Hosted Atlassian (Jira & Confluence) MCP alternatives
Like Atlassian's server, every option here is a managed remote endpoint: add it to your client by URL, authenticate over OAuth, and there is nothing to run. That is the appeal of the Jira and Confluence connector, and these keep the same low-setup shape while pointing at a different product.
Most of the hosted picks lean toward project and issue tracking, which is the Jira half of Atlassian. A couple cover the Confluence side: documents and company knowledge an agent can search and update.
The 8 best hosted alternatives
Boards are the unit in monday.com, and its official server creates and updates items, manages boards, columns, and groups, and queries the API over a hosted connection. It is a board-first stand-in for Jira's issues.
Set up monday.com →Open-core and Jira-shaped, Plane exposes its full project API over a hosted endpoint: work items, cycles, modules, and projects. The closest match here for a team that mainly used Jira to plan and track work.
Set up Plane →Product teams can point an agent at Shortcut's hosted server, which finds, creates, and updates Stories, Epics, Iterations, Objectives, and Docs. It covers planning and light documentation over one managed URL.
Set up Shortcut →- AsanaOfficial
Tasks, projects, and portfolios are the model in Asana, and its official remote server searches, reads, creates, and updates them. Add it by URL and it answers Jira's tracking job for teams whose work is organized as tasks rather than issues.
Set up Asana → Notion's hosted server searches, reads, and writes pages over OAuth, covering the Confluence half of Atlassian: documents and wikis rather than issues. Reach for it when the knowledge base mattered more than the tracker.
Set up Notion →Narrower than Jira on purpose, Doist's official Todoist server handles tasks, projects, labels, and reminders over a hosted endpoint. The pick when your real use was a personal or team task list, not full issue tracking.
Set up Todoist →- ClickUpOfficial
ClickUp's official remote server is the broadest single workspace here: tasks, lists, folders, docs, time tracking, and chat over a managed URL. It spans both the tracker and the document sides of Atlassian at once.
Set up ClickUp → - GuruOfficial
Verified company knowledge is Guru's focus, and its official remote server brings it into the agent: ask, search, draft, and update Cards. It maps to Confluence's knowledge-base role rather than Jira, with nothing to run.

How to choose
For the Jira half, Plane is the closest hosted match, with monday, Shortcut, and Asana strong if their model fits your team. For the Confluence half, Notion and Guru cover documents and company knowledge. ClickUp is the broadest single workspace, spanning both halves over one URL. Every option installs the way Atlassian's server does: a URL and an OAuth grant, with no process to keep running.
FAQ
- Is the Atlassian MCP server hosted or self-hosted?
- Hosted. Atlassian runs the Jira and Confluence server and you connect over OAuth by URL, with no local process, even though the code is public. The servers on this page work the same way, so the setup feels close to identical.
- Which hosted alternative covers both Jira and Confluence?
- ClickUp comes closest in one server, since it spans tasks and lists alongside docs over a single URL. If you split the two jobs, Plane or Asana handle the issue-tracking half and Notion or Guru handle the documents and knowledge half.
