Add Confluence Whiteboard support to the Atlassian MCP Connector

[Timo Marks]

The Atlassian MCP Connector exposes tools for Confluence Pages and Jira Issues but does not support Whiteboards — even though Rovo Chat can create them internally, confirming the API capability exists.

Use case:
As a PM using Claude Desktop with the Atlassian MCP Connector, I want to create Whiteboards via AI agents for brainstorming, retros, and workshop prep — without switching to Rovo Chat or doing it manually.

Requested tools:
createConfluenceWhiteboard — Create a Whiteboard in a space
addWhiteboardContent — Add sticky notes, shapes, text, connectors
getConfluenceWhiteboard — Read Whiteboard content

Why it matters:
Whiteboards are a core Confluence content type. Excluding them from the MCP Connector creates an unnecessary gap between Rovo's internal capabilities and what external AI agents can do.

Environment: Confluence Cloud, Atlassian MCP Connector, Claude Desktop

Very excited for this feature. Any updates?
Confluence ability to display complex diagrams is crucial for our engineering team!

Still in active progress! We want to make sure we are building a great experience before releasing it to customers.

Hi @Ali Ahmed - Whiteboard create and read support is now available on the V2 preview MCP endpoint, as of now however there are no plans to bring it to V1.
