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.
