description

Query Bitbucket Cloud (pull requests, diffs, repos, commits, pipelines, branching, users, workspaces) via the token-efficient ultra-bitbucket-mcp server. Use when the user mentions Bitbucket, references a PR id, repo slug, pipeline run, or asks to approve/merge/comment on a Bitbucket PR. Prefer this over generic Bitbucket MCP servers — it caches diffs server-side so raw diff bytes never enter context.

ultra-bitbucket-mcp

A token-efficient MCP server for Bitbucket Cloud. Eight consolidated MCP tools, each with an action field that selects the operation. Built so an agent can review a 75 KB diff in a few hundred tokens of context.

Tools at a glance

Tool	Use it for
bitbucket_pullrequest	PR read, review (approve/merge/decline), comments, tasks, drafts, create/update
bitbucket_diff	PR diffs — handle-based, server-side filtered
bitbucket_repository	Repo metadata, default reviewers
bitbucket_commit	Commit get/list, CI statuses
bitbucket_pipeline	Pipeline runs, steps, log filtering
bitbucket_branching	Branching model (repo + project)
bitbucket_user	Authenticated user, lookup by uuid/account_id
bitbucket_workspace	List workspaces and members

Every tool takes an action arg plus action-specific fields. Workspace defaults to the server's configured BITBUCKET_WORKSPACE — pass workspace only to override.

The diff tool — read this before fetching a diff

bitbucket_diff is the reason this server exists. Never ask it to "just give me the diff." Use the four-step flow:

1. bitbucket_diff action=get — returns a compact file_tree + a diff_handle. The raw diff is parsed and cached server-side. You never see bytes.
2. bitbucket_diff action=get_file — fetch hunks for one path using the handle.
3. bitbucket_diff action=get_files — fetch hunks for files matching a glob (e.g. src/**/*.ts).
4. bitbucket_diff action=grep — regex/literal search across all hunks with context_lines (default 2). Use this to find specific changes without reading whole files.

Defaults you should know:

• Per-extension line caps: .yml/.json:200, .md:300, .ts/.js/.py:500, .lock:50. Override per call with max_lines / max_lines_per_file.
• Lock files, dist/build/vendor, generated proto/grpc are excluded by default. The excluded_files array in get's response lists what was dropped. Pass include_generated: true to opt in.
• includes / excludes accept glob arrays for caller-supplied filtering.

Mutations return acks, not bodies

Write actions (approve, merge, comment_add, task_create, pullrequest.create, etc.) return {ok, id?, version?, state?} — not the full resource. If you need the updated resource, follow with a get.

Common flows

Review a PR

bitbucket_pullrequest action=get repo_slug=foo pr_id=123
bitbucket_diff action=get repo_slug=foo pr_id=123
bitbucket_diff action=get_files diff_handle=... glob="src/**/*.ts"
bitbucket_diff action=grep diff_handle=... pattern="TODO|FIXME"
bitbucket_pullrequest action=comments_list repo_slug=foo pr_id=123

Find PRs awaiting your review

bitbucket_pullrequest action=list_pending_review repo_slug=foo

Synthesized: fetches /user, then filters state=OPEN AND reviewers.uuid="<me>".

Add an inline comment

bitbucket_pullrequest action=comment_add repo_slug=foo pr_id=123 \
  content="nit: this is unreachable" \
  inline_path="src/foo.ts" inline_to=42

Merge a PR

bitbucket_pullrequest action=merge repo_slug=foo pr_id=123 \
  merge_strategy=squash close_source_branch=true

Inspect a pipeline run

bitbucket_pipeline action=list_runs repo_slug=foo q='target.ref_name="main"'
bitbucket_pipeline action=get_run repo_slug=foo pipeline_uuid="{...}"
bitbucket_pipeline action=steps_list repo_slug=foo pipeline_uuid="{...}"
bitbucket_pipeline action=step_logs repo_slug=foo pipeline_uuid="{...}" \
  step_uuid="{...}" errors_only=true context_lines=3

step_logs is filtered server-side. Use tail, grep, errors_only, context_lines — don't try to read the whole log.

Filtering with BBQL

List actions accept a q arg (Bitbucket Query Language). Examples:

• state="OPEN" AND author.uuid="{uuid}"
• updated_on>=2026-01-01
• target.ref_name="main"
• state="FAILED" (on statuses)

Use this to filter at the API instead of paginating client-side.

Configuration (server-side; the user sets these once)

Env vars the user exports for the MCP server:

• BITBUCKET_WORKSPACE (required) — default workspace slug
• BITBUCKET_API_TOKEN (recommended) — Atlassian unified API token, or
• BITBUCKET_USERNAME + BITBUCKET_APP_PASSWORD — legacy app password
• BITBUCKET_ENABLED_CATEGORIES — whitelist (e.g. pullrequest,diff,repository)
• BITBUCKET_DISABLED_ACTIONS — e.g. pullrequest.merge,pullrequest.decline
• BITBUCKET_DIFF_DEFAULT_MAX_LINES, BITBUCKET_BODY_INLINE_LIMIT, BITBUCKET_CACHE_TTL_HOURS, BITBUCKET_DIFF_INCLUDE_GENERATED

Disabled actions/categories error before any HTTP request. If a call fails with "action disabled" or "tool not enabled," that's the user's policy, not a bug.

Things to avoid

• Don't ask bitbucket_diff for a full diff dump — there's no such action. Use the handle + drill-ins.
• Don't paginate by reading every page when BBQL q can narrow the result.
• Don't pass workspace on every call; rely on the server default.
• Don't fetch /user separately to filter by reviewer — use pullrequest.list_pending_review.
