A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for interacting with Confluence Data Center via REST API. This server provides a set of tools that allow AI models to interact with Confluence content.
This MCP server provides the following operations for Confluence:
Create a .env file in the project root with the following variables:
Adjust the values to match your Confluence instance.
The proper way to run an MCP server is using the MCP CLI tool with the development mode. This will start the MCP Inspector UI which allows you to test and debug the server:
This will start the MCP Inspector at http://127.0.0.1:6274 by default.
MCP servers are designed to be run with the MCP CLI tool or integrated with Claude Desktop. Direct execution with Python is not the standard way to run an MCP server, but the script includes a fallback mode for testing:
However, this mode has limited functionality and is only intended for basic testing.
To install the server in Claude Desktop:
Execute a CQL query on Confluence to search pages.
Parameters:
cql: CQL query stringlimit: Number of results to return (default: 10)Get the content of a Confluence page.
Parameters:
pageId: Confluence Page IDGet a page with its body content.
Parameters:
pageId: Confluence Page IDFind pages by space key.
Parameters:
