Installation

Using npx (Recommended)

The easiest way to use this MCP server is directly with npx:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "bitbucket": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@nexus2520/bitbucket-mcp-server"
      ],
      "env": {
        "BITBUCKET_USERNAME": "your-username",
        "BITBUCKET_APP_PASSWORD": "your-app-password"
      }
    }
  }
}

For Bitbucket Server:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "bitbucket": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@nexus2520/bitbucket-mcp-server"
      ],
      "env": {
        "BITBUCKET_USERNAME": "your.email@company.com",
        "BITBUCKET_TOKEN": "your-http-access-token",
        "BITBUCKET_BASE_URL": "https://bitbucket.yourcompany.com"
      }
    }
  }
}

From Source

1. Clone or download this repository
2. Install dependencies:

   npm install
   

3. Build the TypeScript code:

   npm run build
   

Authentication Setup

This server uses Bitbucket App Passwords for authentication.

Creating an App Password

1. Log in to your Bitbucket account
2. Navigate to: https://bitbucket.org/account/settings/app-passwords/
3. Click "Create app password"
4. Give it a descriptive label (e.g., "MCP Server")
5. Select the following permissions:
   • Account: Read
   • Repositories: Read, Write
   • Pull requests: Read, Write
6. Click "Create"
7. Important: Copy the generated password immediately (you won't be able to see it again!)

Running the Setup Script

node scripts/setup-auth.js

This will guide you through the authentication setup process.

Configuration

Add the server to your MCP settings file (usually located at ~/.vscode-server/data/User/globalStorage/saoudrizwan.claude-dev/settings/cline_mcp_settings.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "bitbucket": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/absolute/path/to/bitbucket-mcp-server/build/index.js"],
      "env": {
        "BITBUCKET_USERNAME": "your-username",
        "BITBUCKET_APP_PASSWORD": "your-app-password"
      }
    }
  }
}

Replace:

• /absolute/path/to/bitbucket-mcp-server with the actual path to this directory
• your-username with your Bitbucket username (not email)
• your-app-password with the app password you created

For Bitbucket Server, use:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "bitbucket": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/absolute/path/to/bitbucket-mcp-server/build/index.js"],
      "env": {
        "BITBUCKET_USERNAME": "your.email@company.com",
        "BITBUCKET_TOKEN": "your-http-access-token",
        "BITBUCKET_BASE_URL": "https://bitbucket.yourcompany.com"
      }
    }
  }
}

Important for Bitbucket Server users:

• Use your full email address as the username (e.g., "john.doe@company.com")
• This is required for approval/review actions to work correctly
