Claude Desktop

First complete Set up Jira and Confluence.

Open the configuration

In Claude Desktop, open Settings > Developer > Edit Config. This opens claude_desktop_config.json:

Add atlassian under the existing mcpServers object. If the file has no servers, use the complete example. Replace YOUR_NAME and the executable path with your local values.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "atlassian": {
      "command": "/Users/YOUR_NAME/.local/bin/uvx",
      "args": [
        "mcp-atlassian==0.23.0",
        "--transport", "stdio",
        "--env-file", "/Users/YOUR_NAME/.config/tritonai/atlassian.env"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Windows JSON requires doubled backslashes. Keep the actual path to uvx.exe; no cmd /c wrapper is needed for this executable.

See the MCP local-server guide for Claude Desktop's configuration workflow.

Check the connection

Save the file, fully quit Claude Desktop, and reopen it. Inspect the local MCP server in Developer settings, then run the Jira and Confluence checks.

If startup fails, inspect the mcp logs under ~/Library/Logs/Claude on macOS or %APPDATA%\Claude\logs on Windows. See the MCP host configuration guide.

This setup connects local tools to Desktop chat. Claude Code uses its own registration command; remote connectors use a different configuration.
