Describe the bug
apm can find the Atlassian MCP server but the suggested installation instructions fail when running apm install.

To Reproduce

Create apm.yml with the following content:

dependencies:
  apm: []
  mcp:
  - com.atlassian/atlassian-mcp-server

Run apm install --verbose:

❯ apm install --verbose
[>] Installing dependencies from apm.yml...
Parsed apm.yml: 0 APM deps, 1 MCP deps
No APM dependencies found in apm.yml
+- MCP Servers (1)
No scripts detected, using all installed runtimes: copilot, vscode
Validating 1 registry servers...

|  >  com.atlassian/atlassian-mcp-server
|     +- Configuring for Copilot, Vscode...

  Installing com.atlassian/atlassian-mcp-server...

  Installing com.atlassian/atlassian-mcp-server...
Unable to configure server: com.atlassian/atlassian-mcp-server
  x com.atlassian/atlassian-mcp-server installation failed
  x Failed to install com.atlassian/atlassian-mcp-server
|  +  com.atlassian/atlassian-mcp-server -> Copilot, Vscode (configured)
+- Configured 1 server

[*] Installed 1 MCP server.

It "Failed to install com.atlassian/atlassian-mcp-server" for VS Code. Nothing is written to .vscode/mcp.json.

Expected behavior
.vscode/mcp.json should be updated with something like:

  "Rovo": {
    "type": "http",
    "url": "https://mcp.atlassian.com/v1/mcp",
    "headers": {}
  },

Environment (please complete the following information):

  • OS: Windows 11
  • Python Version: None (No system-wide installation; I use uv for everything)
  • APM Version: 0.8.11
  • VSCode Version (if relevant): 1.115.0

Logs

Additional context

MCP details were obtained through apm mcp search and apm mcp show so it was expected that using the values it printed would "just work".

❯ apm mcp search atlassian
