What is the Confluence MCP MCP server?

If you want an AI assistant working directly with Confluence MCP, the confluence mcp mcp server is the bridge. Model Context Protocol server for Atlassian Confluence integration.

What Confluence MCP does

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides secure access to Atlassian Confluence through its REST API.

Tools it exposes

Once connected, the assistant can call these 7 tools directly:

  • search_confluence — Search content across allowed spaces
  • get_page — Retrieve a specific page by ID
  • create_page — Create a new page
  • update_page — Update an existing page
  • delete_page — Delete a page
  • list_spaces — List accessible spaces
  • get_space_content — Get pages from a specific space

Installing the confluence mcp mcp server

Setup follows the standard MCP pattern: clone or install the server, then register it in your client's configuration file and restart the client. The configuration snippets on this page cover Claude Desktop, Claude Code and Cursor.

Configuration

Before the server will start you need to supply 4 environment variables: CONFLUENCE_BASE_URL, CONFLUENCE_USERNAME, CONFLUENCE_API_TOKEN, ALLOWED_SPACES. Keep credentials in your client's env block or a secrets manager rather than committing them.

Where it fits

Developer-tool servers are usually the first ones people connect, because they turn "help me with this code" into an assistant that can actually read the repo and act on it. Confluence MCP sits in that group, and the shape of its toolset — search_confluence, get_page, create_page among others — tells you what it is really for. Worth comparing against the other developer tools servers in this directory before you commit to one, since several overlap in scope but differ sharply in setup cost and permissions.

Practical notes

  • This server runs locally, so it operates with whatever access your machine and its credentials already have. Scope that deliberately rather than by default.
  • It will not start until its required credentials are present, so set those before wondering why the tools never appear.
  • With 7 tools exposed, expect a noticeable bump in prompt size — disable it in projects that never use Confluence MCP.
  • Maintained by Olson3R, written in TypeScript.
  • MCP clients ask for confirmation before each tool call by default. Keep that on while you learn what the confluence mcp mcp server actually does with your data.
  • Every entry in this directory is reviewed by hand before it goes live, and details are checked against the project's own documentation.

Frequently asked questions

It connects Confluence MCP to MCP-compatible AI assistants such as Claude and Cursor, exposing 7 tools (search_confluence, get_page, create_page, and more) that the assistant can call on your behalf. Instead of copying data back and forth by hand, the assistant works with Confluence MCP directly.
