ChatGPT users gain Jira and Confluence access through Atlassian’s MCP connector
Jira and Confluence data become accessible inside ChatGPT as Atlassian widens its MCP integration strategy.
Atlassian has launched a new connector that lets ChatGPT users access Jira and Confluence data via the Model Context Protocol. The company said the Rovo MCP Connector supports task summarisation, issue creation and workflow automation directly inside ChatGPT.
Atlassian noted rising demand for integrations beyond its initial beta ecosystem. Users in Europe and elsewhere can now draw on Jira and Confluence data without switching interfaces, while partners such as Figma and HubSpot continue to expand the MCP network.
Engineering, marketing and service teams can request summaries, monitor task progress and generate issues from within ChatGPT. Users can also automate multi-step actions, including bulk updates. Jira write-back support enables changes to be pushed directly into project workflows.
Security updates sit alongside the connector release. Atlassian said the Rovo MCP Server uses OAuth authentication and respects existing permissions across Jira and Confluence spaces. Administrators can also enforce an allowlist to control which clients may connect.
Atlassian frames the initiative as part of its long-term focus on open collaboration. The company said the connector reflects demand for tools that unify context, search and automation, positioning the MCP approach as a flexible extension of existing team practices.
