Atlassian Rovo does not appear in the ChatGPT Agent Builder app list

We have Atlassian Rovo enabled and approved in our ChatGPT Business workspace, and the Atlassian account connection is working correctly.

However, Atlassian Rovo does not appear in the app list inside ChatGPT Agent Builder, so we are unable to add it to an agent.

What we have already verified:

  • Rovo is enabled in the ChatGPT workspace
  • Rovo is approved/allowed
  • the Atlassian account is connected
  • ChatGPT Agent Builder was reloaded
  • the editor was closed and reopened

Despite this, Atlassian Rovo still does not appear in the Builder app inventory

 

Additional detail:

  • In the app configuration, we can see options such as "Configure actions" and "Set approvals"
  • we do not see a separate setting for "Agents / Agent Builder". Because of this, it is unclear whether Rovo needs to be enabled separately for Agent Builder, or is not yet available for Agent Builder in our workspace

Our questions:

  1. Is Atlassian Rovo officially supported in ChatGPT Agent Builder?
  2. If yes, does it need to be enabled or approved separately for Agent Builder?
  3. If yes, where exactly is that configured?
  4. If not, is there a planned rollout or a known limitation?

 Thank you.

@Tom Polten _RCS_ welcome to the community. Update: ChatGPT Workspace Agents now officially support adding custom MCPs in Agent Builder on Business and Enterprise/Edu. So Rovo doesn’t need to appear in the native app catalog—you can add Atlassian Rovo directly as a custom MCP tool using https://mcp.atlassian.com/v1/mcp/authv2 and OAuth 2.1. Your workspace admin still needs to allow the app/MCP and Atlassian-side Rovo MCP policies must permit the connection.

This is the update this thread was waiting for, thank you for bringing it 🙌

I verified against OpenAI's documentation today and it checks out: Workspace Agents on Business and Enterprise can now add custom MCPs directly in the Agent Builder, with a workspace admin publishing the app so it appears in the approved connectors list.

So the premise of the original question has officially moved: Rovo not appearing in the catalog is no longer the blocker. The working path is Rovo as a custom MCP.

For anyone wiring it now, the two sides that still gate the connection: on the OpenAI side, a workspace admin must publish the custom app. On the Atlassian side, everything from my previous answer still applies: the current endpoint (https://mcp.atlassian.com/v1/mcp/authv2), OAuth, and your org's Rovo MCP settings (domains, permissions by intent, authentication). A connection that fails after setup is almost always one of those gates.

Two doors, both need opening. But the path exists now, which it did not when this thread started.

Welcome to the Community, and good news: based on everything you have verified, nothing is misconfigured on your side. As of today, Rovo not appearing in the Agent Builder app list is expected behaviour, not a fault.

Here is the distinction that explains it. Atlassian's official ChatGPT integration is the Rovo MCP connector for ChatGPT, and Atlassian's supported-clients documentation lists "OpenAI ChatGPT" as the client. Nothing in Atlassian's documentation covers the Agent Builder app catalog, which is a separate surface, and which apps appear there is determined on OpenAI's side, not by anything in your Atlassian configuration. So your workspace approval and working account connection can all be correct, and Rovo still will not show in that list today.

The path worth trying now: if your ChatGPT plan allows adding a custom MCP server as a tool in Agent Builder, you can connect the Rovo MCP Server directly rather than waiting for the catalog. Two details matter if you go this route:

  1. Use the current endpoint: https://mcp.atlassian.com/v1/mcp/authv2. Atlassian retired the older https://mcp.atlassian.com/v1/sse endpoint after 30 June 2026, so any setup instructions or existing configurations referencing the SSE endpoint stopped being supported days before you posted. Worth re-checking anything you configured earlier against that date.
  2. Authentication: OAuth 2.1 through the browser flow, or an API token if your Atlassian org admin has left API token authentication enabled. If token auth is disabled at the org level, OAuth is the only route, and that is an admin.atlassian.com setting, not a ChatGPT one.

And one set of Atlassian-side settings to have your org admin check, because they gate whether any connection works once added. In Atlassian Administration there is an Atlassian Rovo MCP server page (I verified this on a live org today) with three controls that matter here:

  • Domains: every AI tool is associated with a domain, and access is domain-gated. There is an "Allow Atlassian supported domains" toggle for the tools Atlassian partners with, plus a list for adding your own trusted domains. On an org where that toggle is off and no domains are added, no AI tool can connect at all, whatever you configure on the ChatGPT side. This is the first thing to check.
  • Permissions: access can be allowed or blocked by intent (Read, Write, Search), so a connection can exist but still refuse the action your agent attempts.
  • Authentication: the API token option for non-interactive access lives here; if it is disabled, OAuth 2.1 is the only route.
  • And a fourth tab worth noticing: A2A, marked Beta. Per the tab itself, this allows third-party AI agents to communicate directly with Rovo using the Agent-to-Agent protocol: when the single Allow A2A toggle is enabled, external agents can discover Rovo's capabilities and collaborate on tasks across Atlassian apps. It uses OAuth 2.0 only, no API tokens, and it is off by default. Not your immediate problem, but if you are building agents against Atlassian, this tab is where the next chapter starts.

And note that MCP clients act with the connecting user's existing Jira and Confluence permissions, so a least-privilege account for agent use is worth considering from day one.

On the bigger question of when or whether the official Rovo connector surfaces inside the Agent Builder catalog itself: that is an OpenAI-side decision, and neither company has published anything on it that I can find. The Atlassian Rovo MCP Server community space here is where the team building it answers questions, so it is worth raising there too; if I see an announcement, I will come back and update this answer.

Promised update, two developments worth knowing since my answer above. First, Rovo MCP now supports enterprise authentication through identity providers, which changes the auth conversation for orgs that had API tokens disabled.

Second, and bigger for the Agent Builder question: Atlassian shipped a new rovo:mcp Forge module (EAP) that exposes Forge app actions as tools in Rovo Studio, explicitly preparing third-party agent integration through Rovo MCP. The direction of travel is clear: the connection surface between external agents and Atlassian is getting first-class platform support. Still nothing published on the official connector appearing in the Agent Builder catalog itself; if that lands, I will be back again.

Hello and Welcome to Atlassian Community @Tom Polten _RCS_ 

Standard ChatGPT chat and Agent Builder manage their tool catalogs separately so while Rovo works in normal chat, OpenAI hasn't added it to the native Builder inventory yet.

You can work around this by adding Rovo as a custom MCP server in Agent Builder using Atlassian's endpoint: https://mcp.atlassian.com/v1/mcp/authv2

Since OpenAI controls the Builder catalog, you should reach out to OpenAI Support for timeline details. Just check that ChatGPT is allowed in your Rovo MCP Server settings in Atlassian Admin so the custom connection goes through!

Best,

Arek 🤠
