Hi @GINNO SEBASTIAN TAIMAL VILLARROEL - welcome to the Community

If I understand correctly, you want to use an access token rather than the OAuth Flow.

You need to allow this first in the central administration.

admin.atlassian.com > Rovo > Rovo MCP server > Authentication > Allow API token authentication

then @Tomislav Tobijas code should work, although authentication via Bearer Token 

 "Authorization": "Bearer <TOKEN>"

 is recommended.

Hey @GINNO SEBASTIAN TAIMAL VILLARROEL ,

Have you checked the following article: Configuring authentication via API token?
Basically, you can choose between personal API token or service account API key.

In the MCP config, you'll have something like:

{
"mcpServers": {
"atlassian-rovo-mcp": {
"url": "https://mcp.atlassian.com/v1/mcp",
"headers": {
"Authorization": "Basic <BASE64_ENCODED_VALUE>"
}
}
}
}

But yeah, it should all be stated in the docs above.

Cheers,
Tobi

Sorry @Tomislav Tobijas 

I apparently missed that you posted the explanation as well in the first sentence. *facepalm*
