Atlassian rebuilds its MCP server: 220+ tools across Jira, Confluence, Bitbucket, and Loom, now GA
Announced Oct 6 at Team '26 Europe, the hosted server (OAuth 2.1 + PKCE, respects each user's existing permissions) now reaches Bitbucket Cloud PRs, semantic Code Search, Confluence whiteboards and databases, and Loom transcripts, and Atlassian says it uses up to 25% fewer tokens than the old version on the same Jira and Confluence work. Read, write, and destructive tools are split so clients like Cursor or Claude Code can require confirmation on the risky ones, and you can now ship custom MCP tools through Forge.
