Connect Claude Code with Atlassian Jira and Atlassian Confluence MCP Server

Recently, I needed to import issues from Atlassian Jira into Claude Code.

It's so simple:

claude mcp add atlassian --transport sse "https://mcp.atlassian.com/v1/sse" --scope user

After that, the Atlassian MCP Server is registered.

Check if the MCP server is added afterward:

claude mcp list

You may need to restart the French guy (Claude Code).

Type /mcp and select the Atlassian MCP server to authenticate. You will then be forwarded to this screen.

Authenticate via /mcp
Redirect to Atlassian while Authenticating the MCP Server

After that, you can query Jira and Confluence using Claude Code.

Happy task creation for Claude ;-)
