Hey @Syed Atif Hussain 

Can you share which MCP server you have installed that's failing most of the time?

It sounds like you have Rovo Dev running on your end? 

If so, you shouldn't need the Atlassian MCP server if you have Rovo Dev enabled and running already.

@Syed Atif Hussain I'd add... This usually happens when the local STDIO MCP server process can’t launch reliably (path/permissions, missing deps, or the CLI/plugin version). Quick checks: update the Atlassian CLI/Rovo plugin to the latest, run the IDE/terminal as the same user that installed it, and verify the command path exists and isn’t blocked by antivirus/AppLocker. Also try running the server command directly in a terminal to see the real stderr. If it still fails intermittently, include the full command + stderr and submit it to the Atlassian Rovo Dev team at the link in the error.
