Hi experts, just wondering is it possible to connect Atlassian MCP server with

strands.tools.mcp.MCPClient then used in AWS Strands agent? 

Thanks

Hi @chunlinli ,

Yes, it should be possible (I haven't tested it, though). Atlassian Rovo MCP Server is designed to work with any MCP-compatible client, as long as they implement the MCP specification and support OAuth 2.1. More on connecting Atlassian MCP: Using with other supported MCP clients 

Just a note that only MCP-compatible clients running as local instances are officially supported at this time; remote or non-local configurations may not be functional. 👀

On top of that, an additional disclaimer is that Atlassian MCP Server is currently in Beta, so some advanced features or integrations may be limited or under development 👷

Here's a link to the official forum group related to Atlassian Rovo MCP Server: https://community.atlassian.com/forums/Atlassian-Rovo-MCP-Server/gh-p/AtlassianMCPServer

I'd also recommend checking there. Btw, I'll ask mods to move this question there so maybe someone can chime in on this.

Cheers,
Tobi

It is possible to connect an Atlassian MCP server with as long as the client follows the standard MCP protocol. You just need to point the MCPClient to the Atlassian MCP endpoint, set up OAuth credentials, and confirm your environment is allowed in your Atlassian org. Once authentication is done, the Strands agent can call MCP tools normally. If you want to see how we manage similar integrations in our workflow,
