Unable to establish connection between Atlassian MCP-server and github copilot in VS code

[paramasivam]

I tried to connect Atlassian MCP-server through github copilot in VS code but not able to do it.

"mcp": {

  "servers": {

    "atlassian": {

       "url": "https://mcp.atlassian.com/v1/sse",

       "transport": "sse",

       "command": "mcp-atlassian",

       "args": [

           "--jira-url", "https://your-company.atlassian.net",

           "--jira-username", "your.email@company.com",

           "--jira-token", "your_api_token",

           "--confluence-url", "https://your-company.atlassian.net/wiki",

           "--confluence-username", "your.email@company.com",

           "--confluence-token", "your_api_token"
        ],

      "env": {},

      "disabled": false

       }
   }
}

Tried with this code but getting this following error while running the server

Can someone provide me a solution for this.

I had to go to the Settings for the Atlassian MCP server within VS Code and allow my model to access it, now it works properly for me.
