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.

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.
Which VS Code version supports MCP?
MCP support requires VS Code 1.99 or later with the GitHub Copilot extension. Ensure both are updated to the latest version. Older versions of Copilot may not expose the Agent mode toggle.
How do I switch to Agent mode?
Open the Copilot Chat panel and look for two mode options: "Ask" and "Agent". Click "Agent" to enable autonomous tool calling. In Ask mode, Copilot provides conversational answers but cannot invoke MCP tools.
Can I restrict which MCP tools Copilot can access?
Yes. VS Code shows a tool consent dialog before any MCP tool is invoked for the first time. You can also configure tool access policies at the organization level through GitHub Copilot settings.
Does MCP work in VS Code Remote or Codespaces?
Yes. MCP servers configured via .vscode/mcp.json work in Remote SSH, WSL, and GitHub Codespaces environments. The MCP connection is established from the remote host, so ensure the server URL is accessible from that environment.
MCP tools not available
Ensure you are in Agent mode in Copilot Chat. MCP tools only appear in Agent mode.
