Add an external MCP server from Atlassian Administration

Before you can use tools or skills in Rovo, Studio, and other experiences, you need to add an external MCP (Model Context Protocol) server from Atlassian Administration.

To add an external MCP server:

  1. Go to Atlassian Administration. Select your organization if you have more than one.

  2. From the sidebar menu, expand Apps.

  3. Expand Sites then select the site where the MCP server will be added.

  4. Select Connected apps.

  5. Expand the dropdown button beside Explore apps.

  6. Select Add external MCP server.

  7. Read the disclaimers, then select Agree and continue.

  8. Select the MCP server you want to add. If it’s not in the list, select Custom MCP server.

  9. Select Next then follow the installation instructions.

After you've added the MCP server, you'll be taken to the settings screen where you can configure tools.
