Configuration

The server requires configuration in the VSCode MCP settings file. Here's a sample configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "bitbucket": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/path/to/bitbucket-server/build/index.js"],
      "env": {
        "BITBUCKET_URL": "https://your-bitbucket-server.com",
        // Authentication (choose one):
        // Option 1: Personal Access Token
        "BITBUCKET_TOKEN": "your-access-token",
        // Option 2: Username/Password
        "BITBUCKET_USERNAME": "your-username",
        "BITBUCKET_PASSWORD": "your-password",
        // Optional: Default project
        "BITBUCKET_DEFAULT_PROJECT": "your-default-project"
      }
    }
  }
}

Environment Variables

BITBUCKET_URL (required): Base URL of your Bitbucket Server instance
Authentication (one of the following is required):
- BITBUCKET_TOKEN: Personal access token
- BITBUCKET_USERNAME and BITBUCKET_PASSWORD: Basic authentication credentials
BITBUCKET_DEFAULT_PROJECT (optional): Default project key to use when not specified in tool calls

Note: With the new optional project support, you can now:

Set BITBUCKET_DEFAULT_PROJECT to work with a specific project by default

Override the default project by specifying the project parameter in any tool call

Logging

The server logs all operations to bitbucket.log using Winston for debugging and monitoring purposes.
