Choosing between Atlassian MCP and Teamwork Graph CLI

Atlassian MCP and Teamwork Graph CLI give your agents similar tools for getting context across Atlassian and apps connected to Teamwork Graph, and for getting work done in Atlassian. The choice comes down to your agent, your environment and what you're building:

• Use Atlassian MCP when your agent runs in a browser, on mobile, or as a cloud-hosted agent.

• Use Teamwork Graph CLI when you're building scripts, CI/CD pipelines, or other repeatable workflows.

• Use whichever you prefer when your agent runs on your desktop with terminal access, such as Claude Code CLI or in the Codex desktop app.

You can also connect both. Your agent can choose between them on its own, or you can tell it which one to use for a task or in its instructions — for example, in agents.md.
