SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Configures the Atlassian MCP integration (Rovo) for the local project using credentials stored in environment variables. The skill ensures a project-scoped MCP setup without prompts, defaulting to local scope and envvar storage.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Local MCP configuration: Sets up the integration to talk to the MCP server using a local .mcp.json file.
  • Secret handling: Uses environment variables ATLASSIAN_MCP_CREDENTIALS to store Authorization tokens without prompting.
  • Guided bootstrap: Merges credentials into .mcp.json non-destructively when the file exists.

Quick Start

Create or update the local MCP configuration by providing Atlassian credentials in the environment and running the setup flow.

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I configure Atlassian MCP integration locally using environment variables?▼

Configure Atlassian MCP integration locally by storing credentials in the ATLASSIAN_MCP_CREDENTIALS environment variable and running the setup flow to generate a local .mcp.json file. The skill reads the Authorization token directly from your shell environment without prompting for input.

What is the local .mcp.json file used for in single-repo Atlassian MCP setup?▼

The local .mcp.json file configures project-scoped Atlassian MCP integration for single-repo projects. It enforces a fixed local scope and merges environment-stored credentials non-destructively when the file already exists, ensuring your MCP setup remains isolated to the current project.

Can I set up Atlassian MCP credentials without being prompted for tokens?▼

Yes, you can set up Atlassian MCP credentials without prompts by defining ATLASSIAN_MCP_CREDENTIALS in your shell initialization. The skill uses this environment variable directly to populate the Authorization header in the local .mcp.json configuration.

How do I bootstrap a local MCP configuration if .mcp.json already exists?▼

To bootstrap a local MCP configuration when .mcp.json exists, the skill merges the ATLASSIAN_MCP_CREDENTIALS environment variable into the file non-destructively. This preserves your existing local settings while injecting the required Authorization header for the Atlassian integration.

Do I need to store Atlassian credentials in a specific environment variable for local MCP?▼

Yes, you need to store Atlassian credentials in the ATLASSIAN_MCP_CREDENTIALS environment variable for local MCP setup. The skill strictly enforces envvar storage and a fixed local scope at ./.mcp.json, avoiding hardcoded secrets or interactive credential prompts.
