## Installation

### Claude Code

Add to your Claude Code settings (`~/.claude/settings.json`):

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "confluence": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "md2confluence-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "CONFLUENCE_URL": "https://your-domain.atlassian.net/wiki",
        "CONFLUENCE_EMAIL": "your@email.com",
        "CONFLUENCE_TOKEN": "YOUR_API_TOKEN"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

### Project-specific

Add to your project's `.mcp.json`:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "confluence": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "md2confluence-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "CONFLUENCE_URL": "https://your-domain.atlassian.net/wiki",
        "CONFLUENCE_EMAIL": "your@email.com",
        "CONFLUENCE_TOKEN": "YOUR_API_TOKEN"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

## Get API Token

1. Go to https://id.atlassian.com/manage/api-tokens
2. Click "Create API token"
3. Copy the token to `CONFLUENCE_TOKEN`

## Usage

Once configured, Claude Code can use these tools automatically.

### Prompt Examples

#### Upload to your personal space

```
"Upload README.md to my personal Confluence space"
```

```
"Upload this document to my Confluence space"
```

#### Upload to a specific space (with URL)

```
"Upload docs/SETUP.md to Confluence here: https://company.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/TEAM/overview"
```

```
"Create a new page in https://company.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/~712020170fdaa4716743419285f156aa587665/overview with this content"
```

#### Update an existing page

```
"Update this Confluence page with the latest content: https://company.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/TEAM/pages/123456/My+Page"
```

```
"Sync docs/API.md to https://company.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/EN/pages/789012/API+Reference"
```

#### Create a child page (sub-page)

```
"Create a new page under https://company.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/TEAM/pages/123456/Parent+Page"
```

```
"Add a sub-page to this page: https://company.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/EN/pages/789012/Guide"
```

#### List and search

```
"Show me available Confluence spaces"
```

```
"Find Confluence pages about authentication in the EN space"
```

### Space Key Format

| Type | Format | Example |
|------|--------|---------|
| Global space | Short key | `TEAM`, `EN`, `PROD` |
| Personal space | `~` + ID | `~712020170fdaa4716743419285f156aa587665` |

**Tip:** You can extract the space key from a Confluence URL:
```
https://company.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/TEAM/overview
                                        ^^^^ space key

https://company.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/~712020.../overview
                                        ^^^^^^^^^^ personal space key
```

## Tools

| Tool | Description |
|------|-------------|
| `upload_page` | Create a new Confluence page from Markdown |
| `update_page` | Update an existing page |
| `create_child_page` | Create a new page under an existing page |
| `sync_file` | Sync a local file to an existing page |
| `list_spaces` | List available spaces |
| `search_pages` | Search for pages |

## How It Works

```mermaid
flowchart LR
    A["Markdown"] --> B["Parse"]
    B --> C["Mermaid → kroki.io → PNG"]
    C --> D["Convert to Confluence HTML"]
    D --> E["Upload via REST API"]
    E --> F["Attach images"]
```

1. **Parse** - Extract content, remove front matter
2. **Render** - Convert Mermaid diagrams to PNG via [kroki.io](https://kroki.io)
3. **Convert** - Transform Markdown to Confluence storage format
4. **Upload** - Create/update page via Confluence REST API
5. **Attach** - Upload images as page attachments

## Environment Variables

| Variable | Required | Description |
|----------|----------|-------------|
| `CONFLUENCE_URL` | ✅ | e.g., `https://your-domain.atlassian.net/wiki` |
| `CONFLUENCE_EMAIL` | ✅ | Your Atlassian account email |
| `CONFLUENCE_TOKEN` | ✅ | API token |

## Development

TDQS

A3.7/5.0

Scored across 6 tools

Disambiguation4/5

The tools are mostly distinct with clear purposes, but there is some potential confusion between 'upload_page' and 'create_child_page' for page creation scenarios, as both involve creating pages but under different conditions. The descriptions provide explicit routing rules to mitigate this, but an agent might still need to carefully parse user intent to choose correctly.

Naming Consistency5/5

All tool names follow a consistent snake_case pattern with clear verb_noun structures (e.g., create_child_page, list_spaces, search_pages, sync_file, update_page, upload_page). This consistency makes the tool set predictable and easy to understand at a glance.

Tool Count5/5

With 6 tools, the server is well-scoped for its purpose of managing Confluence pages from Markdown files. The count is appropriate, covering key operations like listing, searching, creating, updating, and syncing without being overwhelming or too sparse.

Completeness4/5

The tool set covers essential CRUD-like operations for Confluence pages (create, update, sync, list, search), but there are minor gaps such as the lack of a delete_page tool for full lifecycle management. However, agents can likely work around this by using other methods or the existing tools for most workflows.
