What is Atlassian Confluence MCP Server?

A server that connects AI assistants (Claude, Cursor AI, and other MCP clients) directly to a Confluence knowledge base, enabling natural language queries to search, read, create, and update pages, spaces, comments, and blog posts.

How to use Atlassian Confluence MCP Server?

Install via npx (npx -y @aashari/mcp-server-atlassian-confluence) and set the required environment variables: ATLASSIAN_SITE_NAME, ATLASSIAN_USER_EMAIL, and ATLASSIAN_API_TOKEN. Configure the server in Claude Desktop’s config file (~/.claude/claude_desktop_config.json) or in another MCP‑compatible client. Alternatively, use the CLI commands (get, post, put, patch, delete) directly from the terminal.

FAQ from Atlassian Confluence MCP Server

How do I authenticate with Confluence?

Set the environment variables ATLASSIAN_SITE_NAME (your company’s subdomain), ATLASSIAN_USER_EMAIL, and ATLASSIAN_API_TOKEN. Generate an API token from your Atlassian account settings.

What tools are available?

The server provides five tools that mirror standard HTTP methods: conf_get, conf_post, conf_put, conf_patch, and conf_delete. Each accepts a path (the API endpoint), optional queryParams, a jq filter expression, and an outputFormat (TOON or JSON).

How can I reduce token costs?

By default responses are returned in the TOON format, which is more token‑efficient than JSON. You can further reduce costs by using the jq parameter to filter the response to only the fields you need.
