How to use Atlassian Rovo MCP Server in headless environments like GitHub Actions?

[Pandithdurai Govindaraj]

Hello Atlassian Community,

We are working with the Atlassian Rovo MCP Server and want to integrate it with GitHub custom agents running in GitHub Actions. However, we’ve encountered a major limitation: the MCP Server requires an interactive browser-based OAuth 2.1 login, which is not supported in headless CI/CD runners.

Could you please advise if there is a recommended solution or workaround to enable OAuth authentication and MCP connectivity in fully headless environments like GitHub Actions? For example, support for non-interactive OAuth flows, token injection, or managed persistent MCP proxies.

Any guidance or guidance on best practices would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!
