Confluence MCP Server

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

Using with Claude Code

To use this MCP server with Claude Code, add it to your MCP configuration file:

Option 1: Using the built version (recommended)

1. First, build the server:

   npm run build
   

2. Add to your MCP configuration file (~/.config/claude-code/mcp_servers_config.json):

   {
     "mcpServers": {
       "confluence": {
         "command": "node",
         "args": ["/path/to/confluence_mcp/dist/index.js"],
         "env": {
           "CONFLUENCE_BASE_URL": "https://your-domain.atlassian.net",
           "CONFLUENCE_USERNAME": "your-email@domain.com",
           "CONFLUENCE_API_TOKEN": "your-api-token",
           "ALLOWED_SPACES": "SPACE1,SPACE2,SPACE3"
         }
       }
     }
   }
   

Option 2: Using tsx for development

For development or if you prefer running TypeScript directly:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "confluence": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["tsx", "/path/to/confluence_mcp/src/index.ts"],
      "env": {
        "CONFLUENCE_BASE_URL": "https://your-domain.atlassian.net",
        "CONFLUENCE_USERNAME": "your-email@domain.com",
        "CONFLUENCE_API_TOKEN": "your-api-token",
        "ALLOWED_SPACES": "SPACE1,SPACE2,SPACE3"
      }
    }
  }
}

Configuration Notes

• Replace the environment variables with your actual Confluence credentials
• The ALLOWED_SPACES should be a comma-separated list of space keys you want to allow access to
• Restart Claude Code after updating the configuration
• Make sure you have built the project first with npm run build if using Option 1

Once configured, you can use commands like:

• "Search for API documentation in Confluence"
• "Create a new page in the DEV space"
• "Show me all pages in the PROJ space"

Quick Start

1. Install dependencies:

   npm install
   

2. Configure environment:

   cp .env.example .env
   # Edit .env with your Confluence credentials
   

3. Build and run:

   npm run build
   npm start
   

   Or for development:

   npm run dev
   

Configuration

Create a .env file with your Confluence credentials:

CONFLUENCE_BASE_URL=https://your-domain.atlassian.net
CONFLUENCE_USERNAME=your-email@domain.com
CONFLUENCE_API_TOKEN=your-api-token
ALLOWED_SPACES=SPACE1,SPACE2,SPACE3
DEBUG=false

3. Give it a descriptive label
4. Copy the generated token (save it securely!)
