How do I authenticate the Atlassian MCP server?

The server uses OAuth; when you run a tool for the first time, your AI agent will provide a prompt or link to authenticate via your browser to grant the necessary permissions.

Can I use JQL with this skill?

Yes, the skill includes the mcp_Atlassian_searchJiraIssuesUsingJql tool which allows for advanced filtering using standard Jira Query Language syntax.

What happens if I encounter a 'Tool not found' error?

This usually means the MCP server isn't enabled. Check your IDE settings (Tools & MCP in Cursor) and ensure the SSE URL is correctly configured.

Does this skill work with Cursor as well as Claude Code?

Yes, the Atlassian MCP server is compatible with any IDE that supports the Model Context Protocol, including Cursor and Claude Code.

Can I manage Confluence pages with this skill?

Yes, it includes tools to create Confluence pages, search existing content, and retrieve page details to assist with documentation tasks.
