Tools
| Tool | Description |
|---|---|
search_pages |
Keyword search across cached pages (title 10x weight) |
get_page |
Full Markdown content by page ID (Confluence or external) |
list_pages |
Index of all cached pages (optional space_key filter) |
refresh_cache |
Force re-crawl, bypass TTL |
Crawling
The crawler walks a graph, not just a tree:
- Child pages — standard parent → children traversal
- Linked Confluence pages — any internal link in page content is followed (enables a single "hub page" linking to multiple subtrees)
- External HTTP links — fetched as Markdown (1 level deep, follows redirects only)
In-page directives
Add a [confluence-mcp] block anywhere on a Confluence page to control crawl behaviour for that subtree:
[confluence-mcp]
max_depth=3
follow_links=false
follow_external=true
| Directive | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
max_depth |
(global config) | Override crawl depth from this page down |
follow_links |
true |
Follow linked Confluence pages in content |
follow_external |
true |
Fetch external HTTP links in content |
The directive block is stripped from the Markdown output — agents never see it.
