Hosted MCP Server for Atlassian Confluence

The Confluence MCP server is the right choice when you need agents to operate on wiki content — pages, spaces, release notes, runbooks, meeting notes and knowledge-base articles. For tickets, sprints, or agile boards, use the Atlassian Jira MCP server instead — it targets the issue tracker rather than wiki pages.

Connect MCP Server to Client

Configure the MCP Client

1. Access Connect Tab: Navigate to the “Connect” tab in your MCP Server configuration.
2. Choose Client: Select your preferred MCP client:
   • FlowHunt AI Agent (recommended)

Security Considerations

🔒 Important: Treat your MCP server URL as a password. It provides direct access to your Confluence data and server tools. Never share it publicly or commit it to version control.

4. Test the Connection: Verify functionality by running a test query, such as searching pages or retrieving page details.

Conclusion

The Confluence MCP Server is purpose-built for agentic automation over your wiki and knowledge base — page search, create/update operations, release-notes generation, meeting-notes capture, and routine docs maintenance. If you also want agents to act on tickets, sprints and agile boards in the same Atlassian Cloud, pair it with the Atlassian Jira hosted MCP server — it targets the issue tracker rather than pages and spaces.

Start with one automation — agent-generated weekly engineering updates, runbook drafting from Slack threads, or release notes built from Jira tickets — then expand. Ready to get started? Connect Confluence to FlowHunt today and put AI in charge of your wiki content.
