Atlassian Rovo MCP Server
#
Overview
Atlassian’s Rovo MCP Server enables secure, structured access to Atlassian cloud products through the Model Context Protocol (MCP). It allows AI-powered applications to retrieve and act on contextual data from tools such as Jira, Confluence, Jira Service Management, and related Atlassian services in a controlled and auditable manner.
By exposing Atlassian data through MCP, the Rovo MCP Server ensures that AI interactions respect existing permissions, roles, and workspace boundaries. This means users only see and act on information they are authorized to access, aligning AI-driven workflows with enterprise governance and compliance requirements.
When integrated with Phoeniqs Chat, the Rovo MCP Server enables natural-language interactions for common Atlassian use cases, including:
- Querying Jira issues, epics, and sprint status
- Summarizing Confluence pages and spaces
- Creating, updating, and commenting on tickets
- Assisting with incident triage and service requests
This integration reduces context switching, accelerates collaboration, and transforms Atlassian data into actionable insights directly within the chat experience, while maintaining security, traceability, and consistency with Atlassian’s cloud platform.

Connect Your MCP Client to Atlassian (Rovo MCP Server)
#
Quick How-To
This section provides a high-level overview for connecting an MCP-capable client to the Atlassian Remote MCP Server (also known as the Rovo MCP Server).
For detailed, client-specific setup instructions, refer to Atlassian's official documentation:
Use the procedure below to understand the setup flow before following Atlassian's detailed instructions.
#
Procedure
Review the official setup guide
Read Atlassian's getting-started documentation to understand prerequisites, authentication, supported clients, and workflow examples.
Verify prerequisites
Ensure you have:
- An Atlassian Cloud site with access to Jira, Confluence, and/or Compass
- A supported MCP client (for example, an AI assistant, IDE, or custom tool)
- A modern browser for OAuth authorization
- For IDE or desktop proxy setups, Node.js v18+ (if using a local proxy)
Authenticate and authorize
Complete Atlassian's OAuth consent flow to grant your MCP client access based on the authenticated Atlassian user's permissions.
Configure your MCP client
Follow Atlassian's client-specific instructions (for example, VS Code or Cursor) to connect to the Atlassian Remote MCP Server.
Verify your connection
Confirm that your MCP client can successfully query or summarize Atlassian content.

Security and sovereignty note
Data residency and sovereignty
This integration connects to Atlassian Cloud via Atlassian's Remote MCP Server. Actions and data access are governed by Atlassian's security model (TLS and OAuth) and the authenticated user's permissions.
If you have sovereignty or regulatory requirements that restrict cloud tooling, review this integration with your security and compliance teams before enabling it.
