External MCP connection to LeanIX Authentication failing

[Cam Briggs]

Our Architecture team are looking to connect a Rovo agent to our LeanIX instance via an external MCP connection. When trying to establish the connection we are getting an authentication error. Has anyone had success connecting to a SAP LeanIX external MCP server?

Hey @Cam Briggs ,

Have you followed these official articles when it comes to initial integration/configuration between LeanIX and Atlassian/MCP server: Getting started with the Atlassian Rovo MCP Server > specifically, this: Authentication and authorization?

Auth failures are often tied to session timeouts or incorrect config. settings.

Also, depending on whether you're using OAuth 2.1 or API tokens, you might need to enable API token authentication in Atlassian Administration (admin.atlassian.com > Rovo > Rovo MCP Server > Authentication)

There's also a dedicated forum discussion group around MCP, so you could browse a bit there as well: Atlassian Rovo MCP Server

Cheers,
Tobi
