How do I install bitbucket?

You can install bitbucket by adding it to your MCP client configuration (Cursor, Claude, VS Code, etc.) or by using the Stork MCP meta-server to discover and configure it automatically.

Install bitbucket in your MCP client

bitbucket is a Model Context Protocol server. Add it to your MCP client config once, restart, and the server's tools become available to your AI assistant. The same JSON snippet below works across all four major clients — only the config file path differs.

Locate your client's MCP config file.
- Cursor: ~/.cursor/mcp.json
- Claude Desktop (macOS): ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
- Claude Desktop (Windows): %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json
- VS Code: Settings → Extensions → MCP
- Windsurf: Settings → MCP Servers
Add bitbucket to the mcpServers map — paste the snippet below into your config file. If you already have other MCP servers, merge the entry into the existing mcpServers object.
Restart your client so it picks up the new server.
Verify — ask the assistant to list available tools; bitbucket's tools should appear.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "bitbucket": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@atlassian-dc-mcp/bitbucket"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Install bitbucket in Cursor

Open ~/.cursor/mcp.json in your editor, paste the snippet above into mcpServers, save, and restart Cursor. bitbucket will show up in the assistant's tool list on next launch.

Install bitbucket in Claude Desktop (macOS)

Open ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json in your editor, paste the snippet above into mcpServers, save, and restart Claude Desktop (macOS). bitbucket will show up in the assistant's tool list on next launch.

Install bitbucket in Claude Desktop (Windows)

Open %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json in your editor, paste the snippet above into mcpServers, save, and restart Claude Desktop (Windows). bitbucket will show up in the assistant's tool list on next launch.

Install bitbucket in VS Code

Open Settings → Extensions → MCP in your editor, paste the snippet above into mcpServers, save, and restart VS Code. bitbucket will show up in the assistant's tool list on next launch.

Transport

bitbucket supports the following MCP transports. Most AI clients use stdio by default for locally-installed servers.
