Atlassian MCP Server
Official Atlassian Rovo MCP Server — a cloud-based bridge between Atlassian Cloud and any MCP-compatible AI tool. Enables AI agents to search, summarize, create, and update Jira issues, Confluence pages, and Compass components in real-time. Uses OAuth 2.1 or API token authentication, respects existing user permissions, and supports remote HTTP-streaming as well as local stdio via the mcp-remote proxy. Works with Claude, GitHub Copilot, Gemini CLI, VS Code, Cursor, and ChatGPT.
