atlassian-browser-mcp
rowser-backed MCP wrapper for mcp-atlassian with Playwright SSO auth. Enables AI tools to access Atlassian Server/Data Center instances behind corporate SSO (Okta, SAML, ADFS) where API tokens are not available.
atlassian-browser-mcp
MCP server that wraps the upstream mcp-atlassian toolset with browser-cookie authentication via Playwright. Designed for Atlassian Server/Data Center instances behind corporate SSO (Okta, SAML, etc.) where API tokens are not available.
How it works
- On first use (or when the session expires), Playwright opens a real Chromium window for manual SSO/MFA
- After login, cookies are saved to a Playwright storage-state file
- All subsequent MCP tool calls use those cookies via a custom
requests.Sessionsubclass - If an API response looks like an SSO redirect, the browser reopens automatically
The server monkey-patches JiraClient and ConfluenceClient constructors in mcp-atlassian to inject the browser-backed session, giving full parity with the upstream tool surface (72 tools + 1 atlassian_login helper = 73 total).
Files
| File | Purpose |
|---|---|
atlassian_browser_mcp_full.py | Entrypoint. Patches upstream clients, registers atlassian_login tool, runs the MCP server |
atlassian_browser_auth.py | Shared auth: BrowserCookieSession, interactive_login(), SSO detection |
run-atlassian-browser-mcp.sh | Launcher: creates venv, installs deps via uv, runs compatibility check, starts server |
pyproject.toml | Dependency pins |
Usage
./run-atlassian-browser-mcp.sh
Or configure as an MCP server in your editor (Cursor, Claude Code, etc.) pointing to the launcher script.
Environment variables
| Variable | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
JIRA_URL | (required) | Jira base URL (e.g. https://jira.example.com) |
CONFLUENCE_URL | (required) | Confluence base URL (e.g. https://confluence.example.com) |

ATLASSIAN_USERNAME | (none) | Optional: prefill username on SSO page |
ATLASSIAN_SSO_MARKERS | (auto) | Comma-separated URL/text markers for SSO redirect detection. Defaults cover Okta, ADFS, Azure AD, PingOne, Google SAML |
TOOLSETS | all | Which upstream toolsets to enable |
