Atlassian MCP: -32601 "Method not found" after every tool call (MCP Apps widget probe)

Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?

Cursor IDE

Describe the Bug

When the agent uses the Atlassian MCP plugin (plugin-atlassian-atlassian / remote https://mcp.atlassian.com/v1/mcp), each successful Jira tool call is followed by a visible chat error:

MCP error -32601: Method not found

The UI shows “Ran Create Jira Issue in atlassian” (or other Atlassian tools), then immediately surfaces this error. The underlying Jira operation succeeds — issues are created/updated in Jira as expected. The error is cosmetic but very noisy (one error per tool invocation).

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Install and authenticate the Atlassian MCP plugin in Cursor.
  2. In Agent chat, ask the agent to create one or more Jira issues in a project you have write access to (e.g. TECHSERV).
  3. Observe the chat tool-run UI after each createJiraIssue (or similar) call.

Expected Behavior

  • Tool runs successfully.
  • No error shown in chat when the server does not advertise MCP Apps / widget resources.

Does this stop you from using Cursor

No - Cursor works, but with this issue

Hi @Andrew_Chen,

You should be seeing a rich UI here:

However, the backend is reporting the following error:

Error reading resource 'ui://widget/jira-widget.html': MCP error -32601: Method not found

This typically indicates that Atlassian’s servers are returning “Method Not Found” in response to a resources/read request.

The best course of action would probably be to raise an issue on their GitHub repo.
