MCP Atlassian Extended runs on your own machine — the client starts it, so there is no endpoint to ping. 1 858 installs a week from pypi. Last commit 7 Nov 2026.
Jira/Confluence MCP server (MCP 2026-07-28): sprints, boards, attachments; writes or read-only
Today is the operative word: we check MCP Atlassian Extended every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.
This server runs on your own machine — install it with the package manager and the client starts it for you. Package name taken from the official registry entry.

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/).
