Atlassian official MCP server

What it does

The Atlassian MCP server connects Claude Code directly to Jira and Confluence so you can read, create, and update issues and pages without leaving the editor.

Features

  • Jira issue operations — search, create, comment, transition status
  • Confluence page management — read, create, update pages and spaces
  • Natural language queries — e.g. “show me all open P1 bugs assigned to me this sprint”
  • Context preservation — stay in Claude Code instead of switching to the browser

Use cases

  2. When opening a PR, auto-link the related Jira issue.
  3. Review incomplete items on the sprint board and plan work by priority.

When to use it

  • Triage Jira issues and transition tickets in bulk
  • Generate Confluence documentation from code changes
  • Link code changes to Jira tickets without leaving the PR context
