Set up Bitbucket MCP in VS Code

Interact with Atlassian Bitbucket workspaces, repositories, pull requests, and code search through the Bitbucket API.

1

Locate the config file

VS Code reads MCP server configuration from the following file:

.vscode/settings.json → mcp section

Create this file if it does not already exist. For VS Code, this is inside your workspace .vscode/settings.json file under the mcp section.

2

Add the configuration

Add the following to your VS Code config file:

json
{
  "servers": {
    "bitbucket-mcp": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@aashari/mcp-server-atlassian-bitbucket"
      ],
      "env": {
        "ATLASSIAN_BITBUCKET_USERNAME": "YOUR_ATLASSIAN_BITBUCKET_USERNAME",
        "ATLASSIAN_BITBUCKET_TOKEN": "YOUR_ATLASSIAN_BITBUCKET_TOKEN"
      }
    }
  }
}
3

Set up environment variables

Bitbucket MCP requires the following environment variables:

ATLASSIAN_BITBUCKET_USERNAMERequired

Bitbucket username or email

ATLASSIAN_BITBUCKET_TOKENRequired

Bitbucket app password or API token

4

Verify it works

Restart VS Code. Bitbucket MCP should appear in your MCP server list with 10 tools available.

This server adds approximately 5,150 tokens to your context window for tool definitions.
