Setup
Setup guide
- 11. In Switchy, open your workspace settings and navigate to the Integrations tab. 2. Find Confluence in the MCP directory and click Connect. 3. You'll be redirected to Atlassian's OAuth consent screen — sign in with an account that has permission to create spaces and pages. 4. Grant the requested scopes: read and write access to Confluence content, spaces, and labels. 5. After authorization, Switchy redirects you back and confirms the connection is live. 6. Open any Space in Switchy and type '@Confluence list spaces' to verify the MCP responds with your Confluence spaces. 7. To create a page, @mention Confluence and specify the space key, page title, and body content in your prompt. 8. Check your Confluence instance to confirm the page appears with the correct metadata and labels.
What teammates see: by default, memories from Confluence are scoped to the Space (PROJECT visibility) - you can mark any memory PRIVATE or share it ORG-wide.

Example outputs
Illustrative - representative of the model's voice and quality, not literal recordings.
@Confluence search for all pages labeled 'product-roadmap' in the Engineering space and list their titles with last-modified dates
Found 7 pages in the Engineering space with the 'product-roadmap' label: 1. Q1 2024 Feature Priorities (last modified: Jan 15, 2024) 2. API v3 Migration Plan (last modified: Jan 12, 2024) 3. Mobile App Roadmap (last modified: Jan 8, 2024) 4. Infrastructure Upgrades (last modified: Dec 20, 2023) 5. Customer Feedback Integration (last modified: Dec 18, 2023) 6. Security Audit Findings (last modified: Dec 10, 2023) 7. Q4 2023 Retrospective (last modified: Dec 5, 2023) This is an illustrative example showing how search results might appear. Actual results depend on your Confluence instance's content and label usage.
This example demonstrates read-only search and filtering capabilities. Requires OAuth scope to read space content. Label-based searches work best when your team consistently tags documentation — inconsistent labeling will return incomplete results. No side effects; this is a safe exploratory query.
@Confluence create a new page in the Product space titled 'Launch Checklist - Mobile v2.0' with sections for QA sign-off, marketing assets, and support documentation
Created page 'Launch Checklist - Mobile v2.0' in the Product space (page ID: 98765432). The page includes three sections: - QA Sign-off: Placeholder for test results and approval - Marketing Assets: Space for campaign materials and messaging - Support Documentation: Area for help articles and FAQs Page URL: https://yourcompany.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/PRODUCT/pages/98765432 This illustrative example shows the structure created. You can now edit the page directly in Confluence or use additional @Confluence commands to populate sections.
This example shows content creation with structured sections. Requires OAuth write permissions for the target space. The MCP creates basic page structure — you'll need to add detailed content through follow-up edits or manual work in Confluence. Be aware that creating pages in high-traffic spaces may trigger notifications to watchers.
@Confluence pull all pages modified in the last 7 days across our Sales and Marketing spaces, then summarize the main themes and any conflicting information about our Q1 pricing strategy
Retrieved 14 pages modified in the last 7 days. After analysis: **Main themes:** - Q1 pricing adjustments for Enterprise tier (mentioned in 6 pages) - New discount structure for annual contracts (4 pages) - Competitive positioning against Vendor X (3 pages) **Conflicting information identified:** The Sales Playbook (modified Jan 14) lists Enterprise tier at $499/seat, while the Marketing FAQ (modified Jan 16) shows $549/seat. The Pricing Strategy Overview (modified Jan 13) mentions a 15% annual discount, but the Sales Email Templates (modified Jan 15) reference 20%. This illustrative example shows how cross-space synthesis might surface inconsistencies in your documentation.
This example pairs Confluence's multi-space search with AI reasoning to identify documentation drift. Requires read access to multiple spaces. The synthesis quality depends on how clearly your team writes — vague or outdated pages will produce less reliable conflict detection. Use this to audit cross-functional alignment, not as a source of truth for customer-facing numbers.
Use-case deep-dives
When Confluence MCP turns Slack threads into runbooks
A 6-person support team fields the same setup questions weekly. They want an AI to draft Confluence pages from resolved Slack threads so new hires stop asking veterans. This MCP is the right call if your team already lives in Confluence and OAuth2 setup isn't a blocker. The Create Page tool handles the write, Add Content Label tags it for search, and the 50-tool scope means you can also query existing pages to avoid duplicates. The trade-off: if your docs live in Notion or GitHub wikis instead, you're adding auth overhead for a tool your team doesn't use. Buy this when Confluence is already your single source of truth and you need AI to keep it current without manual copy-paste.
Confluence MCP for recurring team ritual documentation
A product team runs biweekly retros in Miro, then someone manually transcribes action items into Confluence. They want the AI to auto-publish a formatted blogpost after each session. This MCP works if you're comfortable with OAuth2 and your Confluence instance isn't locked down by IT. Create Blogpost handles the write, Create Space Property can tag the retro series for rollup views, and the 50-tool count suggests you can also read prior retros to spot patterns. The boundary: if your retros are under 10 people and informal, a shared Google Doc is faster than Confluence's permission model. Use this when your team is big enough that discoverability and structure matter more than speed.
When Confluence MCP bridges CRM data and public content
A 4-person customer success team wants to draft case studies by pulling win data from Salesforce and publishing polished pages in a public Confluence space. This MCP is borderline. Create Page and Create Space let you structure the output, but the 50 tools are overkill if you're only writing, not reading or searching. The real win is pairing this with a CRM MCP so the AI can draft from live deal notes, then publish without a human shuttling data between tools. The threshold: if your case studies need legal review before publish, Confluence's draft workflow is clunky compared to a Google Doc approval chain. Buy this when your go-to-market team already uses Confluence for collateral and you want one AI workspace to span systems.
Frequently asked
What does the Confluence MCP let Switchy do?
It lets AI agents read, create, and update Confluence pages and blog posts directly from Switchy. Agents can create new spaces, add labels for organization, and attach custom properties to pages or posts. You connect once via OAuth, then any team member can ask an agent to draft a runbook, pull specs from a page, or publish meeting notes to a specific space without leaving the conversation.
Do I need Confluence admin rights to connect this MCP?
No. Standard OAuth permissions are enough—Switchy requests scopes to read content, write pages, and manage spaces you already have access to. If your Confluence admin has locked down space creation or certain labels, those restrictions carry over. The MCP won't bypass your org's existing permissions; it just acts on your behalf within whatever access you already have.
Can the Confluence MCP search across all my spaces at once?
Yes, but only spaces you have read access to. The MCP includes tools to query content by title, label, or space key, so an agent can pull information from multiple spaces in one go. It won't surface pages from private spaces you're not a member of, and search results respect your Confluence permissions exactly as they appear in the web UI.
Why use this instead of just opening Confluence in a browser?
Speed and context. An agent can draft a page using data from three other tools—Slack threads, GitHub issues, your CRM—then publish it to Confluence without you copy-pasting between tabs. You also skip the Confluence editor's learning curve for teammates who just want to get words into a space. For reading, agents retrieve only the paragraphs you need instead of scrolling through long pages.
Who on the team should connect the Confluence MCP?
Whoever owns documentation or needs to automate page creation. If one person manages your team wiki, connect their Confluence account so agents inherit the right space permissions. Multiple people can connect separate Confluence accounts to the same Switchy workspace, but each connection only sees the spaces that account can access. Plan your setup around who actually writes and organizes your Confluence content.
