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.

Add Atlassian to your zone and connect it to your MCP client.

  1. In your zone’s Keycard Console, go to Applications -> Add Application -> Explore MCP Servers.

  2. Search for Atlassian and click Install.

  3. A browser tab opens to Atlassian’s OAuth consent screen. Sign in and approve the requested permissions.

  4. You’re redirected back. Atlassian appears on the Applications page with a Keycard MCP Gateway URL.

On the Applications page, click Add to Coding Agent next to Atlassian and pick how you want to install:

  • Cursor - opens a deeplink that hands the MCP config straight to Cursor. Click Install inside Cursor to finish.
  • Claude Code - opens a dialog with a claude mcp add command. Pick a scope (User, Project, or Local), then copy and run the command in your terminal.
  • Install manually - reveals the Server Name and Server URL to paste into any other MCP-compatible client.

Once connected, Atlassian’s tools are available to the agent, scoped to whoever signs in to your zone.

What to do once Atlassian is installed.

Now do this

  • Confirm the gateway works by asking your AI client to call one of the Atlassian tools above.

Recommended

  • Decide who can use it - write access policies scoped to the Atlassian resource so only the right users and agents reach the tools.
  • Watch the calls - every tool call lands in your audit log with user identity, resource, and policy decision.

Optional

  • Add REST API access too - install the Confluence and Jira API servers for backend code that calls Atlassian’s APIs on behalf of users.
