Atlassian has unveiled Rovo Code Search and an expanded Model Context Protocol server for developer AI workflows.[^2]

The company confirmed its Model Context Protocol server currently exposes 200 tools and handles 15 million daily tool calls.[^1] Atlassian also stated the Agentic Multiplayer Protocol will assign AI agents governed identities, authority and context limits.[^3]

The Model Context Protocol was redesigned 28 July 2026 as a stateless HTTP request/response protocol, replacing the previous stateful session architecture.[^5] Separately, AgentPrivArena integrates authentic Model Context Protocol tools and self-hosted services within a reproducible execution environment.[^4]

Security experts characterise the Model Context Protocol as a 'new attack surface' due to the increased connectivity it provides to AI agents.[^6] Analysts recommend implementing specific security controls to mitigate risks associated with expanded agent capabilities on the protocol.[^7]
