Atlassian (Jira & Confluence) MCP server & Claude connector

Does Atlassian (Jira & Confluence) have an official MCP server or Claude connector?

Official

As of October 2026, Atlassian publishes an official remote MCP server, the Atlassian Rovo MCP server, for Jira, Confluence and other Atlassian apps at mcp.atlassian.com/v2/mcp. It uses OAuth 2.1 and is listed in Anthropic's connector directory. Jira delete and project-admin tools are off by default, and tool calls use Rovo credits.
