This server is a community-maintained, unofficial integration for Atlassian Confluence Data Center. It provides the ability to access and manage Confluence content via MCP, but users should be aware of token security and potential maintenance risks.

Why each score
Reliability 3/20
Only the manifest and README were supplied; no Confluence package source, tests, or CI workflow was provided, so the init handshake, tool list, and actual behavior cannot be verified. The manifest is well-formed and uses stdio, but reproducible execution evidence is missing; conservative score is 3.
Security and permissions 6/20
No red-line issues such as malware, credential theft, or real tokens in examples were found. The README describes macOS Keychain, mode-0600 files, and secret marking, but these are documentation claims and cannot be confirmed from source. Tool-level permissions, data boundaries, and confirmation of dangerous operations are not disclosed for the Confluence package, so points were deducted.
Maintenance 7/20
The repository is not archived, has an MIT license, and is at version 0.9.0; the README states it is community-maintained. However, no commit history, release cadence, dependency update evidence, or security-response channel was provided. Stars are treated only as a discovery signal and were not counted.
Documentation 8/20
The README covers Confluence installation, token generation, environment variables, shared config files, and Claude Desktop/Claude Code examples well. However, it lacks a Confluence tool list, parameter documentation, limits, cost notes, and troubleshooting guidance, leaving tool-level documentation absent.
Setup experience 14/20
The setup path is clear: an interactive npx setup command, non-interactive mode, Keychain/config-file storage, mainstream client JSON examples, and Windows-specific path notes are all documented. However, the static calibration cap applies because no CI or test execution evidence was verifiable, and the npm package was not actually run; score is 14.

Fit and risk

What it can accessUses the network

Best for

  • Organizations using Atlassian Confluence Data Center.
  • Teams that need AI access to internal documentation.
  • Developers looking to integrate Confluence content into automated processes.

Not for

  • Users on Confluence Cloud instead of Data Center (may work but not explicitly supported).
  • Scenarios requiring advanced permission management or audit features.
  • Production environments with high stability requirements, as this is a community-maintained project.

Required permissions

  • Requires API access to the Confluence instance, typically via a Personal Access Token.
  • Depending on token permissions, can read, create, update, or delete Confluence content.
  • Ability to make network requests to the Confluence instance's API.

Risks and side effects

  • Token leakage could lead to unauthorized access to Confluence data.
  • Community-maintained project may lack timely security updates.
  • Operational errors could inadvertently delete or modify important documents.

Setup

Before you start

Runtime:Node.js 18+

CONFLUENCE_API_TOKEN optionalsecret Confluence Personal Access Token or API token, created under Settings > Personal Access Tokens in your Confluence instance; shown only once.
Other optional settings (4)
CONFLUENCE_HOST optional Confluence host domain (e.g. your-instance.atlassian.net), no protocol; alternative to CONFLUENCE_API_BASE_PATH.
CONFLUENCE_API_BASE_PATH optional Full API base path including protocol; can be used instead of CONFLUENCE_HOST.
ATLASSIAN_DC_MCP_CONFIG_FILE optional Absolute path to a shared dotenv-style config file for reusing credentials across MCP hosts; server fails fast if set but missing.
ATLASSIAN_DC_MCP_REQUEST_TIMEOUT_MS optional Request timeout in milliseconds, default 30000; set a positive value to override.

Install via the npm package @atlassian-dc-mcp/confluence. It is recommended to run npx @atlassian-dc-mcp/confluence setup for interactive configuration, which guides you through setting host, API path, and token, and validates credentials. Alternatively, set the environment variables CONFLUENCE_HOST or CONFLUENCE_API_BASE_PATH, and CONFLUENCE_API_TOKEN in your MCP client configuration.

Check that it works

Check that the Confluence tools appear in your client's tool list, then ask it to search for a Confluence page title you know exists; a returned result proves host and token are configured correctly.

Troubleshooting

  1. Verify CONFLUENCE_HOST or CONFLUENCE_API_BASE_PATH is correct and reachable.
  2. Ensure the API token is valid and not expired.
  3. Check network connectivity to the Confluence instance.
  4. Confirm ATLASSIAN_DC_MCP_CONFIG_FILE path (if used) is absolute and exists.

Things to try

Once connected, you can ask your AI assistant things like:

  • Search my Confluence for pages about the deployment process
  • Show me the content of this Confluence page
  • Create a new Confluence page with the notes from this meeting
  • Update the body of this Confluence page

Use cases

Enable AI assistants to query and retrieve documents from Confluence.
Automate Confluence content management, such as creating, updating, or deleting pages.
Integrate Confluence knowledge base into AI workflows for information retrieval and dissemination.

Overview

This MCP server provides integration with Atlassian Confluence Data Center, enabling AI assistants to read and manipulate Confluence pages, blogs, and other content through a standardized interface. It is designed specifically for Data Center deployments and supports authentication via Personal Access Tokens.
