Overview
Python MCP server that lets an AI client search, read, create and update Jira issues and Confluence pages, using JQL and CQL for queries. It works with Atlassian Cloud and Server/Data Center (Jira 8.14+, Confluence 6.0+), authenticating with API tokens, personal access tokens or OAuth 2.0. It ships 98 tools and runs over stdio via uvx, or over SSE and streamable-http.
