This one needs environment variables set before it will start: JIRA_URL (Jira instance URL (e.g. https://your-domain.atlassian.net)), 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.), ATLASSIAN_READ_ONLY (Restrict to read-only operations (true/false)). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.

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 285 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 with the file path 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 285 times in the last week. Week over week that is -55%. 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 8 open issues. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
