## Quick Start ### 1. Get Your API Token Go to https://id.atlassian.com/manage-profile/security/api-tokens and create a token. > For Server/Data Center, use a Personal Access Token instead. See [Authentication](https://mcp-atlassian.soomiles.com/docs/authentication). ### 2. Configure Your IDE Add to your Claude Desktop or Cursor MCP configuration: ```json { "mcpServers": { "mcp-atlassian": { "command": "uvx", "args": ["mcp-atlassian"], "env": { "JIRA_URL": "https://your-company.atlassian.net", "JIRA_USERNAME": "your.email@company.com", "JIRA_API_TOKEN": "your_api_token", "CONFLUENCE_URL": "https://your-company.atlassian.net/wiki", "CONFLUENCE_USERNAME": "your.email@company.com", "CONFLUENCE_API_TOKEN": "your_api_token" } } } } ``` > **Server/Data Center users**: Use `JIRA_PERSONAL_TOKEN` instead of `JIRA_USERNAME` + `JIRA_API_TOKEN`. See [Authentication](https://mcp-atlassian.soomiles.com/docs/authentication) for details. #### Autohand Code Use the same `uvx` server with your Atlassian credentials: ```bash autohand mcp add mcp-atlassian env \ JIRA_URL=https://your-company.atlassian.net \ JIRA_USERNAME=your.email@company.com \ JIRA_API_TOKEN=your_api_token \ CONFLUENCE_URL=https://your-company.atlassian.net/wiki \ CONFLUENCE_USERNAME=your.email@company.com \ CONFLUENCE_API_TOKEN=your_api_token \ uvx mcp-atlassian ``` Add `--scope project` after `add` to keep the configuration in the current project. See [Autohand Code](https://github.com/autohandai/code-cli/) for current installation and CLI details. ### 3. Start Using Ask your AI assistant to: - **"Find issues assigned to me in PROJ project"** - **"Search Confluence for onboarding docs"** - **"Create a bug ticket for the login issue"** - **"Update the status of PROJ-123 to Done"** ## Documentation Full documentation is available at **[mcp-atlassian.soomiles.com](https://mcp-atlassian.soomiles.com)**.
