2. Fill in your Atlassian details:

{
  "atlassian": {
    "baseUrl": "https://your-instance.atlassian.net",
    "email": "your-email@example.com",
    "token": "your-api-token-here"
  },
  "server": {
    "name": "atlassian-server",
    "version": "0.1.0"
  }
}

• ATLASSIAN_BASE_URL: Your Atlassian instance URL (e.g., https://your-instance.atlassian.net)
• ATLASSIAN_EMAIL: Your Atlassian account email
• ATLASSIAN_TOKEN: Your Atlassian API token
• ATLASSIAN_CONFIG_PATH: (Optional) Path to a custom config file location

Getting an Atlassian API Token

1. Log in to your Atlassian account at https://id.atlassian.com/manage-profile/security/api-tokens
2. Click “Create API token”
3. Give your token a name (e.g., “MCP Server”)
