Will the Rovo MCP server support HTTP Streaming?

Will the Rovo MCP server support HTTP Streaming?

Currently the Rovo MCP server (https://mcp.atlassian.com/v1/sse) seems to only support SSE, which was deprecated in the MCP spec in favor of HTTP Streaming.

This is corroborated by the VSCode MCP integration using the Atlassian MCP server (Note, it works fine in VSCode as-is, because it supports the fall-back to SSE).

[info] 404 status sending message to https://mcp.atlassian.com/v1/sse, will attempt to fall back to legacy SSE

I have another MCP client that I would like to integrate, unfortunately however, it only supports HTTP Streaming.

Is there a timeline for HTTP Streaming support for the Rovo MCP Server?

Hi all, the Atlassian Rovo MCP server has supported Streamable HTTP for a while now and can be accessed at: https://mcp.atlassian.com/v1/mcp (also see https://support.atlassian.com/atlassian-rovo-mcp-server/docs/getting-started-with-the-atlassian-remote-mcp-server/)

@Matt Little @Liam Hall Right now the Atlassian MCP server only supports the legacy SSE endpoint. It doesn’t implement the newer HTTP Streaming protocol from the MCP spec, and Atlassian hasn’t published a timeline for adding it. VS Code works because it falls back to SSE; clients that require HTTP Streaming won’t connect until Atlassian upgrades the MCP server.

At the moment, the Rovo MCP server appears to support only the legacy SSE transport. There hasn't been an official announcement or public timeline for adding HTTP Streaming support.

If your MCP client only supports HTTP Streaming, your best options are to:

Monitor Atlassian's release notes and documentation for updates.
Raise the request through Atlassian's developer community or support channels to help prioritize the feature.
If feasible, implement SSE compatibility or a small proxy that translates between HTTP Streaming and SSE until native support becomes available.

Hopefully Atlassian will add HTTP Streaming support in a future update, but as of now there is no publicly confirmed ETA.

I was able to use HTTP Streaming protocol from the MCP spec to connect to Atlassian MCP Server from a custom web application.

https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/python-sdk/blob/main/examples/clients/simple-auth-client/mcp_simple_auth_client/main.py - implemented similar to this example.

OK thanks! I'll have to check it out. My goal is to connect the MCP to OpenWebui.

Hi Team, Is HTTP Streaming support possible now ?

Also here trying to answer this question. I am worryingly close to having my workflow break as SSE is being deprecated across the industry in favour of HTTP
