confluence-wiki -extension

This MCP server extension enables Confluence Wiki integration by exposing a server that can fetch Confluence Wiki content and convert it to Markdown for use within Cursor-powered prompts. It stores Confluence credentials securely and provides a simple command-based setup that Cursor can invoke to retrieve and transform wiki pages on demand. To use it, configure your Confluence Wiki connection (host URL, username, and password) through the extension’s configuration UI, which stores credentials in an encrypted file for security. Then, add a new MCP Server in Cursor with the type set to Command and point the command to the server path shown in the extension configuration. When you prompt a model like Claude with a Confluence Wiki URL, Cursor will prompt you to run the tool; selecting it fetches the wiki content, converts it to Markdown, and feeds it back to the AI model for processing.

Prerequisites:

• Node.js (recommended LTS) and npm installed on your machine
• Visual Studio Code installed (or compatible editor with MCP support)

Install steps:

1. Install the extension (via VSCode Marketplace) or clone the repository and install dependencies:
   • git clone <repository-url>
   • cd confluence-wiki-mcp-server-extension
   • npm install
2. Build or prepare the server if required by the extension setup (follow repository-specific build steps, e.g., npm run build).
3. Start the MCP server script (adjust the path to your server entry if needed):
   • node path/to/server.js
4. In Cursor, add a new MCP Server and configure it to use the Command type, with the command pointing to the server entry path you started above.

Notes:

• Ensure your Confluence credentials are stored securely via the extension’s configuration interface.
• If you modify the server path, update Cursor’s configuration accordingly.

Tips and caveats:

• The extension stores credentials in an encrypted file; never expose them in plain text. Ensure file permissions restrict access.
• If the server fails to start, verify Node.js version compatibility, check that the path to server.js is correct, and review any logs produced by the MCP server for errors.
• When prompted by Cursor, ensure you supply a valid Confluence Wiki URL and any specific requirements (e.g., page selectors) to fetch and transform the content accurately.
• You can customize the conversion behavior (e.g., preserving headings, links, or images) via extension settings if supported by the server implementation.
• If you encounter permissions issues connecting to Confluence, verify network access and that the credentials have the required scopes for reading wiki pages.
