Atlassian MCP Server Permissions Versus Data Security Policies for AI Access

A DEV Community author tested how to keep Claude's access to Jira and Confluence read-only through Atlassian's MCP server. Disabling the Jira write toolset in the Permissions tab blocked writes over both OAuth and API-token connections within 18 seconds, while reads continued. A data security policy blocking spaces or apps only filtered OAuth searches on the V2 endpoint and had no effect on the deprecated V1 endpoint. The author reports that the Permissions tab applies to the whole organization and was more reliable, whereas the data security policy requires Atlassian Guard, which costs $870 a month for 200 users. The post also notes that the settings have moved from Rovo to Connectors in the admin console, where they override Connected Apps settings.
