Re:MCP is dead. Long live the CLI on Sunday March 01, 2026 @05:42PM (#47211510)
I have had some positive experiences using the Jira and Confluence MCPs. However, I use a third-party MCP because my company has a data centre deployment of Jira and Confluence, which the official Atlassian MCP does not support.

My use case was for using it as an advanced search tool rather than for creating tickets or documentation. Considering how poor the Confluence search function is, the results from Confluence via an MCP-powered search are remarkably good. I was able to solve one or two obscure, company-specific issues purely by using the MCP search, and I'm convinced that finding these pages would have been almost impossible without it.
