Comprehensive Confluence documentation management. Use when asked to "upload to Confluence", "download Confluence pages", "convert Markdown to Wiki Markup", "sync documentation to Confluence", "search Confluence", "create Confluence page", "update Confluence page", "export Confluence", "publish to Confluence", or "Confluence CQL query". Handles Wiki Markup conversion, Mermaid/PlantUML diagrams, image handling, large document uploads without size limits, and Git-to-Confluence sync with mark CLI.
Type: Project | Version: 2.2.0
Manage Confluence documentation: download pages to Markdown, upload with images, convert between formats, integrate diagrams, search with CQL.
DO NOT USE MCP FOR PAGE UPLOADS - Size limits apply (~10-20KB max)
# Use REST API scripts instead:
python3 scripts/upload_confluence_v2.py document.md --id PAGE_ID
MCP tools are fine for reading pages but fail for uploading large content.
# Update existing page
python3 scripts/upload_confluence_v2.py document.md --id 780369923
# Create new page
python3 scripts/upload_confluence_v2.py document.md --space DEV --parent-id 123456
# Preview first (recommended)
python3 scripts/upload_confluence_v2.py document.md --id 780369923 --dry-run
# Single page
python3 scripts/download_confluence.py 123456789
# With child pages
python3 scripts/download_confluence.py --download-children 123456789
# Multiple pages
python3 scripts/download_confluence.py 123456 456789 789012

Copy and track progress:
Upload Progress:
- [ ] Diagrams converted to PNG/SVG (if Mermaid/PlantUML present)
- [ ] All images use markdown syntax: 
- [ ] No raw Confluence XML in markdown
- [ ] All image files verified to exist
- [ ] Dry-run tested: `--dry-run`
- [ ] Upload executed with v2 script (not MCP)
- [ ] Page URL verified accessible
Download Progress:
- [ ] Page ID obtained from Confluence URL
- [ ] Credentials configured in .env file
- [ ] Output directory specified
- [ ] --download-children flag set (if hierarchy needed)
- [ ] Download completed successfully
- [ ] Attachments downloaded to {Page}_attachments/
- [ ] Frontmatter contains correct metadata
Standard Workflow:
Convert diagrams (if Mermaid/PlantUML):
# Mermaid
mmdc -i diagram.mmd -o diagram.png -b transparent
# PlantUML
plantuml diagram.puml -tpng
Reference in markdown (always use markdown syntax):
Upload (script handles attachments):
python3 scripts/upload_confluence_v2.py document.md --id PAGE_ID
