The official Atlassian Rovo MCP Server is a cloud-based bridge between your Atlassian Cloud site and compatible external tools. Once configured, it enables those tools to interact with Jira, Confluence, Jira Service Management, Bitbucket, and Compass data in real time. Authentication uses OAuth 2.1 or API tokens, so every action respects the user's existing access controls.

With the Atlassian Rovo MCP Server, you can:

Summarize and search Jira, Confluence, Jira Service Management, and Bitbucket content without switching tools.
Create and update issues or pages based on natural language commands.
Automate repetitive work, like generating tickets from meeting notes or specs.

It's built for developers, content creators, and project teams who work in IDEs or AI tools and want to use Atlassian data without constantly switching context.
