  Manage Jira issues and Confluence wiki pages in Atlassian Cloud.
  Use when: (1) searching/creating/updating Jira issues with JQL, (2) searching/reading/creating Confluence pages
  with CQL, (3) managing Jira workflows, transitions, and comments, (4) browsing Confluence spaces and page
  hierarchies. Supports OAuth 2.1 via MCP server (recommended) or API token authentication (fallback).

Atlassian (Jira + Confluence)

Full Jira and Confluence integration with two authentication methods:

• **OAuth 2.1** via Atlassian MCP server — browser-based consent, auto-refresh tokens, calls MCP tools
• **API token** — email + token stored in keyring, calls REST API directly

First-Time Setup

Option 1: OAuth 2.1 via MCP Server (Recommended)

No API tokens or instance URLs needed. Uses dynamic client registration and PKCE.

pip install -r requirements.txt
python scripts/auth.py login --oauth

A browser opens for Atlassian authorization. Select which products (Jira, Confluence, Compass) to grant access. Tokens are stored in the system keyring and auto-refresh when expired.

Check status:

python scripts/auth.py status

Option 2: API Token (Fallback)

For environments where browser-based OAuth isn't available.

pip install -r requirements.txt
python scripts/auth.py login

Follow the prompts to enter your Atlassian URL, email, and API token. Credentials are stored securely in the system keyring.

Create an API token at: https://id.atlassian.com/manage-profile/security/api-tokens

Check authentication status:

python scripts/auth.py status

Logout (clears both OAuth and API token credentials):

python scripts/auth.py logout

Backend Selection

The scripts automatically detect which backend to use based on your auth type:

• **OAuth** → MCP backend (calls Atlassian MCP server tools)
• **API token** → REST backend (calls Atlassian REST API directly)

All commands work identically regardless of backend.

Jira (scripts/jira.py)

Search issues with JQL

python scripts/jira.py search "project = DEV AND status = Open"
python scripts/jira.py search "assignee = currentUser() ORDER BY updated DESC" --limit 10

Get issue details

python scripts/jira.py get DEV-123

Create an issue

python scripts/jira.py create --project DEV --summary "Fix login bug" --type Bug
python scripts/jira.py create --project DEV --summary "New feature" --type Story \
  --description "Details here" --priority High --assignee "user@example.com" --labels "backend,urgent"

Update an issue

python scripts/jira.py update DEV-123 --summary "Updated summary" --priority High
python scripts/jira.py update DEV-123 --assignee "user@example.com"

Transition issue status

python scripts/jira.py transition DEV-123 "In Progress"
python scripts/jira.py transition DEV-123 "Done"

Add and list comments

python scripts/jira.py comment DEV-123 --add "This is a comment"
python scripts/jira.py comment DEV-123 --list

List projects and statuses

python scripts/jira.py list-projects
python scripts/jira.py list-statuses DEV

Test authentication

python scripts/jira.py auth-info

List available MCP tools (OAuth only)

python scripts/jira.py list-tools

Confluence (scripts/confluence.py)

Search pages

python scripts/confluence.py search "deployment guide"
python scripts/confluence.py search "type=page AND space=DEV AND text~\"deployment\""
python scripts/confluence.py search "onboarding" --limit 10

python scripts/confluence.py create --title "Guide" --space-id <id> --body "<p>Content here</p>"
python scripts/confluence.py create --title "Child" --space-id <id> --parent-id <parent-id>

Update a page

python scripts/confluence.py update <page-id> --title "Updated Title"
python scripts/confluence.py update <page-id> --body "<p>New content</p>"
