Overview
- Atlassian, which announced the shift Wednesday at its Team ’26 event in Anaheim, opened its Teamwork Graph to Model Context Protocol (MCP) clients and a new command‑line tool in open beta so agents like Claude Code and IDE copilots can query live context across Jira, Confluence, and connected apps.
- MCP is a common way for AI tools to talk to company systems, and Atlassian’s new MCP servers and a Teamwork Graph CLI now give third‑party agents a secure path to fetch relationships between people, projects, code, and documents instead of pasting raw text into prompts.
- Atlassian launched a public site at teamworkgraph.com that lets customers visualize how their work items connect across tools for the first time.
- Rovo Studio is now generally available, and a new Max mode in Rovo Chat is coming that can break a request into steps, act across SaaS apps, and deliver outputs, with Atlassian saying Max will use variable, value‑based pricing to be detailed soon.
- Atlassian cites its own test showing agents with graph access used 48% fewer tokens and were 44% more accurate, and it reports Rovo usage at more than 14 million actions last month with adoption at over 75% of the Fortune 500, which suggests developers and teams could offload more real work as agents gain richer context.
