This project provides a Model Context Protocol (MCP) integration for Atlassian Data Center products, including Jira, Confluence, and Bitbucket.

Quick Setup

Each package ships an interactive setup subcommand that stores your credentials in the most secure place available on your OS. Run it once per product:

npx @atlassian-dc-mcp/jira setup
npx @atlassian-dc-mcp/confluence setup
npx @atlassian-dc-mcp/bitbucket setup

The setup CLI prompts for host, API base path, default page size, and API token. Before saving, it validates obvious input mistakes and performs a timed authenticated request to the selected Atlassian product, so a bad host, base path, or token is caught during setup.

CLI flags and non-interactive mode

Setup accepts flags so you can prefill values or skip prompts entirely (useful for scripted bootstrap, CI, or remote sessions). Run npx @atlassian-dc-mcp/ setup --help for the full list.

In interactive mode, any flag you pass prefills its prompt (so e.g. --host skips the host prompt but still asks for the rest). In --non-interactive mode, setup resolves anything missing from existing configuration (process env, ~/.atlassian-dc-mcp/.env, or macOS Keychain) and exits non-zero if a host (or full-URL --api-base-path) and token cannot be found. An existing token is reused when --token is omitted.

# Scripted, no prompts, write everything from flags
npx @atlassian-dc-mcp/jira setup --non-interactive \
  --host jira.example.com \
  --token "$JIRA_TOKEN"

# Re-validate the existing token without re-entering it
npx @atlassian-dc-mcp/jira setup --non-interactive --host jira.example.com

Credential validation behaves differently between modes: interactive mode offers retry/save-anyway prompts on failure, while --non-interactive exits with code 1 on the first validation failure so it can be used as a CI gate.

Token storage:

• macOS — written to the login Keychain via /usr/bin/security (service atlassian-dc-mcp, account -token).
• Linux — written to ~/.atlassian-dc-mcp/.env with POSIX mode 0600 (read/write for your user only; other local user accounts cannot read it).
• Windows — written to %USERPROFILE%\.atlassian-dc-mcp\.env. Node passes the mode bits but Windows ignores them, so the file inherits the ACL of your user profile directory — typically readable only by your user, SYSTEM, and Administrators.

Non-secret fields (host, API base path, default page size) are always written to the home file — ~/.atlassian-dc-mcp/.env on macOS/Linux, %USERPROFILE%\.atlassian-dc-mcp\.env on Windows. After a successful Keychain write, the token line is cleared from the home file so there is never a second copy in a less-secure place.

Once setup has run, the MCP servers can boot with no environment variables at all:
