bitbucket-mcp-server

@droplinkperformance/bitbucket-mcp-server

Provider-agnostic, AI-review-first Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for Bitbucket Cloud.

The primary value of this server is AI-powered code review and pull request analysis, not CRUD against the Bitbucket API. Every major dependency (SCM access, cache, token storage, rate limiting, LLM, events) is hidden behind a provider-agnostic interface so the same business logic can later target GitHub / GitLab / Azure DevOps and OpenAI / Anthropic / Gemini / Bedrock without changes to use-cases, agents, or domain contracts.

Status: Phase 1. See Roadmap.

Features (Phase 1)

• Dual transports: stdio (Cursor / Claude Desktop) and Streamable HTTP (Node http, for remote/production).
• Auto-discovered tools via a ToolRegistry — no manual registration.
• Explicit BitbucketContext (workspace + optional repository) on every tool — multi-workspace ready.
• Resilient BitbucketClient: auth injection, auto-pagination, retry/backoff, rate-limit handling, caching, secret masking.
• Two auth strategies: OAuth 2.0 (Authorization Code, with rotating refresh-token persistence) and Bearer token.
• AI code review (analyze_pull_request) backed by a CodeReviewAgent that chunks large PRs and returns a standard ReviewResult.
• Pluggable LLM provider (OpenAI / Anthropic / Gemini / Bedrock), cache (memory / Redis), and token store (file / memory / Redis).

Tools

Tool	Description
get_current_user	Authenticated user.
list_pull_requests	List PRs (filter by state/query).
get_pull_request	Fetch a PR by id.
create_pull_request	Open a PR.
update_pull_request	Edit an open PR title and/or description.
get_pull_request_diff	Raw unified diff.
get_pull_request_files	Changed files + line stats.
get_pull_request_comments	PR comments.
comment_pull_request	Add a (optionally inline) comment.
analyze_pull_request	AI review returning a standard ReviewResult.

All tool inputs accept workspace (optional if BITBUCKET_DEFAULT_WORKSPACE is set) and, where applicable, repository.

Architecture

src/
  index.ts            entry: chooses transport
  container.ts        composition root (the only place wiring concretes)
  mcp/                McpServer + ToolRegistry (auto-discovery) + transports
  tools/              thin MCP adapters (*.tool.ts) -> call exactly one use-case
  application/        use-cases (CQRS-ish: command|query) with Input/Output DTOs
  agents/             autonomous workflows implementing Agent<TInput,TOutput>
  domain/             provider-agnostic types, repository contracts, ReviewResult
  repositories/bitbucket/  Bitbucket implementations of the contracts
  clients/bitbucket/  resilient REST client
  auth/               AuthProvider (+ token/oauth) and TokenStore implementations
  cache/              CacheProvider (+ memory/redis)
  ratelimit/          RateLimitStrategy (+ bitbucket)
  llm/                LlmProvider (+ openai/anthropic/gemini/bedrock)
  events/             EventBus (+ in-memory)
  services/           reusable services (masking, chunking)
  telemetry/          OpenTelemetry bootstrap + metrics
  infrastructure/     config, logger, http, attachments
  shared/             errors, result envelope, http-status, BitbucketContext

Flow: tool -> use-case -> (agent | repository contract) -> repositories/bitbucket -> BitbucketClient. Agents may also use the LlmProvider and EventBus. Tools never contain business logic.

Requirements

• Node.js 23+

Install

Published as @droplinkperformance/bitbucket-mcp-server.

npx -y @droplinkperformance/bitbucket-mcp-server

From source:

npm install
npm run build

Release

Merges to main run .github/workflows/release.yml: tests, build, then semantic-release. Version and npm publish happen only when the merge includes Conventional Commits:

Commit	Bump
fix:	patch
feat:	minor
BREAKING CHANGE / feat!:	major

Other messages skip publish. The GitHub secret NPM_TOKEN (npm Automation token for the droplinkperformance org) is required.

