via natural language prompts.
• It also supports integration with Compass, and is powered by OAuth 2.1 with enterprise-grade security, scalability, and privacy controls.

What's Not Supported Yet

• Jira Goals and Project (Atlas) objects are currently not exposed via MCP, they’re beyond the beta’s initial scope.
• There’s no public roadmap indicating when or if Goals/Projects support will be added, although Atlassian strongly encourages feedback from customers to influence future development.

What You Can Do

• Provide feedback or upvote an existing thread, like the one in the Atlassian Community where this limitation is already discussed.
• Submit a feature request via the Atlassian support portal or Community, detailing your use case, such as extracting granular Goals/Projects updates via AI for leadership summaries.
• Monitor official announcements on the Atlassian blog and Developer documentation as MCP evolves. New capabilities may be added in future releases.
