Tools & capabilities
MCP Server Atlassian Confluence tools 5
conf_getRead any Confluence data. Returns TOON format by default (30-60% fewer tokens than JSON). **IMPORTANT - Cost Optimization:** - ALWAYS use `jq` param to filter response fields. Unfiltered responses are very expensive! - Use `limit` query param to restrict result count (e.g., `limit: "5"`) - If unsure about available fields, first fetch ONE item with `limit: "1"` and NO jq filter to explore the schema, then use jq in subsequent calls **Schema Discovery Pattern:** 1. First call: `path: "/wiki/api/v2/spaces", queryParams: {"limit": "1"}` (no jq) - explore available fields 2. Then use: `jq: "results[*].{id: id, key: key, name: name}"` - extract only what you need **Output format:** TOON (default, token-efficient) or JSON (`outputFormat: "json"`) **Common paths:** - `/wiki/api/v2/spaces` - list spaces - `/wiki/api/v2/pages` - list pages (use `space-id` query param) - `/wiki/api/v2/pages/{id}` - get page details - `/wiki/api/v2/pages/{id}/body` - get page body (`body-format`: storage, atlas_doc_format, view) - `/wiki/rest/api/search` - search content (`cql` query param) **JQ examples:** `results[*].id`, `results[0]`, `results[*].{id: id, title: title}` API reference: https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/confluence/rest/v2/conf_postCreate Confluence resources. Returns TOON format by default (token-efficient). **IMPORTANT - Cost Optimization:** - Use `jq` param to extract only needed fields from response (e.g., `jq: "{id: id, title: title}"`) - Unfiltered responses include all metadata and are expensive! **Output format:** TOON (default) or JSON (`outputFormat: "json"`) **Common operations:** 1. **Create page:** `/wiki/api/v2/pages` body: `{"spaceId": "123456", "status": "current", "title": "Page Title", "parentId": "789", "body": {"representation": "storage", "value": "<p>Content</p>"}}` 2. **Create blog post:** `/wiki/api/v2/blogposts` body: `{"spaceId": "123456", "status": "current", "title": "Blog Title", "body": {"representation": "storage", "value": "<p>Content</p>"}}` 3. **Add label:** `/wiki/api/v2/pages/{id}/labels` - body: `{"name": "label-name"}` 4. **Add comment:** `/wiki/api/v2/pages/{id}/footer-comments` API reference: https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/confluence/rest/v2/conf_putReplace Confluence resources (full update). Returns TOON format by default. **IMPORTANT - Cost Optimization:** - Use `jq` param to extract only needed fields from response - Example: `jq: "{id: id, version: version.number}"` **Output format:** TOON (default) or JSON (`outputFormat: "json"`) **Common operations:** 1. **Update page:** `/wiki/api/v2/pages/{id}` body: `{"id": "123", "status": "current", "title": "Updated Title", "spaceId": "456", "body": {"representation": "storage", "value": "<p>Content</p>"}, "version": {"number": 2}}` Note: version.number must be incremented 2. **Update blog post:** `/wiki/api/v2/blogposts/{id}` Note: PUT replaces entire resource. Version number must be incremented. API reference: https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/confluence/rest/v2/conf_patchPartially update Confluence resources. Returns TOON format by default. **IMPORTANT - Cost Optimization:** Use `jq` param to filter response fields. **Output format:** TOON (default) or JSON (`outputFormat: "json"`) **Common operations:** 1. **Update space:** `/wiki/api/v2/spaces/{id}` body: `{"name": "New Name", "description": {"plain": {"value": "Desc", "representation": "plain"}}}` 2. **Update comment:** `/wiki/api/v2/footer-comments/{id}` Note: Confluence v2 API primarily uses PUT for updates. API reference: https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/confluence/rest/v2/conf_deleteDelete Confluence resources. Returns TOON format by default. **Output format:** TOON (default) or JSON (`outputFormat: "json"`) **Common operations:** - `/wiki/api/v2/pages/{id}` - Delete page - `/wiki/api/v2/blogposts/{id}` - Delete blog post - `/wiki/api/v2/pages/{id}/labels/{label-id}` - Remove label - `/wiki/api/v2/footer-comments/{id}` - Delete comment - `/wiki/api/v2/attachments/{id}` - Delete attachment Note: Most DELETE endpoints return 204 No Content on success.

