Oauth Configuration for Atlassian MCP Server

[Rahul Arora]

Hi,

I am trying to look at configuring Atlassian MCP Server but rather than relying on the Atlassian to create the managed app on first user logon and do oauth, I want to create the OAuth app upfront and use the Authorization workflow to generate the access token.

This access token could then be used to invoke MCP calls on user behalf.

Is this setup possible with Atlassian MCP?

    "mcp-atlassian-service": {
      "url": "https://mcp.atlassian.com/v1/ss3",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer <USER_OAUTH_ACCESS_TOKEN>"
      }
    }
  }
}
