Quick Start

Get up and running in 2 minutes:

1. Get Your Confluence Credentials

Generate a Confluence API Token:

1. Go to Atlassian API Tokens
2. Click Create API token
3. Give it a name like "AI Assistant"
4. Copy the generated token immediately (you won't see it again!)

2. Try It Instantly

# Set your credentials
export ATLASSIAN_SITE_NAME="your-company"  # for your-company.atlassian.net
export ATLASSIAN_USER_EMAIL="your.email@company.com"
export ATLASSIAN_API_TOKEN="your_api_token"

# List your Confluence spaces (TOON format by default)
npx -y @aashari/mcp-server-atlassian-confluence get --path "/wiki/api/v2/spaces"

# Get details about a specific space with field filtering
npx -y @aashari/mcp-server-atlassian-confluence get \
  --path "/wiki/api/v2/spaces/123456" \
  --jq "{id: id, key: key, name: name, type: type}"

# Get a page with JMESPath filtering
npx -y @aashari/mcp-server-atlassian-confluence get \
  --path "/wiki/api/v2/pages/789" \
  --jq "{id: id, title: title, status: status}"

# Search for pages (using CQL)
npx -y @aashari/mcp-server-atlassian-confluence get \
  --path "/wiki/rest/api/search" \
  --query-params '{"cql": "type=page AND space=DEV"}'

Connect to AI Assistants

For Claude Desktop Users

Add this to your Claude configuration file (~/.claude/claude_desktop_config.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "confluence": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@aashari/mcp-server-atlassian-confluence"],
      "env": {
        "ATLASSIAN_SITE_NAME": "your-company",
        "ATLASSIAN_USER_EMAIL": "your.email@company.com",
        "ATLASSIAN_API_TOKEN": "your_api_token"
      }
    }
  }
}

Restart Claude Desktop, and you'll see the confluence server in the status bar.

For Other AI Assistants

Most AI assistants support MCP (Cursor AI, Continue.dev, and others). Install the server globally:

npm install -g @aashari/mcp-server-atlassian-confluence

Then configure your AI assistant to use the MCP server with STDIO transport. The binary is available as mcp-atlassian-confluence after global installation.

Alternative: Configuration File

Create ~/.mcp/configs.json for system-wide configuration:

{
  "confluence": {
    "environments": {
      "ATLASSIAN_SITE_NAME": "your-company",
      "ATLASSIAN_USER_EMAIL": "your.email@company.com",
      "ATLASSIAN_API_TOKEN": "your_api_token"
    }
  }
}

Alternative config keys: The system also accepts "atlassian-confluence", `"
