Using a Workspace?
Add this MCP to your Workspace — your team shares one token, secrets are stored securely, and every AI agent in the workspace can call it without per-user setup.
The Atlassian MCP server connects AI agents to Jira and Confluence — creating and searching issues, transitioning tickets, and reading or updating Confluence pages. Hosted on Aerostack with one URL for any MCP client, it lets your agent triage backlogs, file bugs, and turn conversations into tracked work across your Atlassian Cloud instance.

Frequently asked questions
What is the Atlassian MCP server and what can it do? +
The Atlassian MCP server is hosted on Aerostack and exposes these tools to your AI agent: `create_issue`, `get_issue`, `search_issues`, `update_issue`, `list_projects`. You get one hosted URL — no self-hosting — that works from Claude, Cursor, ChatGPT, Gemini, VS Code, or any MCP-compatible client, and you can share it with your team or combine it with other MCP servers in a workspace.
Is the Atlassian MCP server hosted, or do I have to run it myself? +
It's hosted on Aerostack's edge infrastructure — you don't deploy or maintain anything. Add it to a workspace and you get one authenticated URL, with secrets encrypted, that any AI agent or editor can connect to. Use it solo or share the same URL across your whole team.
Which AI agents and editors can use the Atlassian MCP server? +
Any MCP client: Claude and Claude Code, Cursor, ChatGPT, Gemini, Windsurf, Cline, VS Code, and custom agents. Because it's one hosted URL, the same Atlassian MCP server works everywhere — and you can compose it with other MCP servers, skills, and functions behind a single workspace URL.
How do I install the Atlassian MCP server in Claude Desktop? +
Add the following to your Claude Desktop config (`claude_desktop_config.json`): ```json { "mcpServers": { "@aerostack/mcp-atlassian": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@aerostack/@aerostack/mcp-atlassian"] } } } ``` Then restart Claude Desktop and the tools will appear automatically.
How do I use the Atlassian MCP server in Cursor? +
In Cursor, open **Settings → MCP** and add: ```json { "name": "@aerostack/mcp-atlassian", "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@aerostack/@aerostack/mcp-atlassian"] } ``` Save and reload Cursor. The MCP tools will be available in Agent mode.
Does Atlassian MCP require authentication? +
Yes. Atlassian uses Bearer token authentication. Set your token as a workspace secret in the Aerostack dashboard.