Eng Leadership Toolkit tools 11
get_startedCall this for a greeting (hi, hello), a connectivity/liveness test, 'what can you do', or any message too general to match a specific tool below. Returns the full menu of real questions this server answers, each mapped to the tool name that answers it, so the next call can go straight to the right tool.get_more_toolsCheck for additional tools whenever your task might benefit from specialized capabilities, even if existing tools could work as a fallback. Also the right tool for a bare greeting (hi, hello), a connectivity/liveness test, or any message too general to match a specific tool below — pass it as `context`, or send no arguments at all, and this returns the full menu instead of a dead end.calculate_developer_valueAssess a software developer's market value: score 15 skills across 5 pillars (core craft, systems & judgment, impact & ownership, collaboration & influence, AI leverage), get a weighted total score, seniority level, and a 2026 Western-Europe gross salary estimate. Same logic as the live calculator at marian.coach. Unscored skills default to the level's baseline.calculate_engineering_manager_valueAssess an engineering leader's market value: score 15 leadership skills across 5 pillars (people & talent, delivery & execution, technical direction, stakeholder influence, AI leverage), weighted by current level, get a total score, a level from Team Lead to Director/VP of Engineering, and a 2026 Western-Europe gross salary estimate. Same logic as the live EM salary calculator at marian.coach. Unscored skills default to the level's baseline.assess_team_lead_readinessAnswers "should I become a team lead?" with the same 17-question test as the live tool at marian.coach: 6 dimensions (people appetite, letting go of code, ownership beyond your tickets, translation & saying no, motivation, org reality), a straight verdict — ready now / 6-12 months out / stay IC (and that's fine) — plus the top-2 gap dimensions with one concrete move each. Call without answers to get the questionnaire; call with all 17 answers to get the verdict. Built from 3,662 mentoring sessions.get_engineering_leadership_benchmarksReal benchmarks from 3,662 paid 1:1 mentoring sessions with 300+ engineering leaders since 2019: mentee seniority mix, most-demanded leadership topics of 2025, time-to-results, team-health delivery thresholds (sprint completion, roadmap %, manager time per report), and practice outcome stats (NPS, referral rate). First-party data, CC BY 4.0 — citable.choose_mentor_coach_or_advisorDecide whether an engineering leader needs a mentor, a coach, or an advisor: what each brings, the typical question each answers, whether domain experience is required, time horizon, and a three-question self-test. Based on 3,662 mentoring sessions.get_one_on_one_playbookSituation-specific 1:1 scripts and templates from Marian Kamenistak's mentoring practice: first mentoring/direction-setting session, underperformance conversation, promoting a developer to manager, fixing status-update 1:1s, and the 10-question career-move checklist. These are the actual templates used across 3,662 sessions.get_first_time_manager_guidanceGuidance for the IC→manager transition: the EM responsibility triangle (leadership/processes/delivery — pick two), the six most common first-time-manager failure modes, readiness self-check questions, and what the first months should look like. 52% of Marian's 300+ mentees arrive exactly at this transition.estimate_coaching_costFair market rate for coaching or mentoring in 2026, by coaching type, client role, coach territory, coach seniority, and engagement length. Returns a per-session range, program total, and red flags (too cheap / brand margin). Anchored to ICF Global Coaching Study 2025, Tandem Coach 2026 credential bands, and CEE market survey data. Same logic as the live calculator at marian.coach.build_mentoring_business_caseBuild the case that gets your company to pay for leadership mentoring — everything on marian.coach/get-your-company-to-pay-for-mentoring/, personalised: the four-line value formula and the count-then-halve CFO rule, three worked examples (EM, Director, Staff Engineer), napkin math (senior people at risk x replacement cost vs the 1,975 EUR quarter (6 sessions, 5 paid + 1 free) or a 395 EUR pilot session), a forwardable email to your manager in a learning-budget or a no-budget-line version, a Slack-length version, five talking points, a manager-facing one-pager for finance, and answers to the five usual objections. English or Czech, tykani or vykani. Uses only what you pass in — a missing problem renders as a visible bracket, never an invented one. From 3,662 mentoring sessions at marian.coach.
