Best for
  • Developers who need quick access to technical documentation and API guides
  • Product managers searching for requirements, specs, and project updates
  • HR teams accessing policy documents and employee resources quickly
  • Support teams finding troubleshooting guides and knowledge base articles
  • Anyone who wants to interact with Confluence using natural language
  • Developers, content creators, and project teams using Atlassian Cloud
  • Teams that want Atlassian access inside ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, or VS Code
  • Users who need natural-language search, write, and cross-product workflows
Not for
  • Users on Confluence Server or Data Center (on-premise), as this tool supports only Confluence Cloud.
  • Legacy users expecting specific domain tools (like conf_ls_spaces), but v3.0 migrated to generic HTTP method tools.
  • Users without an Atlassian Cloud site or relevant product permissions
  • Deployments requiring a self-hosted MCP server
  • Users unwilling to grant an AI client access to Atlassian data or actions
  • Jira Service Management or Bitbucket Cloud workflows requiring OAuth authentication
Required permissions
  • Requires an Atlassian account with access to Confluence and the spaces you want to query.
  • Requires an API token (permissions granted automatically upon creation).
  • The server uses your own credentials and runs locally.
  • Jira and Confluence provide read, write, and search permission groups
  • Jira Service Management provides read and write access through API tokens only
  • Bitbucket Cloud provides read and write access through scoped API tokens only
  • Compass is available through OAuth 2.1 only
  • The first OAuth installer for a site must have access to the Atlassian apps requested by the MCP scopes
  • Organization administrators can manage domain controls, API-token authentication, app access, and audit logs
Risks and side effects
  • Token leakage risk: If your API token is compromised, others may access your Confluence data. Store it securely.
  • Data access scope: AI assistants can read and modify all content you have permission to access, including create, update, delete.
  • Large responses can lead to high token costs: always use jq filtering and limit parameters to avoid unexpected costs.
  • Response truncation: Responses exceeding ~40,000 characters are truncated, and the full raw data is saved to a temporary file.
  • AI clients can perform Jira, Confluence, Jira Service Management, Bitbucket, and Compass actions on the user’s behalf
  • Prompt injection, indirect prompt injection, and tool-poisoning attacks may cause data exfiltration or unintended changes
  • Use least privilege, scoped tokens, and minimal project or workspace access
  • Require human confirmation for high-impact or destructive actions and monitor audit logs
