What's Wrong?

Summary
The claude.ai Atlassian Rovo MCP connector (https://mcp.atlassian.com/v1/mcp) can no longer be
authenticated. Starting the OAuth flow via /mcp produces an Atlassian consent page that
immediately errors with "Something went wrong", because the "Claude" OAuth app requests scopes
that are not registered on the app. Existing sessions appear to have dropped for the same
reason.

Environment

  • Claude Code: 2.1.204
  • OS: macOS (Darwin 25.5.0)
  • Connector: claude.ai Atlassian Rovo → https://mcp.atlassian.com/v1/mcp
  • OAuth app: Claude, client_id DqcwTNKsBLUYFRRYpaL7X51HD2WNl3R6

Steps to reproduce

  1. Connector shows only authenticate / complete_authentication tools (lost auth).
  2. /mcp → claude.ai Atlassian Rovo → Authenticate.
  3. Open the returned auth.atlassian.com/consent?... URL (signed in to Atlassian).
  4. Consent page renders an error instead of Accept/Deny.

Actual (error text, verbatim)

▎ Something went wrong — INFORMATION FOR THE OWNER OF CLAUDE
▎ This app has requested scopes that have not been added to the app. … add the following scopes:
▎ write:goal:townsquare, read:goal:townsquare, write:project:townsquare,
▎ read:project:townsquare.

What Should Happen?

The authorize request includes 4 townsquare (Atlas Goals/Projects) scopes not present in the
OAuth app's registered scope list → Atlassian rejects the whole authorization. Fix = add those
scopes to the "Claude" app at developer.atlassian.com/apps, or drop them from the requested set.
