Atlassian (Jira + Confluence)

Full Jira and Confluence integration with two authentication methods:

• OAuth 2.1 via Atlassian MCP server — browser-based consent, auto-refresh tokens, calls MCP tools
• API token — email + token stored in keyring, calls REST API directly

First-Time Setup

Option 1: OAuth 2.1 via MCP Server (Recommended)

No API tokens or instance URLs needed. Uses dynamic client registration and PKCE.

pip install -r requirements.txt
python scripts/auth.py login --oauth

A browser opens for Atlassian authorization. Select which products (Jira, Confluence, Compass) to grant access. Tokens are stored in the system keyring and auto-refresh when expired.

Check status:

python scripts/auth.py status

Option 2: API Token (Fallback)

For environments where browser-based OAuth isn't available.

pip install -r requirements.txt
python scripts/auth.py login

Follow the prompts to enter your Atlassian URL, email, and API token. Credentials are stored securely in the system keyring.

Create an API token at: https://id.atlassian.com/manage-profile/security/api-tokens

Check authentication status:

python scripts/auth.py status

Logout (clears both OAuth and API token credentials):

python scripts/auth.py logout

Backend Selection

The scripts automatically detect which backend to use based on your auth type:

• OAuth → MCP backend (calls Atlassian MCP server tools)
• API token → REST backend (calls Atlassian REST API directly)

All commands work identically regardless of backend.
