Put your own value in place of <JIRA_URL> (Jira instance URL (e.g. https://your-domain.atlassian.net)). The author’s registry entry marks it as required.

Optional settings from the registry entry, left out of the block above: JIRA_USERNAME (Jira Cloud account email. With JIRA_API_TOKEN this takes precedence over any token below), JIRA_API_TOKEN (Jira Cloud API token, used with JIRA_USERNAME (basic auth)), JIRA_PAT (Jira personal access token for Data Center (aliases: JIRA_PERSONAL_TOKEN, JIRA_TOKEN). Ignored when JIRA_USERNAME and JIRA_API_TOKEN are both set), CONFLUENCE_URL (Confluence instance URL (optional, for Confluence tools). Cloud URLs usually need the /wiki suffix), CONFLUENCE_USERNAME (Confluence Cloud account email. With CONFLUENCE_API_TOKEN this takes precedence over any token below), CONFLUENCE_API_TOKEN (Confluence Cloud API token, used with CONFLUENCE_USERNAME (basic auth)), CONFLUENCE_PAT (Confluence personal access token for Data Center (aliases: CONFLUENCE_PERSONAL_TOKEN, CONFLUENCE_TOKEN). Confluence tools also require the Team Calendars add-on), MCP_READ_ONLY (Locks the server read-only: write tools and write-workflow prompts are not listed and nothing lifts the lock at runtime. Shared name across the mcp-* servers; set it in the deployer's env), ATLASSIAN_READ_ONLY (Alias for MCP_READ_ONLY. Any value other than false/0/no/off/empty locks the server read-only; --read-only can only raise the lock), ATLASSIAN_HTTP_BEARER_TOKEN (Bearer token (min 16 chars) required to bind an HTTP transport to a non-loopback host; clients send it as 'Authorization: Bearer <token>'), ATLASSIAN_UPLOAD_DIR (Upload root for jira_upload_attachment; only files under it may be uploaded. Default: the working directory), ATLASSIAN_DOWNLOAD_DIR (Directory jira_download_attachment writes into; created on first download. Default: ./atlassian-downloads/).

MCP Atlassian Extended — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for MCP Atlassian Extended?
MCP Atlassian Extended runs on your own machine over stdio — there is no network address to reach, so uptime cannot be measured for it by anyone. What can be measured is adoption: the pypi package mcp-atlassian-extended was installed 1 858 times last week.
How do I connect MCP Atlassian Extended?
Copy the ready config from this page. We generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each in the form that client actually reads. It runs locally, so the command pulls mcp-atlassian-extended straight from pypi; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use MCP Atlassian Extended?
The pypi package mcp-atlassian-extended was installed 1 858 times in the last week. Week over week that is +255%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is MCP Atlassian Extended open source?
Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in Python, 3 stars on GitHub and 1 open issue. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
