## About

# Confluence MCP Server

[](https://github.com/pankaj28843/confluence-mcp-server/actions/workflows/ci.yml)

An [MCP (Model Context Protocol)](https://modelcontextprotocol.io) server that connects AI assistants to your Confluence instance. It exposes two tools — **search** and **fetch** — letting any MCP-compatible client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.) query and read Confluence pages in real time.

## Features

- 🔍 **Fuzzy search** — splits multi-word queries into parallel CQL searches and merges results by relevance
- 📄 **Full page hydration** — retrieves storage body, version info, labels, and ancestors as clean Markdown
- ⚡ **Disk cache** — search and content responses are cached locally to reduce API load
- 🔒 **Read-only** — all tools are annotated `readOnlyHint: true`; nothing is ever written to Confluence
- 🐳 **Docker-ready** — one-command deployment via `deploy_confluence_mcp.py`

---

## Prerequisites

- Python 3.11+ and [uv](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/) **or** Docker
- A Confluence instance accessible over HTTP(S)
- A [Confluence Personal Access Token](https://confluence.atlassian.com/enterprise/using-personal-access-tokens-1026032365.html)

---

## Quickstart

### 1. Configure credentials

```bash
cp .env.example .env
```

Edit `.env`:

```env
CONFLUENCE_URL=https://confluence.example.com
CONFLUENCE_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN=your_token_here
```

### 2a. Run with uv (stdio — for Claude Desktop / Cursor)

```bash
uv sync
uv run python -m confluence_search.fastmcp_app
```

### 2b. Run with Docker (HTTP)

```bash
python deploy_confluence_mcp.py          # builds image + starts container on :43043
```

Or manually:

```bash
docker build -t confluence-mcp-server .
docker run -d --name confluence-mcp-server \
  --env-file .env \
  -p 43043:43043 \
  confluence-mcp-server
```

## Connecting an MCP client

### Claude Desktop

Add to `~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json`:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "confluence": {
      "command": "uv",
      "args": ["run", "python", "-m", "confluence_search.fastmcp_app"],
      "cwd": "/path/to/confluence-mcp-server",
      "env": {
        "CONFLUENCE_URL": "https://confluence.example.com",
        "CONFLUENCE_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN": "your_token_here"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

### Cursor / Windsurf (HTTP transport)

Point your MCP client at `http://127.0.0.1:43043/mcp` after starting the Docker container.
