Configure the Atlassian MCP Server

Updated 1 min read

Overview

Atlassian operates an official hosted MCP server at mcp.atlassian.com covering Jira, Confluence, Jira Service Management, and Bitbucket. Access is authorized through OAuth 2.1.

1. Configure Atlassian

  1. Go to admin.atlassian.com and log in with an admin account. Select your organization, then open Rovo → Rovo MCP server. Click Add domain and enter your Dtwo gateway’s URL — you can find it in the Configuration section for your gateway in the Dtwo UI.

2. Add the MCP server to your gateway config

In the mcp_servers section of your gateway configuration add the following entry:

  - name: atlassian
    description: "Atlassian's official hosted MCP server for Jira and Confluence."
    url: https://mcp.atlassian.com/v1/mcp
    transport_type: streamablehttp
    authentication:
      type: oauth
      grant_type: authorization_code
      issuer: "https://mcp.atlassian.com"
      redirect_uri: "<CALLBACK_URL>"
      scopes:
        - read:jira-work
        - write:jira-work
        - read:jira-user
        - read:confluence-content.all
        - write:confluence-content
        - offline_access

Replace the placeholder value:

  • <CALLBACK_URL> — your Dtwo gateway’s OAuth callback URL, found in the Configuration section for your gateway in the Dtwo UI.

3. Deploy and verify

Save the configuration and deploy the gateway.

Then, in your AI client, ask it to authorize Atlassian via the gateway. This opens the Atlassian login screen — sign in as the user whose permissions the agent should inherit, and approve the consent prompt. Once authorized, confirm the server’s tools appear and run a quick call to make sure the connection works.
