Bitbucket

You run an MCP server that exposes Bitbucket API operations to MCP-compatible clients. It lets you manage repositories, branches, pull requests, pipelines, webhooks, deployments, and more, all through a consistent MCP interface while keeping your Bitbucket credentials securely tokenized on the server side.

How to use

After you start the MCP server, you connect your MCP client to the server’s endpoint and begin issuing high-level actions such as listing repositories, creating a pull request, triggering a pipeline, or reading a file. This server translates those actions into Bitbucket API calls and returns structured results that you can display in your MCP client. Practical use cases include automating repository setup, auditing branch protections, reviewing PR diffs, and tracking deployment histories across environments.

How to install

Prerequisites: you need Python 3.11+ and a working Python package manager. For local development and usage, you will also use uv or uvicorn for serving the MCP endpoint.

# Install the Bitbucket MCP Server from PyPI
pipx install mcp-server-bitbucket

# Or install via pip
pip install mcp-server-bitbucket

# Start the local MCP server in stdio mode (example runtime command)
uv run python -m src.server

# Or run the HTTP server variant for remote deployment (development example)
uv run uvicorn src.http_server:app --reload --port 8080

Configuration and remote deployment

You can connect Claude Code or other MCP clients to a remote deployment of the MCP server. To connect, you typically provide the remote URL where the MCP endpoint is exposed and, if required, an authentication header.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "bitbucket_http": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://your-deployment-url.com/mcp",
      "args": []
    },
    "bitbucket_stdio": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "uv",
      "args": ["run", "python", "-m", "src.server"]
    }
  }
}

Security and credentials

Keep Bitbucket credentials and API tokens on the server side. Do not expose tokens in client configurations. Use environment variables or secret management provided by your hosting environment to supply tokens like BITBUCKET_WORKSPACE, BITBUCKET_EMAIL, and BITBUCKET_API_TOKEN when the client connects.
