Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?
Cursor IDE
Describe the Bug
Cursor’s agent-facing MCP calls to the configured Atlassian MCP server fail with the generic message “We are having trouble completing this action. Please try again shortly.”, even though the Atlassian MCP server itself successfully executes the same tool calls.
This appears to be a Cursor-side MCP result propagation or translation issue between the MCP server response and the agent/UI layer, not an Atlassian auth or Confluence access issue.
Environment
Cursor on Windows
Atlassian MCP server configured globally in mcp.json
Config:
{
“mcpServers”: {
“Atlassian-MCP-Server”: {
“url”: “https://mcp.atlassian.com/v1/mcp”
}
}
}
Evidence
Atlassian MCP server is working
From \AppData\Roaming\Cursor\logs\20260407T111001\window1\exthost\anysphere.cursor-mcp\MCP user-Atlassian-MCP-Server.log
OAuth/connect succeeded:
MCP OAuth tokens persisted
OAuth tokens saved
Successfully connected to streamableHttp server
Tool calls succeeded:
Successfully called tool ‘getAccessibleAtlassianResources’
Successfully called tool ‘atlassianUserInfo’
Successfully called tool ‘getConfluenceSpaces’
Cursor MCP layer sees the tool calls
From \AppData\Roaming\Cursor\logs\20260407T111001\window1\workbench.mcp.allowlist.log
Cursor receives the tool invocations, for example:
mcpToolCall bubble: serverName=“Atlassian-MCP-Server”, toolName=“getConfluenceSpaces”
The calls are allowlisted:
shouldBlockMcp: ALLOWED (explicitly in allowlist) toolName=“getConfluenceSpaces”
UI/agent side still fails
From \AppData\Roaming\Cursor\logs\20260407T111001\window1\renderer.log
Nearby generic error:
An unknown error occurred. Please consult the log for more details. {}
The exact text We are having trouble completing this action was surfaced to the agent, but I did not find that exact string persisted in the local log files.
Request ID: 4e17cd28-8984-4605-894e-85c604a7eb87
Steps to Reproduce
Configure Atlassian MCP server in Cursor.
Ensure OAuth/login completes.
Run an MCP tool from the agent, for example:
getAccessibleAtlassianResources
getConfluenceSpaces with cloudId set
Observe that the agent receives:
“We are having trouble completing this action. Please try again shortly.”
Expected Behavior
The MCP tool result should be returned to the agent.
