Support for Claude Code in Agentic Pipelines (beta)

You can now use Claude Code as a third-party agent provider within Bitbucket Pipelines. This update allows you to bring your own Claude subscription to automate tasks like code reviews, debugging, and documentation directly in your CI/CD workflows. For more details, refer to Agentic Pipelines | Bitbucket Cloud | Atlassian Support.

Key changes

• Third-party agent provider support. Select Claude Code as your agent engine to leverage your existing Anthropic subscriptions and configurations.

• Custom configuration overrides. Define specific Claude settings, such as model types or tool permissions, directly in your pipeline YAML or via a dedicated configuration file.

• Extended capabilities with MCP. Connect the Atlassian Model Context Protocol (MCP) server or third-party MCPs to give your agents access to additional tools and data sources.

Benefits

• Leverage existing investments. Use the Claude subscriptions your organization already maintains instead of managing new credit systems.

• Enhanced task automation. Utilize Claude’s advanced reasoning to handle complex software development tasks like refactoring code or summarizing pull request comments.

• Consistent environments. Run agents in the same container as your build tools, giving them direct access to your repository and dependencies.

• Flexible tool integration. Expand what your agents can do by plugging in custom or third-party tools via the Model Context Protocol.
