Connect **Claude Code**, **VS Code (GitHub Copilot)**, **Cursor**, and any MCP-compatible AI assistant to your Bitbucket Cloud repositories. Review pull requests, monitor pipelines, and manage your code — all through natural language.

## Features

- **45 MCP tools** — repositories, pull requests, comments, tasks, diffs, pipelines, build statuses, reviewers, draft PRs, batch review
- **Slim responses** — stripped API noise for lower LLM token usage
- **Configurable** — enable/disable tools via `configs/tools.json` or `BITBUCKET_TOOLS_CONFIG` env var
- **Secure credentials** — environment variables or system keychain

## Quick Start

### 1. Install

The recommended way to run the server is via **uvx** (zero install, isolated environment):

```bash
# Always latest version
uvx --from bitbucket-mcp-py bitbucket-mcp

# Pin a specific version
uvx --from bitbucket-mcp-py==1.8.1 bitbucket-mcp
```

> **Why `--from`?** The PyPI package is `bitbucket-mcp-py` but the command entry point is `bitbucket-mcp`. The `--from` flag tells uvx which package to install.

<details>
<summary>Alternative install methods</summary>

| Mode | Command | Best for |
|------|---------|----------|
| **pip global** | `pip install bitbucket-mcp-py` | Simple, persistent install |
| **Local dev** | `pip install -e .` in project dir | Contributing to the project |
| **Docker** | See [Docker section](#docker-alternative) | Container-based workflows |

</details>

### 2. Configure credentials

Set the following environment variables (or use a `.env` file — see [Credentials](#credentials)):

| Variable | Description |
|----------|-------------|
| `BITBUCKET_USERNAME` | Your Bitbucket email |
| `BITBUCKET_TOKEN` | Your Bitbucket API token |
| `BITBUCKET_WORKSPACE` | Your workspace slug |

> **Get your API token** at: https://id.atlassian.com/manage-profile/security/api-tokens
>
> ⚠️ **Use a scoped token, not a global one.** When creating the token, select specific scopes (e.g. `Repositories: Read`, `Pull requests: Read/Write`). Global tokens without explicit scopes do not work with this MCP server.

### 3. Configure your AI assistant

#### Claude Code (recommended)

**Option A — CLI (fastest):**

```bash
claude mcp add bitbucket-mcp \
  -e BITBUCKET_USERNAME=your-email@example.com \
  -e BITBUCKET_TOKEN=your-api-token \
  -e BITBUCKET_WORKSPACE=your-workspace \
  -- uvx --from bitbucket-mcp-py bitbucket-mcp
```

**Option B — JSON config** (`~/.claude.json` or project `.mcp.json`):

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "bitbucket-mcp": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["--from", "bitbucket-mcp-py", "bitbucket-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "BITBUCKET_USERNAME": "your-email@example.com",
        "BITBUCKET_TOKEN": "your-api-token",
        "BITBUCKET_WORKSPACE": "your-workspace"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

#### VS Code (GitHub Copilot)

Add to `.vscode/mcp.json` (workspace) or `~/Library/Application Support/Code/User/mcp.json` (global, macOS):

```json
{
  "servers": {
    "bitbucket-mcp": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["--from", "bitbucket-mcp-py", "bitbucket-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "BITBUCKET_USERNAME": "your-email@example.com",
        "BITBUCKET_TOKEN": "your-api-token",
        "BITBUCKET_WORKSPACE": "your-workspace"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

#### Cursor

Add to `~/.cursor/mcp.json`:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "bitbucket-mcp": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["--from", "bitbucket-mcp-py", "bitbucket-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "BITBUCKET_USERNAME": "your-email@example.com",
        "BITBUCKET_TOKEN": "your-api-token",
        "BITBUCKET_WORKSPACE": "your-workspace"
      }
    }
  }
}
```
