When we launched BluBees on the Atlassian Marketplace, we knew the real work was just beginning. Building something genuinely useful means getting it in front of real teams, watching how they use it, and iterating on what actually matters. That's what Beta is for. And today, we're sharing everything that's in it — MCP support, four AI models, Webhook Node, Conditional Routes, and a canvas built for everyone on your team.
MCP, Model Context Protocol, is showing up everywhere in the Atlassian ecosystem right now. But most of the conversation assumes you already know what it is. This post starts from the beginning: what MCP is, why it exists, and why it matters specifically for teams using Jira. The short version: it's the standard that lets AI models talk to your tools, and act on them, without custom integration work for every combination. And it changes a lot about what's possible.
