Invoke Rovo agents from MCP-compatible clients

XMLWordPrintable

      What we're building

      We are extending the Atlassian Remote MCP Server so that MCP-compatible clients (e.g. Claude, Cursor, and other MCP-aware tools) can invoke Atlassian's Rovo AI agent as a single delegated tool.

      Today, MCP clients connected to Atlassian can perform individual product actions (read/write Jira issues, fetch Confluence pages, search Bitbucket, etc.). With this change, the same clients will also be able to ask Rovo to handle multi-step, cross-product tasks on the user's behalf, using the existing OAuth session.

      What this means for customers

      • From any MCP-compatible client, you'll be able to delegate higher-level requests like "Summarise the last sprint and draft a Confluence retro page" or "Look at this PR and link any related Jira issues" to Rovo without leaving your tool of choice.
      • The action runs under the same OAuth identity and permissions the user has already consented to for Atlassian MCP.
      • This will be made available through the standard MCP tool list, so no custom integration work is needed on the client side beyond connecting to Atlassian's Remote MCP Server.

      Availability

      • Initially rolling out behind a feature gate to internal and early-access customers.
      • General availability date will be announced via the Atlassian Remote MCP Server changelog and the Atlassian Developer Blog once we complete validation with the first set of MCP clients.
