Requirements to add custom MCP server to MCP galery

[Georg Fankhauser]

Hi there-

following the steps in: Add an external MCP server from Atlassian Administration | Atlassian Support I wanted to add the Microsoft Learn MCP server (MCP-URL: https://learn.microsoft.com/mcp) as custom MCP-Server, since this would be of great value for some use cases.

Unfortunalely I run into an error (just saying "an error has occured (..)".

Hence I wanted to ask, what's the requirements for adding the MCP server are. The Microsoft Learn MCP Server overview | Microsoft Learn is design to work as streamable with no auth.

Hi @Georg Fankhauser 

as that is a really new feature, documentation is scarce.

I have tried adding Atlassian's own mcp and that worked. I couldn't find a lot of mcp urls to test but some worked and others resulted in the same error.

I'd do as the error message suggests and contact the Support about it.

Hi @Georg Fankhauser 

were you successful in adding custom MCPs now?

hi @Rebekka Heilmann _viadee_ 

a feature request was created [ECO-1340] Add support for auth-less External MCP Servers - Create and track feature requests for Atlassian products. , since external MCP with "no-auth" are not supported atm.

I did not have any use case to use other custom MCP with other forms of authentication yet.
