The MCP Auth expires too fast

I'm using the Atlassian MCP in Claude Code, which is very helpful. Unfortunately, after a few minutes in Claude Code, it gets a 401 error, since seemingly the MCP OAuth token expires already after a few minutes. Claude Code cannot renew the token by itself, so i have to do that manually, and then continue work in Claude Code, which is pretty annoying. How can i get a token that is valid for at least multiple hours, or even weeks?

I have a similar issue: when I'm trying to run two instances of Claude Code that rely on the same Atlassian user OAuth token on different machines it seems they expire instantly after the other MCP gets authenticated.

 

It would be nice to keep several sessions live so I can perform parallel workflow with JIRA on behalf of the same user but with different instances of Claude Code
