Editing an existing page via API or MCP

[Jay Jones]

Hi,

I am trying to see if there is a way to directly edit an existing confluence page via API/automation rules or an MCP.

I can only see a way to create a new page or append content to the end of an existing page but no options to edit an existing page's content, how do I go about doing this?

Thanks

Hi @Jay Jones 

You can use the Confluence API for this, see; https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/confluence/rest/v2/api-group-page/#api-pages-id-put

Hey @Jay Jones ,

MCP should be able to handle this. I've just tested calling edit action from ChatGPT and it did update the page according to the instructions:

Previos version	New version

This is a native connector, but you should be able to do the same with a custom MCP as it supports 'write' tools. 

On the other hand, Rovo is relatively limited and will always add content at the end, but there's a feature request for that: ROVO-276: ROVO agent adds content always at the bottom of the Confluence page 

Cheers,
Tobi
