How to Set Up and Use Atlassian Confluence
The Atlassian Confluence MCP server is a Node.js/TypeScript server that gives AI assistants direct access to your Confluence knowledge base via the official Confluence REST API. It exposes five generic HTTP-method tools (GET, POST, PUT, PATCH, DELETE) that map to any Confluence API endpoint, enabling LLMs to list spaces, read pages as Markdown, search with CQL, and create or update content. Developers and teams use it to let Claude or other AI clients query internal documentation, generate summaries, and keep Confluence pages up to date without leaving their AI workflow.
Prerequisites
- Node.js 18 or later installed
- An Atlassian Cloud account with a Confluence site (e.g. mycompany.atlassian.net)
- An Atlassian API token generated from https://id.atlassian.com/manage-profile/security/api-tokens
- An MCP-compatible client such as Claude Desktop or Claude Code
Generate an Atlassian API token
Log in to your Atlassian account, go to Account Settings → Security → API Tokens, and create a new token. Copy the token value — it is shown only once.
Set the required environment variables
Export the three required variables in your shell or add them to a .env file. ATLASSIAN_SITE_NAME is the subdomain of your Atlassian instance, ATLASSIAN_USER_EMAIL is your login email, and ATLASSIAN_API_TOKEN is the token you just created.
export ATLASSIAN_SITE_NAME=mycompany
export [email protected]
export ATLASSIAN_API_TOKEN=your_api_token_hereTest the server from the command line
Run a quick test using npx to list all Confluence spaces and verify your credentials work.
npx -y @aashari/mcp-server-atlassian-confluence get --path "/wiki/api/v2/spaces"Add the server to your MCP client configuration
Open your claude_desktop_config.json and add the server entry with the three environment variables so Claude Desktop loads it automatically on startup.
{
"mcpServers": {
"confluence": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@aashari/mcp-server-atlassian-confluence"],
"env": {
"ATLASSIAN_SITE_NAME": "mycompany",
"ATLASSIAN_USER_EMAIL": "[email protected]",
"ATLASSIAN_API_TOKEN": "your_api_token_here"
}
}
}
}Restart your MCP client
Restart Claude Desktop (or your chosen MCP client) so it picks up the new server configuration. The Confluence tools will appear as conf_get, conf_post, conf_put, conf_patch, and conf_delete.

}Prompts to try
Example prompts that exercise the Confluence tools once the server is connected.
- "List all Confluence spaces in our instance and summarize what each one covers."
- "Search Confluence for pages mentioning 'onboarding' using CQL and show me the titles and URLs."
- "Fetch the content of the page at /wiki/api/v2/pages/12345 and summarize the key points."
- "Create a new Confluence page titled 'Q3 Retrospective' in space DEV with a bullet-point template."
- "Find all pages updated in the last 7 days in the ENGINEERING space."Troubleshooting Atlassian Confluence
401 Unauthorized errors when calling Confluence API endpoints
Verify that ATLASSIAN_USER_EMAIL matches the email on your Atlassian account exactly, and that ATLASSIAN_API_TOKEN is valid. API tokens expire if revoked; generate a new one at https://id.atlassian.com/manage-profile/security/api-tokens.
ATLASSIAN_SITE_NAME is incorrect and the server cannot resolve the host
The ATLASSIAN_SITE_NAME should be only the subdomain portion (e.g. 'mycompany', not 'mycompany.atlassian.net'). Double-check the value in your environment or config file.
npx command not found or server fails to start
Ensure Node.js 18+ is installed and npx is available on your PATH. Run 'node --version' to confirm. If using Claude Desktop on macOS, you may need to set the full path to npx in the 'command' field.
