### Description (declared)

# spike-mcp

[![PyPI](https://img.shields.io/pypi/v/spike-mcp)](https://pypi.org/project/spike-mcp/)
[![Python](https://img.shields.io/pypi/pyversions/spike-mcp)](https://pypi.org/project/spike-mcp/)

MCP server that connects Claude to Jira and Confluence. Engineers can research spikes, generate technical solutions with Mermaid architecture diagrams, write Confluence docs, and create Jira epic + story breakdowns through natural conversation — no Anthropic API key required.

---

## Features

- **Research** — search Confluence and Jira before generating anything
- **Design** — produce Mermaid architecture/flow diagrams as part of every spike doc
- **Write** — create or update Confluence pages (markdown + Mermaid → Confluence storage format)
- **Ticket** — create Jira Epics, Stories with acceptance criteria, and Tasks; supports both next-gen and classic projects
- **Zero LLM cost** — Claude itself provides all intelligence; no separate AI API key needed

---

## Installation

```bash
pip install spike-mcp
# or
uv add spike-mcp
```

---

## Setup

### Step 1 — Create `~/.spike.toml`

Create `~/.spike.toml` in your home directory with your Atlassian details:

```bash
# macOS / Linux
touch ~/.spike.toml
```

```toml
[atlassian]
base_url = "https://yourorg.atlassian.net"
email    = "you@yourorg.com"

[confluence]
# If your Confluence is on a different domain than Jira, set this:
# base_url = "https://yourorg-docs.atlassian.net"
space_key      = "ENG"
parent_page_id = "123456"

[jira]
project_key        = "PLAT"
epic_issue_type    = "Epic"
story_issue_type   = "Story"
task_issue_type    = "Task"
default_label      = "spike"
story_points_field = "customfield_10016"
epic_link_field    = "customfield_10014"

[tickets]
story_point_scale = [1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13]
```

> **Tip:** Config is also discovered automatically in your project root or any parent directory up to the git root — useful when running spike-mcp from a specific repo. The search order is: current directory → git ro…
