What is the Confluence MCP server?

Confluence MCP server providing API tools for Atlassian Confluence operations including page management, space handling, and content search with built-in rate limiting and error handling. That is what the confluence mcp server brings to an AI assistant: the same capability, reachable through the Model Context Protocol rather than a separate app or dashboard.

The short version

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server implementation for Atlassian Confluence. This server provides a set of tools for interacting with Confluence through the MCP protocol, allowing AI agents to seamlessly work with Confluence content. Built with Flask for easy deployment to Cloud Run.

  • Search pages and spaces using Confluence Query Language (CQL)
  • List all available Confluence spaces
  • Create, read, update, and delete Confluence pages
  • Rich metadata support for Confluence resources
  • Flask-based server for Cloud Run deployment
  • MCP tools for AI agent integration

Getting it running

Setup follows the usual MCP pattern — install or clone the server, register it in your client's configuration file, restart the client.

What it needs from you

Configuration is passed through the environment: CONFLUENCE_URL, CONFLUENCE_ACCESS_TOKEN, YOUR_URL, YOUR_TOKEN. Treat anything key-shaped as a real credential — scope it to the minimum the server needs, and rotate it if it ever lands in a shared config.

Things to watch

  • It runs with your machine's permissions. That is convenient and also the reason to think about what you point it at before you approve a tool call.
  • Missing credentials fail quietly in some clients — if no tools show up, check the environment block first.
  • Keep per-call confirmation enabled while you learn its behaviour; it is the cheapest safeguard you have.

How it compares

Plenty of developer tooling servers cover similar ground. The differences that matter in practice are scope of access and how much setup stands between you and a working tool call. It is maintained by pawankumar94; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.

SyncDev reviews every entry in this directory against the project's own documentation before publishing, and revisits them as servers change.

Frequently asked questions

It requires a Confluence access token obtained from Atlassian Account Settings, configured via the `CONFLUENCE_ACCESS_TOKEN` environment variable.
