  • You need to query Jira issues

  • Search Confluence

What it does

MCP Atlassian is an agent skill from sundial-org/awesome-openclaw-skills. Run the Model Context Protocol (MCP) Atlassian server in Docker, enabling integration with Jira, Confluence, and other Atlassian products. Use when you need to query Jira issues, search Confluence, or interact with Atlassian services programmatically. Requires Docker and valid Jira API credentials.

Its SKILL.md is about 430 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including scripts (for example `scripts/run_mcp_atlassian.sh`).

It sits in Agent Workflows, covering MCP servers and Containers. It works with Model Context Protocol, Jira, Docker and Confluence. The repository describes itself as: Top OpenClaw skills, with the most popular and useful ones.

When your agent uses it

  • You need to query Jira issues
  • Search Confluence
  • Interact with Atlassian services programmatically

Example prompts

  • “/mcp-atlassian”

Requirements

  • A Bash shell
  • Docker
  • A credential in JIRA_API_TOKEN

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit b80cde2. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Ships 1 file in scripts/ (Shell), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • docker
    • bash

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

    • id.atlassian.com

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

    • JIRA_API_TOKEN

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

MCP Atlassian loads about 433 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 78 tokens; SKILL.md has 132 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~78
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~433

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 132 words (~433 tokens).

“The MCP Atlassian server provides programmatic access to Jira and other Atlassian services through the Model Context Protocol. Run it in Docker with your Jira credentials to query issues, manage projects, and interact with Atlassian tools.”
