Set up the Atlassian Rovo MCP server
Atlassian's Rovo MCP server gives AI agents access to Jira, Confluence, and Compass — searching issues, reading and creating pages, creating and updating tickets, and running cross-product searches. This guide walks through adding MintMCP to your Atlassian organization's domain allowlist and approving the server in MintMCP.
Prerequisites
- A MintMCP admin account
- An Atlassian Cloud organization with at least one of: Jira, Confluence, or Compass
- Organization admin access in admin.atlassian.com
Add MintMCP to your Atlassian allowlist
Atlassian's MCP server uses a domain allowlist to control which AI tools can connect to your organization. Add MintMCP's domain so Atlassian accepts OAuth connections from it.
- Go to admin.atlassian.com and select your organization.
- In the left sidebar, go to Apps > AI settings > Rovo MCP server.
- Under Allowed domains, click Add domain.
- Enter
app.mintmcp.comand save.
No OAuth app registration or client credentials are needed — Atlassian handles client registration automatically for allowlisted domains.
Approve Atlassian Rovo in MintMCP
Atlassian Rovo is pre-listed as a recommended server in the MintMCP MCP store.
- In MintMCP, go to MCP store > Manage store.
- Find Atlassian Rovo in the recommended servers list.
- Click Approve.
Each team member authenticates with their own Atlassian account on first use, so all tool calls are tied to their individual permissions.
Security considerations
- Each user authenticates individually — Jira issues, Confluence pages, and Compass components are only accessible based on that user's existing Atlassian permissions.
- Removing MintMCP from the allowed domains list immediately revokes OAuth access for all users.
- If your organization has an IP allowlist configured in Atlassian, ensure MintMCP's egress IPs are included.
