Confluence MCP & page macros

[Georg Duemlein]

I am trying the Atlassian MCP with Claude and it unlocks powerful workflows.

However, when the MCP fetches and updates pages, it loses macros like page properties, layouts, and the table of contents.

There is a third-party mcp (https://github.com/sooperset/mcp-atlassian/blob/main/src/mcp_atlassian/confluence/pages.py) that has options to skip the conversion of pages to markdown. 

Am I missing some setting or prompt technique?

hi @Vishalakshi Narayana Swamy 

I'm looking to update existing pages in my space. I need to add a details macro to each page.

<ac:structured-macro ac:name="details" ac:schema-version="1" data-layout="default">
<ac:parameter ac:name="hidden">true</ac:parameter>
...

I realized that Atlassian MCP requires the ADF format.

{"error":true,"message":"Invalid ADF content provided. Failed to parse: Unexpected token '<', "<ac:struct"... is not valid JSON"}

I also tried using an automation rule, but I couldn't find a way to add the macro.

Finally, I'm using the REST API. I created a token and, using curl, updated my pages.
