Is there an Atlassian-hosted MCP server endpoint for direct client integration?

[Vikas]

I’m working on an MCP client written in Python (using the fastmcp library) that I plan to run inside an AWS Lambda function. I want to integrate it with the mcp-atlassian server to interact with Jira and list the available tools.

I already have a Jira API token for authentication, but I’m not sure about the server hosting part.

Does Atlassian provide a publicly hosted MCP server HTTPS endpoint that I can directly invoke from my client by simply providing my API token?

Or do I need to host the mcp-atlassian server myself in my own infrastructure (e.g., via the provided docker run commands or by installing and running the package with pip)?

Any clarification on whether Atlassian offers a hosted MCP server, or if self-hosting is the only option, would be greatly appreciated.

Hello @Vikas 

Welcome to the community!!

Atlassian has recently announced remote MCP servers for Jira and Confluence, which is currently in Beta version. The documentation for the same is available here.

Hope this helps you.

Hey @Gaurav, thankyou so much for responding.

So, is my understanding right here, do I just call this endpoint https://mcp.atlassian.com/v1/sse
with the api token for auth, will i be then able to say list the tools down?

Hello @Vikas 

I havent tried it myself yet, but from the documentation this seems to be the process. Please share the results from your test :)
