What its author says it does
Copied from the file, not written here
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)

Update an issue
python scripts/jira.py update DEV-123 --summary "Updated summary" --priority High
python scripts/jira.py update DEV-123 --assignee "[email protected]"
Transition issue status
python scripts/jira.py transition DEV-123 "In Progress"
python scripts/jira.py transition DEV-123 "Done"
Add and list comments

Token Management
Credentials stored securely using the system keyring:
- macOS: Keychain
- Windows: Windows Credential Locker
- Linux: Secret Service API
Service name: atlassian-skill
OAuth tokens auto-refresh when expired (if refresh token is available).
