Arlet makes Atlassian's official MCP server (Rovo MCP) available from the AI client you already use. There is no app to create on the Atlassian side. Signing in completes the connection.

The AI can search, create, update and transition Jira issues, and search, read, create and update Confluence pages. The available tools are those provided by Atlassian's official server, and what can be read or written is exactly what your Atlassian account can. If your organization admin restricts connecting domains, ask them to allow Arlet's domain.
