Atlassian

Productivity

Jira, Confluence, and Compass project management suite

Connect AI tools to Jira, Confluence, and Compass to search, summarize, and manage content without context switching. Create and update issues or pages based on natural language commands. Automate repetitive work like generating tickets from meeting notes or specs.

Adding Atlassian provisions three things in your zone: an upstream resource pointing at https://mcp.atlassian.com/v1/mcp (kept inside Keycard), a Keycard MCP Gateway URL - the downstream resource - that you install in Cursor, Claude Code, or any MCP client, and a provider for token exchange with Atlassian’s OAuth issuer.

When your AI client makes a tool call, it sends a Keycard-issued access token to the gateway URL. Keycard’s STS exchanges that token for an upstream Atlassian token, the gateway calls the upstream MCP, and the response is proxied back. Your zone’s identity provider, access policies, and audit log apply to every call - the upstream credential never leaves Keycard. Each call is recorded in the audit log with the user identity, the resource accessed, and the policy decision.

Tools the upstream server exposes through the Keycard MCP Gateway.

Atlassian exposes 31 tools through the gateway:
