No local setup required! #### For Claude Desktop Add this configuration to your Claude Desktop MCP settings: ```json { "mcpServers": { "Confluence Tools": { "command": "bunx", "args": ["-y", "@dsazz/mcp-confluence@latest"], "env": { "CONFLUENCE_HOST_URL": "https://your-domain.atlassian.net", "CONFLUENCE_USER_EMAIL": "your-email@example.com", "CONFLUENCE_API_TOKEN": "your-confluence-api-token" } } } } ``` #### For Cursor IDE Add this configuration to your Cursor IDE MCP settings: ```json { "mcpServers": { "Confluence Tools": { "command": "bunx", "args": ["-y", "@dsazz/mcp-confluence@latest"], "env": { "CONFLUENCE_HOST_URL": "https://your-domain.atlassian.net", "CONFLUENCE_USER_EMAIL": "your-email@example.com", "CONFLUENCE_API_TOKEN": "your-confluence-api-token" } } } } ``` #### For Any MCP Client Use this configuration pattern for any MCP-compatible client: ```json { "mcpServers": { "Confluence Tools": { "command": "bunx", "args": ["-y", "@dsazz/mcp-confluence@latest"], "env": { "CONFLUENCE_HOST_URL": "https://your-domain.atlassian.net", "CONFLUENCE_USER_EMAIL": "your-email@example.com", "CONFLUENCE_API_TOKEN": "your-confluence-api-token" } } } } ``` > **🔑 Getting Your Confluence API Token** > > 1. Go to [Atlassian API Tokens](https://id.atlassian.com/manage-profile/security/api-tokens) > 2. Click "Create API token" > 3. Give it a name (e.g., "MCP Confluence") > 4. Copy the token and use it in your configuration > 5. **Important**: Use the token exactly as provided (no quotes needed in the env section) ### Alternative: Using npx instead of bunx If you prefer npx over bunx, you can also use: ```json { "mcpServers": { "Confluence Tools": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@dsazz/mcp-confluence@latest"], "env": { "CONFLUENCE_HOST_URL": "https://your-domain.atlassian.net", "CONFLUENCE_USER_EMAIL": "your-email@example.com", "CONFLUENCE_API_TOKEN": "your-confluence-api-token" } } } } ``` ### Testing Your Setup After adding the configuration: 1. Restart your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, etc.) 2. Try this command to test the connection: ``` Show me my Confluence spaces. ``` That's it! You're ready to use Confluence directly from your MCP client. --- ## 🛠️ Development Setup

### Development Installation For development or customization: ```bash # Clone the repository git clone https://github.com/Dsazz/mcp-confluence.git cd mcp-confluence # Install dependencies bun install # Build the project bun run build # Set up environment variables cp .env.example .env # Edit .env with your Confluence credentials ``` ### Configuration Create a `.env` file with the following variables: ```ini CONFLUENCE_HOST_URL=https://your-domain.atlassian.net CONFLUENCE_USER_EMAIL=your-email@example.com CONFLUENCE_API_TOKEN=your-confluence-api-token NODE_ENV=development ``` ### Development Tools #### Code Quality Tools The project uses [Biome](https://biomejs.dev/) for code formatting and linting, replacing the previous ESLint setup. Biome provides: - Fast, unified formatting and linting - TypeScript-first tooling - Zero configuration needed - Consistent code style enforcement To format and lint your code: ```bash # Format code bun format # Check code for issues bun check # Type check bun typecheck ``` #### MCP Inspector The MCP Inspector is a powerful tool for testing and debugging your MCP server. ```bash # Run the inspector (no separate build step needed) bun run inspect ``` The inspector automatically: - Loads environment variables from `.env` - Cleans up occupied ports (5175, 3002) - Builds the project when needed - Starts the MCP server with your configuration - Launches the inspector UI Visit the inspector at http://localhost:5175?proxyPort=3002 The inspector UI allows you to: - View all available MCP capabilities - Execute tools and examine responses - Analyze the JSON communication - Test with different parameters For more details, see the [MCP Inspector GitHub repository](https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/inspector).

**V1 Client** (`http-client-v1.impl.ts`): Handles search operations and CQL queries - **V2 Client** (`http-client-v2.impl.ts`): Manages CRUD operations for spaces and pages - **Operation Router** (`operation.router.ts`): Intelligently routes requests to the appropriate API version - **Factory Pattern** (`http-client.factory.ts`): Provides clean dependency injection for clients This architecture ensures: - **Optimal Performance**: Each operation uses the most suitable API version - **Future Compatibility**: Easy to add new API versions or deprecate old ones - **Clean Separation**: Clear boundaries between different API capabilities - **Type Safety**: Full TypeScript support across all client implementations ### NPM Scripts | Command | Description | | --------------- | -------------------------------------------------- | | `bun dev` | Run the server in development mode with hot reload | | `bun build` | Build the project for production | | `bun start` | Start the production server | | `bun format` | Format code using Biome | | `bun lint` | Lint code using Biome | | `bun check` | Run Biome checks on code | | `bun typecheck` | Run TypeScript type checking | | `bun test` | Run tests | | `bun inspect` | Start the MCP Inspector for debugging | ## 🔧 Troubleshooting ### NPM Installation Issues #### Package Not Found If you get a "package not found" error: ```bash # Make sure you're using the correct scoped package name bunx @dsazz/mcp-confluence@latest # Or try with explicit npm registry npm install -g @dsazz/mcp-confluence --registry https://registry.npmjs.org ``` #### Environment Variables Not Found If the server fails to start with environment variable errors: 1. **For bunx usage**: Create a `.env` file in your working directory: ```bash # Create .env file in your current directory echo "CONFLUENCE_HOST_URL=https://your-domain.atlassian.net" > .env echo "CONFLUENCE_USER_EMAIL=your-email@example.com" >> .env echo "CONFLUENCE_API_TOKEN=your-api-token" >> .env ``` 2. **For MCP configuration**: Set environment variables in your MCP config: ```json { "mcpServers": { "Confluence Tools": { "command": "bunx", "args": ["-y", "@dsazz/mcp-confluence@latest"], "env": { "CONFLUENCE_HOST_URL": "https://your-domain.atlassian.net", "CONFLUENCE_USER_EMAIL": "your-email@example.com", "CONFLUENCE_API_TOKEN": "your-api-token" } } } } ``` ### API Connection Issues #### Invalid Credentials - Verify your Confluence API token is correct - Ensure your email matches your Atlassian account - Check that your Confluence URL is correct (include https://) #### Network/Firewall Issues - Ensure your network allows connections to your Confluence instance - Check if your organization requires VPN access - Verify firewall settings allow outbound HTTPS connections ### Development Issues #### Build Failures ```bash # Clear dependencies and reinstall rm -rf node_modules bun.lockb bun install # Clean build rm -rf dist bun run build ``` #### TypeScript Errors ```bash # Run type checking bun run typecheck # Check for linting issues bun run check ``` ## 📝 Contributing We welcome contributions!
