ai-sdlc-harness-mcp
This server exposes a single MCP tool for creating Confluence Cloud pages.
create_confluence_page: creates a new Confluence page with a title, body in Confluence storage-format HTML, and a target space (by numeric ID or space key).
Supports optional page status (
currentordraft), defaulting to published.Supports optional parent page ID for hierarchical placement.
Requires
CONFLUENCE_SITE,ATLASSIAN_EMAIL, andATLASSIAN_API_TOKENenvironment variables.Built as a working alternative to Atlassian's hosted Rovo MCP
createConfluencePagetool, which returns a persistent 404.
Provides tools for creating Confluence Cloud pages via the REST API, including support for space keys or IDs, storage-format HTML, parent pages, and published or draft status.
Click on "Deploy Server".
Wait a few minutes for the server to deploy. Once ready, it will show a "Started" state.
In the chat, type
@followed by the MCP server name and your instructions, e.g., "@ai-sdlc-harness-mcp Create a draft Confluence page titled 'API Design' in the Stockbook space."
That's it! The server will respond to your query, and you can continue using it as needed.
Here is a step-by-step guide with screenshots.
ai-sdlc-harness-mcp
Integration + distribution layer for an AI-assisted SDLC harness built around the Stockbook app project.
This repo holds two halves:
mcp-server/— an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server exposing Confluence, Jira, GitHub, GitLab, Microsoft Teams and a Claude Code trigger tool — 28 tools. Usable from any MCP client (Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cowork, or any other MCP-speaking agent), not just from inside one repo.plugin/— an installable Claude Code plugin marketplace packaging the AI-SDLC harness itself (agents, commands, skills, hooks) that already runs in thestockbookapprepo, split into a framework-agnosticvnd-ai-sdlclayer and avnd-ai-sdlc-stockbook.vnd-ai-sdlcships the MCP server inside itself as a self-contained bundle, so installing the plugin — no clone, nonpm install, no build — is enough to get the whole AI-SDLC (rules, skills, commands, sub-agents, and the MCP tools) working in a fresh repo; only credentials come from your environment. It also carries a governed skill lifecycle (/skill-new→/skill-submit→/skill-approve→/skill-sync) so a skill one person writes reaches everyone else through Jira + PR review. Real-installed and verified with a live Claude Code CLI — seeplugin/README.mdfor install steps, the bugs that real install caught, and the known limitations it surfaced.

The document standard
Every phase output follows one set of conventions (C-0…C-10) in
docs/ai-sdlc/document-conventions.md,
derived by reading the organisation's own shipped documents rather than from
first principles — two real SRSs, two Product Listing pages, a PRD, and two
completed IPAM Way boards.
The rule that settles arguments: where two of those documents do the same thing differently, the Stockbook project's form wins (C-0). A silence is not a conflict — where only one document does something at all, it is an addition, kept and labelled with its source.
python3 docs/ai-sdlc/check-conventions.py enforces the conventions
mechanically and exits non-zero on failure. It is scaffolded into consuming
repos by /harness-init, and it exists because this framework insists on
machine-checkable DoDs and, for a while, had none of its own.

What "built but not live-tested" means here
Three integrations are complete, build clean, and pass unit and stdio
JSON-RPC tests, but have never made a real call — every one of their hosts
(gitlab.com, gitlab-new.vndirect.com.vn, ipas-tech.atlassian.net,
powerplatform.com) is refused by this environment's egress allowlist,
which permits github.com. That is why GitHub is the one platform with a
genuine end-to-end verification behind it.
So the request/response shapes are exercised against stubs, not against the
real APIs. The places where those APIs differ in ways a naive port gets
wrong — GitLab addressing projects by URL-encoded path, having no draft flag,
replacing rather than appending reviewer lists, taking numeric user ids
instead of usernames; Confluence requiring version current + 1 on every
update — are handled explicitly and covered by
mcp-server/unit-test.mjs. What is not covered is whether the endpoints
behave as documented. Run npm test in mcp-server/, then make one real
call per platform from a machine with network access before trusting them.
See mcp-server/README.md for the tool reference and setup instructions.
What "built but not yet run" means for the upstream stages
Stages A, B and C are complete specifications with working commands, a template per artefact, and DoDs the commands enforce. What has not happened is a single real feature going A → G4 through them. Until that run exists, treat the upstream half as a well-specified system that has never met a deadline, a stakeholder who will not answer, or a document someone refuses to sign.
Why this exists
The Confluence create_confluence_page tool was built first, specifically
because Atlassian's own hosted Rovo MCP server's createConfluencePage
route returns a persistent 404 (see mcp-server/README.md for the full
diagnosis). Jira, GitLab, GitHub and Teams tools extend the same server
into a general integration layer for the harness, and the planned plugin/
half makes the whole harness — not just the integrations — installable in
one step in any frontend repo.

Scored across 1 tool
With only a single tool, there is no possibility of confusing it with another tool. The purpose is clearly described as creating a Confluence page.
The tool name follows a clear verb_noun pattern (create_confluence_page), which is consistent and readable. As a single tool, there are no naming inconsistencies.
The server name suggests a broad SDLC harness, but only one narrow Confluence creation tool is provided. This is far too few tools for the implied scope, making it feel like an extreme under-delivery.
The domain implied by 'ai-sdlc-harness-mcp' would require far more operations such as issue tracking, code review, CI/CD integration, and documentation management. With only a single page-creation tool, the vast majority of expected functionality is missing.
