The Atlassian Rovo MCP server connects Jira, Confluence, Jira Service Management, and Bitbucket to Claude so you can search, summarize, and create issues and docs from chat. It is an official remote MCP server, so here is how to attach it to Claude (web/desktop) and Claude Code.
What you can do
Once connected, it helps you search and summarize Jira, Jira Service Management, Confluence, and Bitbucket without switching tools, and create issues, among other things. What is actually possible depends on the tools Rovo MCP provides.
What you need
An Atlassian cloud account and sign-in. Your access scope can vary with site/project permissions and plan.
How to connect — the official remote MCP
The Rovo MCP server URL is https://mcp.atlassian.com/v1/mcp/authv2.
Claude (web/desktop)
In Settings → Connectors, choose Add custom connector and enter the URL above. The general custom-connector flow is covered in How to connect (4 ways).
Claude Code
Register it from the terminal with:
claude mcp add --transport http atlassian https://mcp.atlassian.com/v1/mcp/authv2For scopes and transports, see Claude Code MCP setup.
Authenticate (OAuth)
After connecting, sign in through the Atlassian login window and you are ready. In short, it is two steps: connect your client, then authenticate.
Try it
Ask things like "show my Jira issues due this week," "create a Jira issue for this bug," or "find the deployment doc in Confluence," and Claude will ask to approve the tool, then act in Atlassian.
Staying safe · troubleshooting
It reaches your work data, so check permissions and the approval scope (MCP connector security). If it will not connect, see the troubleshooting guide together with Atlassian's official docs.
