# Atlassian Rovo MCP Server (Jira & Confluence)

Official cloud-hosted Atlassian Rovo MCP Server that securely connects AI assistants and agents (like Claude, Cursor, VS Code) to your Jira, Confluence, and Compass data for real-time search, summarization, creation, and updates using natural language — all while respecting user permissions and without caching content.

## Overview

The Atlassian Rovo MCP Server is the official remote Model Context Protocol (MCP) server from Atlassian. It acts as a secure, cloud-hosted bridge between your Atlassian Cloud site (Jira, Confluence, and Compass) and external AI tools, IDEs, and agent platforms. No local installation is required — it uses a simple OAuth flow and operates as a proxy that respects your existing permissions.

Launched in 2025 and hosted on Cloudflare, it brings Atlassian context directly into tools like Anthropic Claude, Cursor, VS Code, and other MCP-compatible clients.

## Key Features

- **Remote & Zero-Setup**: Fully hosted remote MCP server — connect via `https://mcp.atlassian.com/v1/mcp` (SSE deprecated after June 2026).
- **Secure Proxy**: Does not store or cache your Jira/Confluence data; acts only within the signed-in user's permissions.
- **Read & Write Operations**: Search, summarize, create, update, and bulk-manage Jira issues, Confluence pages, and Compass components.
- **Natural Language Support**: AI agents can perform complex tasks like "Find all open bugs in Project X" or "Create a story and link it to a Confluence page".
- **Broad Client Compatibility**: Works with Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code (via built-in MCP support), and other MCP clients.
- **Enterprise Ready**: Rate limits based on your Jira/Confluence plan; complies with Atlassian Privacy Policy and Data Processing Addendum.

## Supported Capabilities

- **Jira**: Search issues with JQL, get issue details, create/update issues, add comments, manage sprints, watchers, and more.
- **Confluence**: Search pages, summarize content, create/update pages.
- **Compass**: Access components and related data.
- **Cross-tool Workflows**: Link issues to pages, summarize work across products, bulk operations.

## Use Cases

- **AI-Powered Project Management**: Let Claude or Cursor understand your sprint, create tickets, or update status from natural language prompts.
- **Context-Aware Coding**: Bring Jira issue details and Confluence documentation directly into your IDE for better code suggestions and task automation.
- **Automation & Orchestration**: Build multi-agent workflows that interact with Jira alongside GitHub, Azure DevOps, or other MCP servers.
- **Knowledge Retrieval**: Quickly summarize Confluence pages or find related issues without leaving your AI chat.
- **Enterprise AI Adoption**: Safely extend powerful LLMs into regulated environments while maintaining data control.

## Getting Started

1. Ensure you have an Atlassian Cloud site with Jira, Confluence, or Compass.
2. In your MCP-compatible client (Claude, Cursor, VS Code, etc.), add the server endpoint: `https://mcp.atlassian.com/v1/mcp`.
3. Authenticate via the secure browser-based OAuth 2.1 flow.
4. Start using natural language commands — the AI will automatically use the available Jira/Confluence tools.

Full setup guides are available in Atlassian Support documentation.

## Community & Self-Hosted Alternatives

For on-prem Jira Server/Data Center or additional customization, community projects exist such as [mcp-atlassian](https://github.com/sooperset/mcp-atlassian) and various open-source Jira-only MCP servers on GitHub.
