Connect Atlassian Crowd to your AI client once. From there, you can query your security structure using plain English.

Ask AI about this page

Short answer

How can I check user groups and memberships?

Your AI pulls real-time data from Atlassian Crowd to show you exactly which groups a user belongs to or who is in a specific group. You get clear lists and group details without digging through the Crowd UI.

Audit outcomes

Where your data lands

These are the specific pieces of information your AI retrieves from Crowd.

USER DATA

Identify user groups

The AI looks up a specific user and lists every security group they belong to. This helps you spot over-privileged accounts.

GROUP DATA

List group members

Ask for everyone inside a specific group. You'll get a clean list of all users currently assigned to that group.

DETAILS

Get group specifics

Pull deeper metadata about a group. The AI retrieves the specific details defined in your Crowd configuration.

HUMAN

Manual permission changes

The AI only reads data. You still need to go into the Crowd console if you want to add or remove users from groups.

The workflow

What your AI does when the request arrives.

The AI translates your questions into direct data requests to Crowd.

  1. Find user groups

    The AI identifies the user you're asking about and pulls their specific group assignments.

    list_user_memberships

  2. Check group rosters

    When you ask who is in a group, the AI fetches the full list of members.

    list_group_members

  3. Retrieve group info

    The AI pulls the underlying configuration and details for a requested group.

    get_group_details

  4. Summarize findings

    The AI organizes the raw data into a readable format for your audit report.

FAQ

How this task behaves

    Can the AI add users to groups?

    No. The AI can only read group and membership data. It cannot modify your Atlassian Crowd settings.

  • 02

    Can I delete groups using the AI?

    No. This MCP is for auditing and visibility. All deletions must be done manually in Crowd.

  • 03

    Does the AI see all user data?

    The AI only sees the data it can access through the provided tools, such as group names and membership lists.

  • 04

    Can I use this with Claude?

    Yes, as long as you are using an MCP-compatible client like Claude Desktop.

  • 05

    How does the AI know which user I mean?

    You provide the username or identifier in your prompt, and the AI uses that to call the membership tools.
