Has anyone successfully automated Confluence page creation using MCP?

Miguel Santos

Hi everyone,

I'm currently trying to automate Confluence page creation using an MCP server with an AI coding tool. Reading pages works without any issues, but creating or updating pages doesn't seem to work as expected.

I've already checked the authentication and basic configuration, so I'm wondering if there are any additional permissions or settings required in Confluence Cloud.

Has anyone successfully set this up? If so, I'd really appreciate it if you could share your experience or point me in the right direction.

Thanks in advance!

Hi @Miguel Santos

echo @Sebastian Krzewiński do you see any errors?

Hows your write scope permission look like?

Your integration must request a write scope. Check that, try changing scopes, reconnect/re-authorise so the access token is reissued. See Atlassian API reference and scope guidance
Are there any page restrictions?

A good isolation test is to sign into Confluence as the same account behind the MCP connection and manually create/edit a page in the exact target space. If that fails, it is space/page permission; if it succeeds, inspect the MCP server’s granted OAuth scopes and the API error/status body.

Hi @Miguel Santos

You would need to provide the whole body of the page.

So look at an existing page and via the page via API to see how a body is build, this has to be in the call to create a page.

Hi all, thanks so much for jumping in!

Marc - Good point about the page body, I'll double check how I'm structuring that in the API call.

Viswanathan - No errors showing up directly, the request just doesn't seem to apply the changes. I'll check the write scope and try re-authorizing to see if that's the issue.

Sebastian - It's not throwing a specific error message, it just silently doesn't create/update the page. I'll try the manual isolation test you mentioned (same account, direct page creation) to narrow down if it's a permissions issue or something on the MCP server side.

Will report back once I've tested these. Appreciate the help!
