What is the Atlassian (Jira & Confluence) MCP Server?
Transform your Atlassian Jira and Confluence instance into a conversational command center for your AI agent. This integration bridges the gap between complex agile workflows and actionable intelligence, allowing your agent to audit Jira issues, manage active sprints, and retrieve deep knowledge from Confluence wikis through natural language. Whether you're tracking a bug's lifecycle or auditing enterprise documentation, your agent acts as a direct, real-time navigator across your Atlassian ecosystem, ensuring your team stays aligned and data-driven without manual dashboard hopping.
What you can do
- Jira Issues & Search — Search issues using complex JQL, view exact tickets, or manage epics and stories seamlessly through your agent.
- Agile Boards & Sprints — List active boards, explore historical sprints, and get an overarching view of project health effortlessly.
- Confluence Wikis & Pages — Search across enterprise documentation using CQL, list spaces, and extract the full textual content of rich wiki pages.
- Project & Identity Oversight — Browse available projects and see the identity mappings of the current user automatically.
- Knowledge Retrieval — Stream rendered HTML or textual properties of specific Confluence pages directly into your conversation context.

Frequently asked questions
Can my AI write JQL or CQL queries for me automatically?
Yes. AI models are exceptionally good at transforming natural phrases like 'find all high-priority bugs open in project X' into structurally valid JQL (project = X AND priority = High AND status = Open). The same applies to CQL searches in Confluence.
How does the agent handle Confluence pages with heavy formatting or macros?
The integration extracts the core text node data of the page. This guarantees that your AI agent only consumes dense factual text (like code snippets and bullet instructions) without wasting token context on layout elements.
Am I limited to only Jira Software or does this include Jira Service Management?
The unified underlying Atlassian API allows JQL queries across almost all generic issue types within your authorized Domain instance. You can search bugs in Jira Software or service requests residing structurally alongside them equally.
What is Agent mode and why does it matter for MCP?
Agent mode is Cursor's autonomous execution mode where the AI can perform multi-step tasks: reading files, editing code, running terminal commands, and calling MCP tools. Without Agent mode, Cursor operates in a simpler ask-and-answer mode that doesn't support tool calling. Always ensure you're in Agent mode when working with MCP servers.
Where does Cursor store MCP configuration?
Cursor looks for MCP server configurations in a mcp.json file. You can configure servers at the project level (.cursor/mcp.json in your project root) or globally (~/.cursor/mcp.json). Project-level configs take precedence.
Can Cursor use MCP tools in inline edits?
No. MCP tools are only available in Agent mode through the chat panel. Inline completions and Tab suggestions do not trigger MCP tool calls. This is by design. tool calls require user visibility and approval.
How do I verify MCP tools are loaded?
Open Settings → Features → MCP and look for your server name. A green indicator means the server is connected. You can also check Agent mode's available tools by clicking the tools dropdown in the chat panel.
Tools not appearing in Cursor
Ensure you are in Agent mode (not Ask mode). MCP tools only work in Agent mode.
Server shows as disconnected
Check Settings → Features → MCP and verify the server status. Try clicking the refresh button.
