Confluence Documentation

Read and write Confluence pages and spaces from your AI coding agent for team documentation.

Claude Code Cursor

Overview

Confluence is Atlassian's team workspace for documentation and knowledge management. The MCP server integration allows AI coding agents to search, read, create, and update Confluence pages directly from the development environment.

Agents can create technical documentation, update architecture decision records, maintain runbooks, and search existing knowledge base articles. This keeps documentation in sync with code changes and reduces the friction of maintaining separate documentation.

The integration supports Confluence's rich content format including tables, code blocks, macros, and page hierarchies. Teams can automate documentation updates as part of their development workflow, ensuring that technical docs always reflect the current state of the codebase.
