Summary

The Atlassian Rovo MCP Server securely bridges Atlassian Cloud products (Jira, Confluence, Compass) with external AI platforms, IDEs, and agent tools. It enables developers, content creators, and project teams to interact with Atlassian data in real-time—summarizing, searching, creating, and automating tasks—directly from their preferred environments, reducing context switching.

How It Works

It employs a secure OAuth 2.1 flow, ensuring all interactions respect existing user permissions within Atlassian Cloud. Clients connect to the server endpoint https://mcp.atlassian.com/v1/mcp, triggering a browser-based OAuth process. Post-authorization, clients stream data and receive real-time responses. All communication is encrypted via HTTPS (TLS 1.2+), and access is governed by granular project/space roles.

Quick Start & Requirements

• Installation: Automatic "just-in-time" deployment via OAuth 2.1 (3LO) consent flow upon first user engagement; not a Marketplace app.
• Prerequisites: Atlassian Cloud site (Jira, Compass, Confluence), modern browser for OAuth, and a supported client (e.g., OpenAI ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or MCP-compatible clients). Local setups require Node.js v18+ for the mcp-remote proxy. The initial user must have access to requested Atlassian apps.

Highlighted Details

• Enables real-time summarization, search, creation, and updates of Jira issues, Confluence pages, and Compass components from external AI tools.
• Supports major LLMs (OpenAI, Claude, Gemini) and custom MCP-compatible integrations.
• Automates repetitive workflows, such as generating Jira tickets from notes.
• Integrates securely, respecting user permissions and organizational IP allowlisting.

Maintenance & Community

• Support via Atlassian Support Portal.
• Feedback and feature requests on Atlassian Community.
• No specific details on core maintainers, sponsorships, or public roadmaps are provided.

Licensing & Compatibility

• Specific license not detailed; appears to be a proprietary Atlassian service.
• Compatibility for commercial use or closed-source linking is not explicitly defined.

Limitations & Caveats

Requires an active Atlassian Cloud subscription. MCP clients/servers are susceptible to AI security risks (e.g., prompt injection); users must trust integrations and apply least privilege. Initial setup requires a site administrator to complete the OAuth 2.1 consent flow. IP allowlisting organizations must configure policies to permit MCP server traffic. Functionality depends on user permissions and client platform capabilities.
