Confluence Http Api

Read-only MCP server for self-hosted Confluence (Server / Data Center) over the REST API.

Primary use case: let an AI agent read project documentation — search pages, fetch content, navigate page trees.

Requirements

• Node.js 18+
• Confluence base URL and a Personal Access Token with read access to the relevant spaces

Configuration

Variable	Required	Description
CONFLUENCE_URL	Yes	Base URL, e.g. https://wiki.it-aces.com
CONFLUENCE_TOKEN	Yes	PAT sent as Authorization: Bearer …

Alias: CONFLUENCE_PAT.

Tools (read-only)

Tool	Purpose
confluence_search	CQL search (space=GAR AND type=page, text ~ "API")
confluence_get_page	Page by content id + plain-text body
confluence_get_page_by_title	Page by space key + exact title
confluence_list_spaces	Discover spaces
confluence_get_page_children	Child pages (doc tree / TOC)

Page bodies are returned as plain text (HTML/storage markup stripped) for easier agent consumption.

Install

From source (GitLab / GitHub)

git clone [email protected]:ai/confluence-http-api-mcp.git
cd confluence-http-api-mcp
npm install

From npm

npm install confluence-http-api-mcp

Or globally (for npx / CLI usage):

npm install -g confluence-http-api-mcp

Usage

Standalone (stdio)

export CONFLUENCE_URL="https://wiki.it-aces.com"
export CONFLUENCE_TOKEN="..."
node server.mjs

Cursor / MCP host

Add the server to your MCP config (for example .cursor/mcp.json → mcpServers).

Option 1: Local clone

"confluence": {
  "command": "node",
  "args": ["/absolute/path/to/confluence-http-api-mcp/server.mjs"],
  "env": {
    "CONFLUENCE_URL": "https://wiki.it-aces.com",
    "CONFLUENCE_TOKEN": "..."
  }
}

Option 2: npm / npx

If installed globally:

"confluence": {
  "command": "confluence-http-api-mcp",
  "env": {
    "CONFLUENCE_URL": "https://wiki.it-aces.com",
    "CONFLUENCE_TOKEN": "..."
  }
}

Or via npx (рекомендуется для автоподтягивания новых версий):

"confluence": {
  "command": "npx",
  "args": ["--yes", "--prefer-online", "confluence-http-api-mcp@latest"],
  "env": {
    "CONFLUENCE_URL": "https://wiki.it-aces.com",
    "CONFLUENCE_TOKEN": "..."
  }
}

Or via wrapper + secrets file (see ~/.config/ai-mcp pattern used for GitLab/YouTrack).

Typical agent workflow

1. confluence_list_spaces — find space key (e.g. GAR)
2. confluence_search with space=GAR AND title ~ "Architecture"
3. confluence_get_page — read full page text
4. confluence_get_page_children — walk documentation hierarchy
