install-atlassian-mcp

install-atlassian-mcp is a skill for Claude Code from jamesyang124/agent-skills. It costs 68 tokens per session (1,016 once invoked), scanned C, original, MIT.

An installation guide for adding Atlassian access to Claude or GitHub Copilot through an MCP server. Atlassian tools include Jira for issue and sprint tracking and Confluence for shared pages and documentation.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to install the server with uvx or Docker, configure Claude or GitHub Copilot, and enable actions such as searching or creating Jira issues and reading or writing Confluence pages.
Why use it?
It explains how to install and configure the server without putting the API token in a command argument. This helps an agent connect to Jira and Confluence safely and 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.

Security

Grade C, and why

install-atlassian-mcp scanned grade C with 2 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 12d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/install.sh), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

Arguments

All optional — anything not passed is asked in Step 1.

Token Meaning
claude / copilot which agent to configure
uvx / docker install method (uvx recommended, no Docker required)

The API token is never taken as an argument — it is collected in the terminal (Step 2).


Quick Start

Collect parameters, then run the bundled script. API tokens must be collected via terminal — never via a questions tool.

Step 1 — Collect parameters

Use vscode_askQuestions with:

  1. agent — which agent to configure
    • options: claude, copilot
  2. method — installation method
    • options: uvx (recommended, no Docker required), docker
  3. jira-url — Jira instance URL (e.g. https://myteam.atlassian.net)

Step 2 — Run the installer

PROJECT_ROOT="<workspace-root>" \
  bash .agent-settings/skills/tools/install-atlassian-mcp/scripts/install.sh \
  --agent <agent> \
  --method <method> \
  --jira-url <jira-url>
  • If ~/.env.mcp-atlassian already exists, the script detects it and asks whether to reuse those credentials — no re-entry needed
  • API tokens are always prompted interactively in the terminal (hidden input) when no existing file is found
  • Writes ~/.env.mcp-atlassian to your home directory (global, not per-project) and merges into the agent config

Files

What ships with it

1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

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.
