Quick Start
1. Get Your API Token
Go to https://id.atlassian.com/manage-profile/security/api-tokens and create a token.
For Server/Data Center, use a Personal Access Token instead. See Authentication.
Add to your Claude Desktop or Cursor MCP configuration:
{
"mcpServers": {
"mcp-atlassian": {
"command": "uvx",
"args": ["mcp-atlassian"],
"env": {
"JIRA_URL": "https://your-company.atlassian.net",
"JIRA_USERNAME": "your.email@company.com",
"JIRA_API_TOKEN": "your_api_token",
"CONFLUENCE_URL": "https://your-company.atlassian.net/wiki",
"CONFLUENCE_USERNAME": "your.email@company.com",
"CONFLUENCE_API_TOKEN": "your_api_token"
}
}
}
}
Server/Data Center users: Use JIRA_PERSONAL_TOKEN instead of JIRA_USERNAME + JIRA_API_TOKEN. See Authentication for details.
Autohand Code
Use the same uvx server with your Atlassian credentials:
autohand mcp add mcp-atlassian env \
JIRA_URL=https://your-company.atlassian.net \
JIRA_USERNAME=your.email@company.com \
JIRA_API_TOKEN=your_api_token \
CONFLUENCE_URL=https://your-company.atlassian.net/wiki \
CONFLUENCE_USERNAME=your.email@company.com \
CONFLUENCE_API_TOKEN=your_api_token \
uvx mcp-atlassian
Add --scope project after add to keep the configuration in the current
project. See Autohand Code for current
installation and CLI details.
