Tools

Tool	Description
manage_confluence_page	Get, create, update, delete, move, copy, or pull pages for editing
edit_confluence_content	Structural block editing within a tracked session — patch sections, append, replace, find/replace, sync
manage_confluence_space	List spaces, get space details, or manage space configuration
search_confluence	Search using CQL, full-text, labels, or contributors
manage_confluence_media	Upload, download, list, or delete page attachments
navigate_confluence	Traverse page hierarchy, discover backlinks (via GraphQL), forward links, and related pages
queue_confluence_operations	Batch multiple operations with result references ($0.pageId) and error strategies

Each tool accepts an operation parameter (except queue_confluence_operations which takes an operations array). Per-tool documentation is available as MCP resources at confluence://tools/{tool_name}/documentation.

Key Features

Session-based editing — Pull a page into a tracked session, make surgical edits to individual blocks (sections, paragraphs, macros, tables), then sync only what changed. No full-page rewrites.

Native macro support — Status badges, info/warning/error panels, expand blocks, and table of contents render as readable :::directive syntax. The server handles ADF serialization with correct native node types.

GraphQL navigation — Backlinks and forward links use the Atlassian GraphQL gateway's link graph for accurate, fast relationship discovery. Falls back to REST when GraphQL is unavailable.

Rendering facades — Every response is token-efficient markdown with context-aware next-step hints. No raw JSON.
