# Bitbucket MCP Server
**A Model Context Protocol server for AI agents to interact with Bitbucket Cloud Pull Requests**

## Overview
This MCP server exposes **read-only** Bitbucket Cloud Pull Request operations as tools that AI agents (Claude, etc.) can invoke over stdio. It connects your AI workflow directly to your Bitbucket repositories.
### Capabilities
| Category | Operations |
|----------|-----------|
| **Pull Requests** | List, get details, get full expanded PR |
| **Code Review** | Diff, patch, file changes, commits |
| **Collaboration** | Comments, activities, participants, reviewers |
| **Workflow** | Status, tasks, task count |
| **Auth** | Token validation |
---
## Quick Start
### Prerequisites
- Node.js **24.13+** (see `.nvmrc`)
- A Bitbucket Cloud [App Password](https://bitbucket.org/account/settings/app-passwords/) with **repository read** permissions
### Installation
```bash
git clone
cd bitbucket-mcp
npm install
```
### Configuration
Create a `.env` file in the project root:
```env
BITBUCKET_MCP_EMAIL=your_email@example.com
BITBUCKET_MCP_TOKEN=your_app_password
# Optional defaults (avoids passing workspace/repo on every call)
DEFAULT_WORKSPACE=my-workspace
DEFAULT_REPO=my-repo
```
Or export as environment variables (takes priority over `.env`):
```bash
export BITBUCKET_MCP_EMAIL=your_email@example.com
export BITBUCKET_MCP_TOKEN=your_app_password
```
### Run
```bash
# Production
npm start
# Development (hot reload)
npm run dev
# Build
npm run build
```

## MCP Client Configuration
### Claude Code
Add the following to your Claude Code MCP settings (`~/.claude/settings.json` or project `.claude/settings.json`):
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"bitbucket": {
"command": "node",
"args": [
"/absolute/path/to/bitbucket-mcp/dist/index.js"
],
"env": {
"BITBUCKET_MCP_EMAIL": "your_email@example.com",
"BITBUCKET_MCP_TOKEN": "your_bitbucket_app_password",
"DEFAULT_WORKSPACE": "your-workspace",
"DEFAULT_REPO": "your-repo"
}
}
}
}
```
### Claude Desktop
Add to your Claude Desktop config (`~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json` on macOS or `%APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json` on Windows):
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"bitbucket": {
"command": "node",
"args": [
"/absolute/path/to/bitbucket-mcp/dist/index.js"
],
"env": {
"BITBUCKET_MCP_EMAIL": "your_email@example.com",
"BITBUCKET_MCP_TOKEN": "your_bitbucket_app_password",
"DEFAULT_WORKSPACE": "your-workspace",
"DEFAULT_REPO": "your-repo"
}
}
}
}
```
> **Note:** You must build the project first (`npm run build`) since the config points to `dist/index.js`. Use the **absolute path** to the compiled entry point. Setting `DEFAULT_WORKSPACE` and `DEFAULT_REPO` is optional but convenient — it lets you omit those parameters from every tool call.

1. Environment variables (`BITBUCKET_MCP_EMAIL` + `BITBUCKET_MCP_TOKEN`)
2. `.env` file in project root
3. Interactive prompt (development only)
