It would be amazing if I could have Claude etc generate diagrams (say SVGs) and upload/insert them into generated documentation using the MCP server. At the moment I have to manually copy and paste them in which breaks down the amazing benefits from using confluence and the mcp server for docs. I love the connector btw :)

Hi @Scott Melhop 

I believe current Confluence MCP servers rely on standard REST API v2 endpoints for reading and writing Confluence Storage Format (XML/HTML) text content.
Uploading and displaying visuals involves a two-step process that most standard MCP implementations don't combine into a single tool yet. 

Looks like a feature request is open for this https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/ECO-1265

  • To serve your requests Mermaid plugin might help. You can instruct Claude to output standard Mermaid syntax directly inside the Confluence page body. 
  • If you are running the MCP server locally, you can add a simple tool definition for attachment uploads. Like a quick Python wrapper requests which can take an SVG string generated by Claude, write to a temp file, and POST it to Confluence

GitHub reference specifically requests tools (getConfluencePageAttachments, uploadConfluenceAttachment) to fetch and upload media natively without needing external scripts.

Hi @Scott Melhop 

Welcome to the community !!

As Vishwa suggest a mktplace app can help to render mermaid diagrams directly in Confluence. If you are open to try out one, take a look at 

Mermaid Diagrams & Charts for Confluence

The app has more than 15 diagramming templates and also integrates with your code repositories like GitHub/Bitbucket.
