Atlassian Remote MCP: Give Your AI Agent Access to Jira, Confluence, and Your Entire Work Graph

What It Does

Atlassian Remote MCP is the official bridge between AI agents (Claude, Cursor, Windsurf) and your Atlassian workspace. Instead of context-switching between your IDE and Jira/Confluence, your AI can now read issues, update sprint backlogs, search documentation, and create pages—all with OAuth-secured, permission-aware access.

The server unlocks two core capabilities:

Jira integration lets your agent create and search issues, run JQL queries for complex filtering, manage sprint backlogs, track epic progress, and transition work through your workflow. Works with both Jira Software and Service Management.

Confluence integration lets your agent search your knowledge base, read and create documentation, comment on pages, and navigate space hierarchies. Useful for pulling context from wiki pages or auto-generating documentation.

All actions respect your existing Atlassian permissions—your agent only sees what you'd see in Jira or Confluence.

How to Install

Install via npm:

npx -y @atlassian/mcp
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Then add to your Claude Desktop config:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "atlassian-remote-mcp": {
      "command": "npx -y @atlassian/mcp"
    }
  }
}
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

You'll authenticate via OAuth when you first connect. See the official Atlassian docs for setup on Cursor, Windsurf, and other clients.

Real-World Use Cases

  • Automate sprint planning: Ask Claude to search for all open bugs with a specific label, summarize blockers, and draft a sprint backlog update—all in one turn.
  • Pull context from your wiki: When reviewing code in Cursor, your agent can fetch relevant architecture docs or API standards from Confluence without you leaving the editor.
  • Generate issue summaries: Paste a GitHub PR link to Claude; it creates a Jira issue, links related epics, and updates the sprint board—no copy-paste required.
