What is atlassian-mcp-server structure.md?

A description of how an Atlassian MCP server is organized into clients, service modules, tests, and startup files. MCP is a way for an AI assistant to call tools provided by another program.

Use it when adding or changing API clients, tool modules, server registration, or tests in the project.

It helps developers find the right place for new code and keep Jira, Confluence, service-desk, and shared server behavior separated.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.01293	$0.01293
Opus 5.5	$0.00517	$0.00517
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00259	$0.00259

Security

Grade A, and why

atlassian-mcp-server structure.md scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 15d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
