How to connect Bitbucket MCP with VS Code

VS Code is the most popular code editor out there. With its recent AI makeover, it can do more than just help you write code. You can connect your applications to it and let LLMs automate many of the mundane tasks in your workflow.

In this guide, I will explain how to connect Bitbucket with VS Code in the most secure and robust way possible via Composio.

Also integrate Bitbucket with

Why use Composio?

Composio provides:

  • Access to 1,000+ managed apps from a single MCP endpoint. This makes it convenient for agents to run cross-app workflows.
  • Programmatic tool calling. Allows LLMs to write its code in a remote workbench to handle complex tool chaining. Reduces to-and-fro with LLMs for frequent tool calling.
  • Large tool response handling outside the LLM context. This minimizes context bloat from large tool responses.
  • Dynamic just-in-time access to thousands of tools across hundreds of apps. Composio loads the tools your agent needs, so LLMs are not overwhelmed by tools they do not need.

Integrate Bitbucket MCP with VS Code

1. Install with one click

Click the button below to add Composio to VS Code. You will be prompted to authorize. This requires VS Code 1.99+ with GitHub Copilot.

+Install in VS Code

2. Or add manually

Open or create .vscode/mcp.json in your project root and add the following configuration:

bash
{
  "servers": {
    "composio": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://connect.composio.dev/mcp"
    }
  }
}

3. Authorize

Click the install button to authorize VS Code to connect to Composio. VS Code will detect OAuth and prompt you to sign in.

A browser window will open to authorize.

4. Authenticate Bitbucket and start working

Back in VS Code chat, ask the agent to connect to Bitbucket or give it any Bitbucket-related task.

For example, ask it to:

  • "Create a new branch off main"
  • "Open a pull request for your feature"
  • "Comment on the latest open issue"

It will prompt you to authenticate and authorize access to Bitbucket.

That is it. Composio tools are now available in VS Code, and your Bitbucket account is ready to use.

Supported Tools & Triggers

Tools
Create a branchCreates a new branch in a bitbucket repository from a target commit hash; the branch name must be unique, adhere to bitbucket's naming conventions, and not include the 'refs/heads/' prefix.
Create an issueCreates a new issue in a bitbucket repository, setting the authenticated user as reporter; ensures assignee (if provided) has repository access, and that any specified milestone, version, or component ids exist.
Create an issue commentAdds a new comment with markdown support to an existing bitbucket issue.
Create a pull requestCreates a new pull request in a specified bitbucket repository, ensuring the source branch exists and is distinct from the (optional) destination branch.
Create repositoryCreates a new bitbucket 'git' repository in a specified workspace, defaulting to the workspace's oldest project if `project key` is not provided.
Create snippet commentPosts a new top-level comment or a threaded reply to an existing comment on a specified bitbucket snippet.
Delete issuePermanently deletes a specific issue, identified by its `issue id`, from the repository specified by `repo slug` within the given `workspace`.
Delete repositoryPermanently deletes a specified bitbucket repository; this action is irreversible and does not affect forks.
Get current userRetrieves the profile information (uuid, display name, links, creation date) for the currently authenticated bitbucket user.
Get file from repositoryRetrieves a specific file's content from a bitbucket repository at a given commit (hash, branch, or tag), failing if the file path is invalid for that commit.
Get Pull RequestGet a single pull request by id with complete details.
Get snippetRetrieves a specific bitbucket snippet by its encoded id from an existing workspace, returning its metadata and file structure.
List pull requestsLists pull requests in a specified, accessible bitbucket repository, optionally filtering by state (open, merged, declined).
List repositories in workspaceLists repositories in a specified bitbucket workspace, accessible to the authenticated user, with options to filter by role or query string, and sort results.
List workspace membersLists all members of a specified bitbucket workspace; the workspace must exist.
List workspacesLists bitbucket workspaces accessible to the authenticated user, optionally filtered and sorted.
Update an issueUpdates an existing issue in a bitbucket repository by modifying specified attributes; requires `workspace`, `repo slug`, `issue id`, and at least one attribute to update.

Way Forward

Now that Bitbucket is connected, extend your setup by connecting the other apps you already use every day, so your agent can run true cross-app workflows end to end.

  • Connect Calendar to turn threads into scheduled meetings automatically.
  • Connect Slack or Teams to post summaries, approvals, and alerts where your team works.
  • Connect Notion, Linear, Jira, or Asana to convert requests into tickets, tasks, and docs.
  • Connect Drive, Dropbox, or OneDrive to fetch, file, and share attachments without manual steps.
  • Connect HubSpot or Salesforce to log customer context, update records, and draft follow-ups.

Start with one workflow you do repeatedly, then keep adding apps as you find new handoffs. With everything behind a single MCP endpoint, your agent can coordinate multiple tools safely and reliably in one conversation.

FAQ

What are the differences in Tool Router MCP and Bitbucket MCP?

With a standalone Bitbucket MCP server, the agents and LLMs can only access a fixed set of Bitbucket tools tied to that server. However, with the Composio Tool Router, agents can dynamically load tools from Bitbucket and many other apps based on the task at hand, all through a single MCP endpoint.

Can I use Tool Router MCP with VS Code?

Yes, you can. VS Code fully supports MCP integration. You get structured tool calling, message history handling, and model orchestration while Tool Router takes care of discovering and serving the right Bitbucket tools.

Can I manage the permissions and scopes for Bitbucket while using Tool Router?

Yes, absolutely. You can configure which Bitbucket scopes and actions are allowed when connecting your account to Composio. You can also bring your own OAuth credentials or API configuration so you keep full control over what the agent can do.

How safe is my data with Composio Tool Router?

All sensitive data such as tokens, keys, and configuration is fully encrypted at rest and in transit. Composio is SOC 2 Type 2 compliant and follows strict security practices so your Bitbucket data and credentials are handled as safely as possible.
