Connect Atlassian to Claude via Bindify

Works with Jira, Confluence, and other Atlassian products. Set up once. Never re-authenticate again.

// Setup steps

Step 1: Sign up

Create a Bindify account at app.bindify.dev. You can start with the free 24-hour trial — no credit card required.

Step 2: Connect Atlassian

In your Bindify dashboard, click "Add Connection" and select Atlassian. You will be redirected to Atlassian to authorize Bindify. Select which Atlassian site(s) you want to grant access to.

Step 3: Copy your secret URL

After authorization, Bindify generates your permanent MCP URL. Copy it from the dashboard. It looks like:

https://api.bindify.dev/s/{connection-id}/{secret}/sse

Step 4: Add to Claude

Follow the instructions below for your Claude client.

// Claude Desktop

Open your Claude Desktop config file and add the Atlassian MCP server:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "atlassian": {
      "url": "https://api.bindify.dev/s/{connection-id}/{secret}/sse"
    }
  }
}

Replace {connection-id} and {secret} with the values from your Bindify dashboard. Restart Claude Desktop to activate.

// Claude Code

Add the Atlassian MCP server using the Claude Code CLI:

claude mcp add atlassian \
  --transport http \
  --url https://api.bindify.dev/s/{connection-id}/{secret}/mcp \
  --header "x-api-key: {your-api-key}"

Your API key is available in the Bindify dashboard under account settings. The /mcp endpoint is used for streamable HTTP transport.

// Troubleshooting

Claude says it cannot connect to Atlassian

Check your Bindify dashboard. If the Atlassian connection shows an error status, click "Re-authorize" to refresh the OAuth token. Your secret URL stays the same.

Getting "auth too fast" errors

This is an Atlassian rate-limiting issue. Bindify handles this automatically with retry logic. If you see this in the dashboard, wait a few minutes and it should resolve. If it persists, click "Re-authorize."

Wrong Atlassian site connected

Revoke the connection in your Bindify dashboard, then reconnect. During Atlassian's authorization flow, you can select which site to grant access to.

I want to check my connection status

Log in to app.bindify.dev and view your dashboard. Each connection shows its status (active, refreshing, or error) and last-used timestamp.
