Ability to connect more than one Jira to Anthropic VIA MCP

[Dylan Sawchuk]

Is it possible to link more than one Jira instance to Anthropic via the ROVO MCP connector? 

In my use case, our customer service/Intake is hosted on a separate Jira instance (not fixable due to legacy decisions around user permissions), and I need to use AI to read and write data to both instances.

Welcome to the community @Dylan Sawchuk The MCP Server can access multiple Jira sites if the authenticated Atlassian account has access to those sites and the tools support specifying the target cloud/site context. BUT, there is currently limited documentation covering multi-site usage within a single Claude MCP connection.

If both Jira instances are accessible through the same Atlassian account, test by querying each site's Cloud ID explicitly when calling Jira tools. If the second instance is not visible, the limitation may be in the current MCP implementation rather than Jira itself.

For a definitive answer, I recommend opening an Atlassian Support ticket, as they can confirm whether multi-site access is officially supported for the current MCP release and whether any known limitations exist with Claude integrations.

The limitation is with the current Claude connector, specifically when you are forced to choose one of the two instances to authenticate at a time and you need to disconnect from one to add the other.

Hi @Dylan Sawchuk  👋🏻

First of all, welcome to community! ✨

Yes, you can connect multiple Jira instances to Anthropic/Claude, but not as separate Rovo MCP server instances out-of-the-box in native desktop configurations. 

You could try the below options:

1. Add a Dedicated Multi-Jira MCP Server - If you want to read/write to both instances in the exact same chat session without conflicts, you can use community or third-party solutions that allow you to route calls to different Atlassian accounts and instances from a single MCP configuration.
2. Setup Application Links - If both instances fall under your company's domain, you can natively link the two Jira instances using Application Links.

I hope this answers your question. 🙂
