【MCP Server】Confluence × Claude Desktop 連携ガイド | AI でデータを徹底活用
Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an emerging, open-source standard for connecting LLMs with external services and data sources. Through MCP Servers, AI clients can perform actions like opening Jira tickets, posting Slack messages, committing GitHub branches and more. With CData MCP Servers, these capabilities expand exponentially.
In this article, we guide the reader through installing the CData MCP Server for Confluence, configuring the connection to Confluence, and asking questions of the data in Claude Desktop.
Prerequisites
You need to download Claude Desktop (download) and create an account before continuing.
Overview
Here's a quick overview of the steps:
- Download and install the CData MCP Server for Confluence
- Configure the connection to Confluence
- Ask questions about the data in Claude Desktop
Step 1: Download and install the CData MCP Server
- To begin, navigate to https://www.cdata.com/solutions/mcp/connectors and download the CData MCP Server for Confluence.
- Find and double-click the installer to begin the installation.
- Follow the prompts to complete the installation.
When the installation is complete, you are ready to configure your MCP Server by connecting to Confluence.
Step 2: Configure the connection to Confluence
- After installation, the CData MCP Server configuration wizard should open automatically.
NOTE: If the wizard does not open automatically, search for "CData MCP Server" in the Windows search bar and double-click the application.

- Click the dropdown menu in MCP Configuration > Configuration Name and select "
"
- Name the configuration (e.g. "cdataconfluence") and click "OK."
NOTE: This name is used as the name for the MCP server and as the prefix for all of the MCP Server's tools.
Connecting to Confluence
Confluence 接続プロパティの取得・設定方法
任意のConfluence Cloud またはConfluence Server インスタンスへの接続を確立できます。接続するにはURL 接続プロパティを設定します。例えば、https://yoursitename.atlassian.net です。
Confluence への認証
Confluence は、次の認証メソッドをサポートしています:API トークン、Basic 認証、OAuth 2.0、SSO。
API トークン - Confluence Cloud アカウント
トークンの取得
アカウント認証にはAPI トークンが必要です。API トークンを生成するには、Atlassian アカウントにログインしてAPI トークン -> API トークンの作成を選択します。生成されたトークンが表示されます。
トークンを使用する認証
Cloud アカウントへの認証を行うには、以下を入力します。
- AuthScheme:APIToken に設定。
- User:Confluence サーバーに認証する際に使用されるユーザー。
- APIToken:現在認証されているユーザーに紐づくAPI トークン。
- Url:Confluence エンドポイントに紐づくURL。例えば、https://yoursitename.atlassian.net です。
Basic 認証 - Confluence Server インスタンス
Server インスタンスへの認証を行うには、以下のように指定します。
- AuthScheme:Basic に設定。
- User:Confluence インスタンスに認証する際に使用されるユーザー。
- Password:Confluence サーバーに認証する際に使われるパスワード。
- Url:Confluence エンドポイントに紐づくURL。例えば、https://yoursitename.atlassian.net です。
Enter the appropriate connection properties in the configuration wizard.
- Click "Connect" to authenticate with Confluence.
- Finally, click "Save Configuration" to save the MCP server.
NOTE: This saves the configuration details to a separate file and updates the Claude Desktop configuration file (claude_desktop_config.json) to start the CData MCP Server when the Claude Desktop client starts.
With the CData MCP Server configured, you are ready to start asking questions of your live data from Claude.
Step 3: Ask AI for answers from live Confluence のデータ
Now that we have installed the CData MCP Server and configured a connection, we are ready to start with Confluence のデータ in Claude Desktop.
- Open Claude Desktop. It may take a moment for the MCP Servers to start, but you will see the list of servers and tools available in the Claude interface (look for the settings icon below the prompt bar).
You can individually enable and disable specific tools by clicking on the server name.
- Now that you have connected, you can ask Claude questions about the Confluence のデータ. For example: "Can you give me a quantitative analysis about my closed-won opportunities by industry?"
NOTE: Claude may need to explore the Confluence のデータ to make sense of it before it can begin answering questions of the data. The tabular model presented by CData alongside the database tools available simplify the data exploration and analysis for an LLM.
