Is it possible to user service account for the MCP remote server to limit access scope, currently it get quite wide access scope and we don't have any options to limit it (e.g. read only, specific space, etc.) for improved security?

@Sergey Yamshchikov — currently, when connecting a remote AI model to Atlassian's MCP (like Claude or Gemini), the token used inherits the access scope of the authenticating user. There's no built-in support yet for using a dedicated service account with restricted scopes (like read-only or space-limited access). The best workaround for now is to authenticate using an Atlassian user with intentionally limited permissions.
