📄 Confluence MCP Server

The first MCP server that connects your AI assistant directly to Confluence — search docs, read pages, create and update content without switching tabs.

About this MCP Server: To understand how to connect to and use this MCP server, please refer to the official Model Context Protocol documentation at mcp.apify.com ↗.

🎯 Why This Exists

Confluence is where your team's knowledge lives — architecture decisions, runbooks, onboarding guides, API docs. But accessing it during a coding or planning session means another tab, another search, another context switch.

The Confluence MCP Server eliminates this. Ask your AI assistant to find the authentication architecture doc, summarize the onboarding guide, or create a new page for your sprint retrospective — all without leaving your chat.

The Documentation Gap in AI Tooling

Tool	MCP Available?	Hosted on Apify?
Confluence	✅ This Actor	✅
Notion	Partial	❌
GitBook	❌	❌
Coda	❌	❌

Confluence has over 60,000 organizations using it — and this is the first hosted, serverless MCP server for it on the Apify Store.

⚡ What It Does

The Confluence MCP Server runs as an Apify Actor in standby mode, exposing 8 tools to any MCP-compatible AI assistant. It connects to your Confluence Cloud workspace using the same API credentials as your Jira account (Atlassian API token).

🛠️ Available Tools

Tool	Description
get_spaces	List all Confluence spaces the user has access to
get_space_info	Get detailed info about a specific space
search_pages	Search using CQL (Confluence Query Language) — find pages by keyword, space, or author
get_page	Read the full content of a page, including its body text and version
get_child_pages	List child pages under a parent page
create_page	Create a new page in any space, optionally nested under a parent
update_page	Update the content and title of an existing page
add_comment	Add a footer comment to a page

🌳 When to Use Which Tool

Exploring the wiki?
└── get_spaces → get_space_info → search_pages

Reading documentation?
├── search_pages (CQL: "type=page AND text~\"keyword\"")
├── get_page (read full content by page ID)
└── get_child_pages (navigate hierarchy)

Taking action?
├── New doc      → create_page (needs spaceId from get_spaces)
├── Update doc   → update_page (needs currentVersion from get_page)
└── Leave a note → add_comment

💡 Who Is This For?

👨‍💻 Developers Using Cursor, Windsurf, or VS Code

"Show me the API authentication architecture doc."

Ask your coding assistant to pull up architecture decisions, runbooks, or API specs from Confluence — without leaving your IDE.

🤖 Claude Desktop Users

"Summarize our onboarding guide and create a checklist from it."

Have Claude read your onboarding documentation and restructure it into a more useful format, then save it back as a new Confluence page.

📋 Product Managers & Technical Writers

"Create a sprint retrospective page in the Team space."

Let your AI assistant draft and create meeting notes, sprint retrospectives, or design docs directly in Confluence.

🧠 AI Automation Builders

"Search for all pages tagged with 'incident' and summarize them."

Use this Actor as the Confluence knowledge retrieval node in your AI agent or automation pipeline.

    confluenceEmail: 'your@email.com',
    confluenceApiToken: 'your-api-token',
});

Python

from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient('YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN')

run = client.actor('scraper_guru/confluence-mcp-server').start(
    run_input={
        'confluenceDomain': 'your-site.atlassian.net',
        'confluenceEmail': 'your@email.com',
