atlassian-mcp-server
Provides a Spring Boot MCP (SSE-based) server that performs Atlassian OAuth2 (Jira + Confluence Cloud), stores encrypted tokens in a database, refreshes tokens automatically, and exposes MCP “tools” for Jira issue operations and Confluence page/space operations.
Score Breakdown
⚙ Agent Friendliness
🔒 Security
Security is partially addressed via encrypted token storage (Jasypt) and storing refresh/access tokens in a database. However, the README does not describe TLS enforcement requirements for the app endpoint, detailed token lifecycle/expiry semantics for the connection token, token revocation behavior, CSRF protections for OAuth callback endpoints, database encryption-at-rest controls, or dependency/CVE hygiene. It also instructs enabling logs for raw HTTP response debugging, which can risk leaking sensitive details if log redaction is not implemented.
⚡ Reliability
Best When
You can run a local or private Spring Boot service, complete Atlassian OAuth consent for the target user, and then let an agent call the exposed MCP tools using the connection token.
Avoid When
You need turnkey hosted SaaS reliability/SLA, or you can’t securely manage encryption passwords, database credentials, and per-user access tokens.
Use Cases
- • Jira issue retrieval/creation/update via an LLM agent
- • Confluence page search and content retrieval/summarization via an LLM agent
- • Creating Confluence pages from agent-generated content
- • Building agent workflows that act on a user’s Atlassian account after OAuth consent
Not For
- • Multi-tenant environments without strong isolation controls for per-principal tokens
- • Highly compliance-sensitive deployments that require documented security posture and auditability beyond the README
- • Public unauthenticated exposure of the MCP endpoint without additional network controls
Interface
Authentication
Flow described includes Atlassian OAuth2 token exchange with offline_access for refresh tokens; tool access is mediated by a short-lived connection token shown post-consent.
Pricing
No pricing information provided; appears self-hosted (infrastructure cost = your compute + DB + Atlassian API usage under your Atlassian app limits).
Agent Metadata
Known Gotchas
- ⚠ OAuth scopes must be correctly configured for Jira/Confluence; 401s may indicate missing/incorrect scopes
- ⚠ The agent must use the connection token (principalName/UUID) produced after OAuth success; expired/incorrect tokens will fail tool calls
- ⚠ The README references enabling logs for debugging raw Confluence HTTP responses; agents may need log visibility for troubleshooting
- ⚠ MCP transport is SSE; ensure the agent/client supports SSE and that endpoint access (including headers like Authorization) is configured correctly
