Use the Atlassian MCP server
in VS Code

Search and update Jira issues, Confluence pages, and Bitbucket from your AI. This guide connects Atlassian to VS Code (GitHub Copilot's agent mode) through a governed gateway — one URL that also works in every other MCP client you use, with your rules and a full log attached.

Setup: Atlassian in VS Code

VS Code adds MCP servers via MCP server configuration. The gateway route takes about two minutes:

  1. Connect Atlassian to your free gate gateway from the verified directory.
  2. On your gate overview, click 'Add to VS Code' — VS Code prompts to add the gateway as an HTTP MCP server.
  3. Confirm and approve the sign-in.
  4. Copilot's agent mode can now use Atlassian — logged and governed through your gateway.

What to ask once it’s connected

“Which Jira tickets are blocking the release?”
“Summarize the progress of this epic.”
“Find the Confluence page on deployments and summarize it.”
“Create a Jira bug from this error report.”

Why route it through a gateway

One URL, every client

The same Atlassian connection works in Claude, Claude Code, ChatGPT, Cursor too — no per-client re-wiring.

Rules before regret

Allow, ask, or block every tool Atlassian exposes — reads can flow freely while writes require your approval.

Every call logged

A plain-language activity log of everything VS Code did with Atlassian — searchable, exportable, auditable.

Scanned and probed

Atlassian passed a live handshake probe and a security scan before listing — and drift detection watches it after you connect.
