Atlassian's work tracker for software and business teams. The Atlassian Rovo MCP server lets an AI client search, create and update Jira work items. Each call uses Rovo credits from a shared pool.

Best for
  • Teams already planning work in Jira
  • Turning meeting notes into work items you review
Not for
  • Small teams that only need a simple to-do board
  • Unreviewed bulk changes to work items

Top use cases

  • Ask for the status of a work item by key source ↗
  • Create work items from meeting notes source ↗
  • Move a work item to a new status and add a comment source ↗

In depth

Atlassian Rovo MCP server

Atlassian's remote server at https://mcp.atlassian.com/v2/mcp covers Jira, Jira Service Management, Confluence, Bitbucket and Loom. Its examples include checking an item's status, creating work items from notes and moving items between statuses. MCP calls use Rovo credits from the same pool as Rovo Chat and Agents, with cost depending on context volume and reasoning depth. Checked 2026-10-18. source ↗

Plans

Free covers up to 10 users. At the default team size the page shows Standard at about $8.48 and Premium at about $15.56 per user per month. Per-user prices change with team size. Checked 2026-10-18. source ↗

How to use it with AI

How Jira connects to each AI platform: native connector or MCP, API through code the agent writes, browser control, or file upload.

PlatformMCP / connectorAPI (agent-written code)BrowserUpload / export
Claude (incl. Claude Code) Not documented Jira has an official MCP server and Claude (incl. Claude Code) supports MCP, but Jira's docs don't name this pairing. Auth setup may differ. Jira MCP docs ↗Claude (incl. Claude Code) MCP docs ↗ Not documented Claude (incl.

Confirmed is reserved for evidence of the specific connection route. The current named integrations include plugins, skills and CLIs, so a named platform alone does not confirm MCP or a native connector. Inferred means each side documents a relevant capability, but no document describes the pairing. Code execution still needs network and credential access; file handling still needs a compatible format and transfer direction. Not documented means the records do not establish the route. IonBin has not tested these pairings. Recorded Oct 18, 2026.

Connection capabilities to compare

An official MCP server is documented for this tool. These platforms separately document MCP client support: ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, Gemini (Google), Google Antigravity, Grok, Grok Bot, Lindy, LM Studio, Mistral Vibe, OpenAI Codex. This inventory does not establish compatible transport, authentication or actions for a pairing. Check the connection matrix and linked sources.

Automation hubs to assess for a custom API connection: Gumloop, Make, n8n, Zapier. Verify credentials, supported requests, limits and error handling; no configured integration is implied.
