Confluence MCP Server

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.

Features

This MCP server provides the following operations for Confluence:

• Execute CQL (Confluence Query Language) searches
• Get page content by ID
• Get page content with body
• Find pages by space key
• Find page by title and space key
• Create new pages (with optional parent page)
• Update existing pages
• Delete pages

Installation

1. Clone this repository
2. Install dependencies:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Configuration

Create a .env file in the project root with the following variables:

CONFLUENCE_API_BASE=http://localhost:8090/rest/api
CONFLUENCE_USERNAME=your_username
CONFLUENCE_PASSWORD=your_password

Adjust the values to match your Confluence instance.

Running the Server

Development Mode (Recommended)

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:

mcp dev confluence.py

This will start the MCP Inspector at http://127.0.0.1:6274 by default.

Direct Execution (Not Recommended)

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:

python confluence.py

However, this mode has limited functionality and is only intended for basic testing.

Installing in Claude Desktop

To install the server in Claude Desktop:

mcp install confluence.py
