# Atlassian (Jira + Confluence)

Full Jira and Confluence integration with two authentication methods:
- **OAuth 2.1** via Atlassian MCP server — browser-based consent, auto-refresh tokens, calls MCP tools
- **API token** — email + token stored in keyring, calls REST API directly

## First-Time Setup

### Option 1: OAuth 2.1 via MCP Server (Recommended)

No API tokens or instance URLs needed. Uses dynamic client registration and PKCE.

```bash
pip install -r requirements.txt
python scripts/auth.py login --oauth
```

A browser opens for Atlassian authorization. Select which products (Jira, Confluence, Compass) to grant access. Tokens are stored in the system keyring and auto-refresh when expired.

Check status:
```bash
python scripts/auth.py status
```

### Option 2: API Token (Fallback)

For environments where browser-based OAuth isn't available.

```bash
pip install -r requirements.txt
python scripts/auth.py login
```

Follow the prompts to enter your Atlassian URL, email, and API token. Credentials are stored securely in the system keyring.

Create an API token at: https://id.atlassian.com/manage-profile/security/api-tokens

Check authentication status:
```bash
python scripts/auth.py status
```

Logout (clears both OAuth and API token credentials):
```bash
python scripts/auth.py logout
```

## Backend Selection

The scripts automatically detect which backend to use based on your auth type:
- **OAuth** → MCP backend (calls Atlassian MCP server tools)
- **API token** → REST backend (calls Atlassian REST API directly)

All commands work identically regardless of backend.

## Jira (scripts/jira.py)

### Search issues with JQL
```bash
python scripts/jira.py search "project = DEV AND status = Open"
python scripts/jira.py search "assignee = currentUser() ORDER BY updated DESC" --limit 10
```

### Get issue details
```bash
python scripts/jira.py get DEV-123
```

### Create an issue
```bash
python scripts/jira.py create --project DEV --summary "Fix login bug" --type Bug
python scripts/jira.py create --project DEV --summary "New feature" --type Story \
  --description "Details here" --priority High --assignee "user@example.com" --labels "backend,urgent"
```

### Update an issue
```bash
python scripts/jira.py update DEV-123 --summary "Updated summary" --priority High
python scripts/jira.py update DEV-123 --assignee "user@example.com"
```

### Transition issue status
```bash
python scripts/jira.py transition DEV-123 "In Progress"
python scripts/jira.py transition DEV-123 "Done"
```

### Add and list comments
```bash
python scripts/jira.py comment DEV-123 --add "This is a comment"
python scripts/jira.py comment DEV-123 --list
```

### List projects and statuses
```bash
python scripts/jira.py list-projects
python scripts/jira.py list-statuses DEV
```

### Test authentication
```bash
python scripts/jira.py auth-info
```

### List available MCP tools (OAuth only)
```bash
python scripts/jira.py list-tools
```

## Confluence (scripts/confluence.py)

### Search pages
```bash
python scripts/confluence.py search "deployment guide"
python scripts/confluence.py search "type=page AND space=DEV AND text~\"deployment\""
python scripts/confluence.py search "onboarding" --limit 10
```

### Read a page
```bash
python scripts/confluence.py read <page-id>
python scripts/confluence.py read <page-id> --json
```

### List spaces
```bash
python scripts/confluence.py list-spaces
python scripts/confluence.py list-spaces --limit 50
```

### Get space details
```bash
python scripts/confluence.py get-space <space-id>
```

### List pages in a space
```bash
python scripts/confluence.py list-pages --space-id <space-id>
```

### Create a page
```bash
python scripts/confluence.py create --title "New Page" --space-id <space-id>
python scripts/confluence.py create --title "Guide" --space-id <id> --body "<p>Content here</p>"
python scripts/confluence.py create --title "Child" --space-id <id> --parent-id <parent-id>
```

### Update a page
```bash
python scripts/confluence.py update <page-id> --title "Updated Title"
python scripts/confluence.py update <page-id> --body "<p>New content</p>"
```

### Get child pages
```bash
python scripts/confluence.py get-children <page-id>
