Is the Atlassian MCP skill free?

Yes. The skill itself is free from Jeffallan/claude-skills. SkillProof publishes the install command and an independent test verdict at no cost.

How do I install Atlassian MCP?

Copy the install command from this page, run it in your terminal, and restart Claude Code. Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/ inside a project.

Can I use Atlassian MCP with Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Codex or other AI tools?

The SKILL.md format is native to Claude (Claude Code, Desktop, claude.ai). The instructions inside adapt to other assistants: Cursor rules, GitHub Copilot instructions, Windsurf rules, Custom GPTs, AGENTS.md for OpenAI Codex, and GEMINI.md for Google Gemini CLI — our conversion guides cover each, and the free converter on the tools page does the wrapping for you.

Test report

Verdict: Tested · Didn't pass
Tested: Jul 12, 2026
Environment: Claude Code 2.x (agent harness)
Upstream re-checked: Aug 10, 2026 · a10bb0b

Requires a live, authenticated Atlassian Cloud/Server instance plus a running Atlassian MCP server (Docker or npx) — none of its real Jira/Confluence actions function without that, so this run only exercised the static artifact the skill constructs (JQL text and jira_create_issue_link payloads) from an inline spec. Install is clean (valid strict-YAML frontmatter, all 5 reference files present) and triggering is well-scoped to Atlassian work. In the A/B both skill and base produced identical correct JQL, but the skill's jira-queries.md reference has the inward/outward 'Blocks' link semantics inverted (verified against Atlassian's official issue-linking model: outwardIssue is the blocker), so it generated a reversed, wrong-direction link chain where the base's general knowledge got it right.

Scored on four weighted criteria — install, triggering, output vs. baseline, docs. How scoring works

Installs cleanly 5/5
Triggers reliably 4/5
Output vs. baseline 3/10
Docs & honesty 3/5

What Atlassian MCP does

Integrates with Atlassian products to manage project tracking and documentation via MCP protocol. Use when querying Jira issues with JQL filters, creating and updating tickets with custom fields, searching or editing Confluence pages with CQL, managing sprints and backlogs, setting up MCP server authentication, syncing documentation, or debugging Atlassian API integrations.