After a successful npm release, the same workflow waits until that version is visible on the npm registry, then publishes metadata to the MCP Registry as io.github.droplinkperformance/bitbucket-mcp-server (OIDC, no extra secret). To republish MCP metadata for the current package.json version without cutting a new release, run the workflow manually with Publish mcp only. github.com/mcp syncs from that registry; if the server does not appear, email [email protected].

To stay on 0.x for the first release, tag the current commit (git tag v0.1.0 && git push origin v0.1.0) before the first conventional merge; otherwise semantic-release starts at 1.0.0.

Configuration

Copy .env.example to .env and fill in values. Load it with Node's built-in flag:

node --env-file=.env dist/index.js

Key variables:

Variable	Default	Notes
MCP_TRANSPORT	stdio	stdio or http.
HTTP_HOST / HTTP_PORT	0.0.0.0 / 3000	HTTP transport bind.
BITBUCKET_DEFAULT_WORKSPACE	–	Fallback when a tool omits workspace.
BITBUCKET_ACCESS_TOKEN	–	API token (ATATT…), app password, or OAuth access token
BITBUCKET_EMAIL	–	Required with API tokens (ATATT…) — your Atlassian account email
BITBUCKET_CLIENT_ID / BITBUCKET_CLIENT_SECRET	–	Required for OAuth (when no access token).
BITBUCKET_REFRESH_TOKEN	–	Optional seed for headless OAuth.
TOKEN_STORE	file	file | memory | redis.
CACHE_PROVIDER	memory	memory | redis.
LLM_PROVIDER	openai	openai | anthropic | gemini | bedrock.
MAX_FILES_PER_CHUNK / MAX_DIFF_LINES_PER_CHUNK	50 / 5000	Large-PR chunking thresholds.
OTEL_ENABLED	false	No-op metrics unless enabled.

Authentication

Bearer (OAuth access token): set BITBUCKET_ACCESS_TOKEN only (non-ATATT tokens).

API token (recommended, ATATT…): set BITBUCKET_ACCESS_TOKEN and BITBUCKET_EMAIL (your Atlassian account email from Bitbucket → Personal settings → Email aliases). API tokens use HTTP Basic auth, not Bearer.

App password (legacy, until June 2026): set BITBUCKET_ACCESS_TOKEN and BITBUCKET_USERNAME (your Bitbucket username).

OAuth 2.0 (Authorization Code): set BITBUCKET_CLIENT_ID / BITBUCKET_CLIENT_SECRET. Tokens are persisted by the configured TOKEN_STORE; Bitbucket rotates refresh tokens, and the server persists the new one on every refresh. For headless boot, provide a previously obtained BITBUCKET_REFRESH_TOKEN.

Bitbucket OAuth endpoints used: authorize https://bitbucket.org/site/oauth2/authorize, token https://bitbucket.org/site/oauth2/access_token. The authorize URL can be built from OAuthProvider.buildAuthorizeUrl() and the returned ?code= exchanged via OAuthProvider.loginWithCode(code).

LLM provider

Set LLM_PROVIDER and the matching key:

LLM_PROVIDER=openai      # OPENAI_API_KEY
LLM_PROVIDER=anthropic   # ANTHROPIC_API_KEY
LLM_PROVIDER=gemini      # GEMINI_API_KEY
LLM_PROVIDER=bedrock     # AWS creds + BEDROCK_MODEL_ID (needs @aws-sdk/client-bedrock-runtime)

ioredis (Redis providers) and @aws-sdk/client-bedrock-runtime (Bedrock) are optional and loaded lazily — only needed when selected.

Running

MCP_TRANSPORT=stdio node --env-file=.env dist/index.js

• Phase 2: Pipelines + full-text paginated logs, pipeline-investigator agent, auto_review_pull_request (dry-run / publish inline comments).
• Phase 3: Remaining CRUD — repositories, commits, branches, tags, issues, workspaces, members, search.
• Phase 4: analyze_dotnet_pull_request (dotnet-review agent), advanced agents, automation workflows.
• Phase 5: Docker, Compose, Helm, production deploy guide.
