Enables interaction with Confluence through CQL queries and content retrieval.
Enables interaction with Confluence through CQL queries and content retrieval. The confluence communication mcp server wraps that behind the Model Context Protocol, so an assistant can use it through 4 defined tools rather than through you.
This is a TypeScript-based MCP server that provides tools to interact with Confluence. It demonstrates core MCP concepts by providing:
Everything the assistant can do here goes through one of these:
execute_cql_search — The execute_cql_search tool exposed by this serverget_page_content — The get_page_content tool exposed by this serverupdate_page_content — The update_page_content tool exposed by this serverDebugging — Since MCP servers communicate over stdio, debugging can be challenging. We recommend using the [MCPYou will need 3 environment variables: CONFLUENCE_URL, CONFLUENCE_API_MAIL, CONFLUENCE_API_KEY. The server will not start without them, which is usually why the tools fail to appear on a first run. Keep credentials in your client's env block or a secrets manager rather than in a file you might commit.
The server ships on npm as @smithery/cli, so your MCP client can launch it on demand — there is no separate build step. Add the server block to your client's configuration, restart it, and the tools register themselves.
Among the developer tooling options, the useful question is rarely "what can it do" but "what does it cost you to run" — permissions, credentials, and how much of your context its toolset consumes. Confluence Communication's toolset — execute_cql_search, get_page_content, update_page_content and 1 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by KS-GEN-AI; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.

| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
| execute_cql_search | The execute_cql_search tool exposed by this server. |
| get_page_content | The get_page_content tool exposed by this server. |
| update_page_content | The update_page_content tool exposed by this server. |
| Debugging | Since MCP servers communicate over stdio, debugging can be challenging. We recommend using the [MCP Inspector](https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/inspector), which is available as a package script: |
