Quick Start
Get up and running in 2 minutes:
1. Get Your Confluence Credentials
Generate a Confluence API Token:
1. Go to Atlassian API Tokens
2. Click **Create API token**
3. Give it a name like **"AI Assistant"**
4. **Copy the generated token** immediately (you won't see it again!)
2. Try It Instantly
Connect to AI Assistants
For Claude Desktop Users
Add this to your Claude configuration file (~/.claude/claude_desktop_config.json):
Restart Claude Desktop, and you'll see the confluence server in the status bar.
For Other AI Assistants
Most AI assistants support MCP (Cursor AI, Continue.dev, and others). Install the server globally:
Then configure your AI assistant to use the MCP server with STDIO transport. The binary is available as mcp-atlassian-confluence after global installation.
Alternative: Configuration File
Create ~/.mcp/configs.json for system-wide configuration:
**Alternative config keys:** The system also accepts "atlassian-confluence", "@aashari/mcp-server-atlassian-confluence", or "mcp-server-atlassian-confluence" instead of "confluence".
