Summary
Introduces the Atlassian Remote Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server, a new capability that acts as a bridge to connect Atlassian's structured knowledge (Jira and Confluence) with external AI tools and agents. This server implements the MCP protocol, an open standard for AI-tool interaction, enabling actions like summarizing work items, creating issues/pages, and performing multi-step actions. It emphasizes secure, permissioned access via OAuth authentication and is built on Cloudflare infrastructure. The initial integration is with Anthropic's Claude.
