Are you sure?

It's not documented in the official documentation and doesn't seem to work:

Yes, it's possible to consume Atlassian's remote MCP (Managed Control Plane) server from CrewAI or LangGraph agents, as long as you use standard API-based communication.

Key Points:

Authentication: Yes, Atlassian APIs (including MCP endpoints) support Bearer token authentication using an API token. You can generate an API token from your Atlassian account and use it in the Authorization header:
Authorization: Bearer <your_api_token>

CrewAI / LangGraph Compatibility: Both frameworks (CrewAI and LangGraph) allow the use of external APIs via HTTP requests, so integrating with Atlassian MCP via REST is feasible.

Caveat: Make sure your MCP server endpoints are publicly accessible and that CORS/security policies allow access from your runtime environment.
