MCP server for Bitbucket Data Center — code search, file browsing, PRs, commits, and more
mcp-bitbucket-dc
MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for Bitbucket Data Center. Enables AI assistants to search code, browse files, manage pull requests, and explore repositories through a standardized interface.
Built with FastMCP in Python. Installs via uvx — no Node.js required.
Quick Start
1. Generate a Personal Access Token
- Log in to your Bitbucket Data Center instance
- Go to Manage Account → HTTP access tokens
- Click Create token
- Set permissions: Repository Read (and Write if you need PR creation/commenting)
- Copy the token
2. Configure Your IDE
Add to your MCP configuration (mcp.json in VS Code, claude_desktop_config.json for Claude Desktop):
{
"mcpServers": {
"bitbucket-dc": {
"command": "uvx",
"args": ["mcp-bitbucket-dc"],
"env": {
"BITBUCKET_HOST": "git.yourcompany.com",
"BITBUCKET_API_TOKEN": "your-personal-access-token"
}
}
}
}
That's it. The server starts automatically when your IDE connects.
3. Start Using
Ask your AI assistant:
- "Search for CompanyInfoUpdater in the codebase"
- "Show me the file structure of the api-service repo in PROJECT"
- "Get the content of src/main/Application.java from repo backend"
- "List open pull requests in PROJECT/my-repo"
- "What branches exist in PROJECT/my-repo?"

config lang:python
# Filter by repository or project
DatabaseHelper repo:backend-api
service project:PLATFORM
# Filter by path
