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 claude mcp add-json (recommended)

The easiest way to add this server is using the claude mcp add-json command:

# First, build the server npm run build # Then add it using claude mcp add-json claude mcp add-json confluence

When prompted, paste the following JSON configuration:

{ "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: Manual configuration

Alternatively, you can manually edit 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 3: Using tsx for development

For development or if you prefer running TypeScript directly:

{ "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"
