Status: Available. Atlassian Rovo uses Atlassian’s official Rovo MCP server and browser OAuth. You do not paste an Atlassian API token. The connection reads only. Your Atlassian account and the site you choose set what it can reach. Explore the Atlassian Rovo connector.

​
What you need

  • An Atlassian Cloud site with Jira or Confluence
  • An Atlassian organization admin who can add a domain under Connectors, then Atlassian MCP server, in Atlassian Administration
  • Rovo credits in your Atlassian organization for Rovo search and Teamwork Graph reads
  • An ApexGenius account

​
Allow ApexGenius in Atlassian first

Atlassian sends Rovo MCP sign-ins only to domains your organization allows, and its default list does not include ApexGenius. An organization admin does this once for the whole organization:
  1. Go to Atlassian Administration and select the organization.
  2. Select Connectors, then Atlassian MCP server.
  3. Select Add domain and enter https://server.autom8.pro/**.
Until the domain is added, Atlassian stops the sign-in. Removing the domain blocks new connections.
Before you start
  • An Atlassian Cloud site with Jira or Confluence, and an Atlassian account that can read the work you need.
  • An Atlassian organization admin who can change the Atlassian MCP server settings.
  • Rovo credits in your Atlassian organization. Rovo search and Teamwork Graph reads can spend up to 10 Rovo credits a call from the shared pool.

Ask an admin to allow ApexGenius

In Atlassian Administration, an organization admin selects Connectors, then Atlassian MCP server, chooses Add domain, and enters https://server.autom8.pro/**. Atlassian stops the sign-in until this is done. If your organization uses an IP allowlist, ask ApexGenius support for the address to add.
Atlassian's public support page Control Atlassian MCP server settings, with a red box around the three Add domains steps: Atlassian Administration, Connectors then Atlassian MCP server, and Add domain.

Atlassian's own admin guide: Atlassian Administration, Connectors, Atlassian MCP server, then Add domain. Enter https://server.autom8.pro/**. This is Atlassian's public support page, so no account appears in it.

​
Tools and the AtlassianRovo skill

Open Skills on the connection to read AtlassianRovo, or read that MCP prompt in a compatible AI client. It explains when to use Rovo and when to use the Jira and Confluence connectors, the first safe read, and the credit rules. Three ApexGenius tools route Atlassian’s live catalog: Your AI discovers the tools with apex_search_tools. Reads use apex_call_read_tool. The connection asks Atlassian for read and search access only: Jira and Confluence reads and search, Rovo search, and Teamwork Graph reads. The connector page lists the 59 read tools by job.

​
Rovo credits

Rovo search (search) and the two Teamwork Graph reads (getTeamworkGraphContext and getTeamworkGraphObject) can spend up to 10 Rovo credits a call from your organization’s shared pool. Spent credits cannot be returned. Listing sites spends none. When you know the exact filter, ask for a JQL search (searchJiraIssuesUsingJql) or a CQL search (searchConfluence) instead.

​
Rovo or the Jira and Confluence connectors

  • Use Rovo to search across Jira, Confluence and connected apps in plain words.
  • Use Rovo to follow Teamwork Graph links between work items, pages, people, teams, goals, projects and Compass components.
  • Use Rovo to read history, worklogs, boards, versions, comments, tasks and attachments.
  • Use the Jira and Confluence connectors to create or change issues and pages.

​
Limits

  • An Atlassian organization admin must allow https://server.autom8.pro/** in Atlassian Administration under Connectors, then Atlassian MCP server, before anyone can connect.
  • If your organization uses an Atlassian IP allowlist, calls from an address it does not list fail with a permission error.
  • A refresh token that goes unused for 90 days expires. Connect again to keep using Rovo.
  • Bitbucket, Loom, Goals and Projects tools are not part of this connection.
  • Disconnecting stops future gateway access.

​
Troubleshooting

  • Atlassian stops the sign-in. The ApexGenius domain is not allowed yet. Ask an organization admin to add https://server.autom8.pro/** under Connectors, then Atlassian MCP server.
  • A site is missing. The connection reaches the site you chose at sign-in. Connect again and choose the other site.
  • An issue or page is missing. The connection sees only what your Atlassian account can open. Check that you can open it in Jira or Confluence.
  • A change was refused. This connection reads only. Use the Jira or Confluence connector for changes.
