Lightweight MCP server that crawls Confluence subtrees and serves cached Markdown. Works with Claude Code and nanobot (Slack) via stdio.

Nanobot config

[mcp.confluence]
command = "uvx"
args = ["--from", "git+https://github.com/bonkey/confluence-mini-mcp", "confluence-mini-mcp"]
env = { CONFLUENCE_BASE_URL = "https://company.atlassian.net/wiki", CONFLUENCE_EMAIL = "[email protected]", CONFLUENCE_API_TOKEN = "...", CONFLUENCE_ROOT_PAGE_IDS = "123456,789012" }

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.

Configuration

All settings via env vars or confluence-mini-mcp.toml:

Env var Description Default
CONFLUENCE_BASE_URL Wiki base URL required
CONFLUENCE_EMAIL Atlassian email required
CONFLUENCE_API_TOKEN API token required
CONFLUENCE_ROOT_PAGE_IDS Comma-separated root page IDs required
CONFLUENCE_CACHE_DIR Cache directory ~/.cache/confluence-subtree-mcp
CONFLUENCE_CACHE_TTL_MINUTES Cache max age 30
CONFLUENCE_MAX_DEPTH Max crawl depth 10
CONFLUENCE_MAX_PAGES Max pages to crawl 500
CONFLUENCE_REFRESH_INTERVAL Background refresh interval (0=off) 5
CONFLUENCE_DRY_RUN Fake cache mode, no API calls false

Development

just dev     # run in dry-run mode
just check   # format + test
just release # tag + push

All tasks in the Justfile. Requires uv and just.
