Agent: "Done — PROJ-42 updated and moved to In Progress."

Why a2atlassian?

Existing Atlassian MCP servers (Rovo, sooperset) require Docker, .env files, and mcp-remote bridges. They dump 72 tools into agent context and have known quirks that silently fail. a2atlassian fixes all of that:

No Docker — pip install a2atlassian and you're done
Pre-configured connections — define projects in .mcp.json with --register, agent works immediately
Read-only by default — write access is opt-in per connection
Connection scoping — --scope limits which projects an agent can see
Compact output — TSV for lists (30-60% fewer tokens), JSON for single entities
Dynamic tool loading — MCP clients that support deferred tools (e.g., Claude Code) load tools on demand, keeping context lean
Error enrichment — bad field names get suggestions, JQL typos get corrections, quirks get auto-fixed
Secrets stay in env — ${ATLASSIAN_TOKEN} in configs, expanded only at runtime

Scope today: full Jira surface (issues, comments, sprints, boards, worklogs, links, versions, fields, watchers, projects) and Confluence core (pages CRUD, search, metadata-only writes).

Quick Start

# Recommended — installs globally as a CLI tool
uv tool install a2atlassian

# Or with pip
pip install a2atlassian

As an MCP Server (recommended)

Claude Code (with pre-configured connection):

claude mcp add -s user a2atlassian -- uvx --from a2atlassian a2atlassian-mcp \
  --register myproject https://mysite.atlassian.net user@company.com '${ATLASSIAN_TOKEN}'

Claude Code (minimal — agent calls login on demand):

claude mcp add -s user a2atlassian -- uvx --from a2atlassian a2atlassian-mcp

Claude Desktop / Cursor / any MCP client (.mcp.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "a2atlassian": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "--from", "a2atlassian", "a2atlassian-mcp",
        "--register", "myproject", "https://mysite.atlassian.net",
        "user@company.com", "${ATLASSIAN_TOKEN}"
      ],
      "env": {
        "ATLASSIAN_TOKEN": "your-api-token-here"
      }
    }
  }
}
