Atlassian MCP Integration

Purpose: Direct integration with Jira and Confluence via Model Context Protocol (MCP)

Capabilities:

• Create, read, update Jira issues
• Manage Confluence pages and spaces
• Automate workflows and transitions
• Generate reports and dashboards
• Bulk operations on issues

Setup: Atlassian MCP server configured in Claude Code settings

Usage Pattern:

# Jira operations via MCP
mcp__atlassian__create_issue project="PROJ" summary="New feature" type="Story"

# Confluence operations via MCP
mcp__atlassian__create_page space="TEAM" title="Sprint Retrospective"

Integration Patterns

Pattern 1: Sprint Planning

# 1. Create sprint in Jira (via MCP)
mcp__atlassian__create_sprint board="TEAM-board" name="Sprint 23" start="2025-11-06"

# 2. Generate user stories (product-team integration)
python ../product-team/agile-product-owner/scripts/user_story_generator.py sprint 30

# 3. Import stories to Jira
# (Manual or via Jira API integration)

Pattern 2: Documentation Workflow

# 1. Create Confluence page template
mcp__atlassian__create_page space="DOCS" title="Feature Spec" template="feature-spec"

# 2. Link to Jira epic
mcp__atlassian__link_issue issue="PROJ-123" confluence_page_id="456789"

Python Automation Tools

New Scripts (Phase 2)

# JQL from natural language
python jira-expert/scripts/jql_query_builder.py "high priority bugs assigned to me"

# Validate Jira workflow
python jira-expert/scripts/workflow_validator.py workflow.json

# Generate Confluence space structure
python confluence-expert/scripts/space_structure_generator.py team_info.json

# Audit Confluence content health
python confluence-expert/scripts/content_audit_analyzer.py pages.json

# Audit Atlassian permissions
python atlassian-admin/scripts/permission_audit_tool.py permissions.json

# Scaffold Confluence templates
