What is mcp-atlassian-extended AGENTS.md?

An instruction file for an extended MCP server that provides additional tools for Jira and Confluence. Jira tracks work items, while Confluence stores team documentation.

It is for guiding development and testing of the server’s Jira and Confluence tools, resources, prompts, clients, configuration, and write checks.

It gives an agent the project context, tool rules, architecture, configuration details, and error-handling conventions needed to use that server consistently.

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	$0.01841	$0.01841
Opus 5	$0.00920	$0.00920
Sonnet 5	$0.00368	$0.00368
Haiku 4.5	$0.00184	$0.00184

Security

Grade A, and why

mcp-atlassian-extended AGENTS.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 9d 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.

mcp-atlassian-extended — Agent Context

Extended MCP tools for Jira and Confluence, complementing mcp-atlassian with 26 tools.

Architecture

Entry point: src/mcp_atlassian_extended/__init__.py — click CLI
Clients: src/mcp_atlassian_extended/clients/ — JiraExtendedClient, ConfluenceExtendedClient
Tools: src/mcp_atlassian_extended/servers/ — four modules: jira_extended, jira_agile, jira_issues, confluence_extended
Helpers: src/mcp_atlassian_extended/servers/_helpers.py — shared _get_jira, _get_confluence, _check_write, _ok, _err
Resources: src/mcp_atlassian_extended/servers/resources.py — 15 MCP resources (workflow guides)
Prompts: src/mcp_atlassian_extended/servers/prompts.py — 5 MCP prompts (multi-tool workflows)
Config: src/mcp_atlassian_extended/config.py — JiraConfig, ConfluenceConfig from env
Tests: tests/unit/test_tools.py — 50+ tool-level tests via FastMCP test client

Patterns

All tools are async def returning JSON strings
Shared helpers extracted to servers/_helpers.py — all server modules import from there
Error handling: try/except wrapping every tool, returning {"error": ...} JSON
Write access control: _check_write(ctx) raises WriteDisabledError when ATLASSIAN_READ_ONLY=true
Tags: every tool tagged with {"jira"|"confluence", "<category>", "read"|"write"}
Parameters use Annotated[type, Field(description=...)]
Confluence tools include _resolve_date() for relative dates ("today", "+14d", "next week")

MCP Compliance Rules

Tool Annotations (MANDATORY)

Every tool MUST have annotations={} with at minimum readOnlyHint.

Read tools: annotations={"readOnlyHint": True, "idempotentHint": True}
Non-destructive write tools: annotations={"readOnlyHint": False}
Destructive write tools: annotations={"destructiveHint": True, "readOnlyHint": False}
Idempotent writes (PUT/update): add idempotentHint: True

Tool Descriptions

1-2 sentences. Front-load what it does AND what it returns.
Bad: "This tool gets attachments."
Good: "List attachments on a Jira issue. Returns id, filename, size, content URL."

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.
