confluence-fetch 0.11.0

Agent-first CLI for fetching Confluence Cloud page context as Markdown or JSON.

confluence-fetch

confluence-fetch fetches Confluence Cloud pages and turns them into agent-friendly output for CLI tools like Codex CLI and Claude Code.

It is designed for:

• Fetching page context from a Confluence URL
• Returning clean Markdown by default
• Returning structured JSON when needed
• Keeping secrets out of config files

Why

This tool exists to bring Confluence context into local agent workflows.

The primary use case is:

1. Set a token in an environment variable
2. Set your Confluence account email in config
3. Run confluence-fetch fetch <confluence-url>
4. Feed the result into an agent

Install

Target public install path:

uvx confluence-fetch --help

For local development, the repo will also keep a PEP 723 script entry point for uv run.

Quick Start

Set your Confluence token:

$env:CONFLUENCE_TOKEN = "<your-token>"

Set your Confluence account email:

uvx confluence-fetch config set-email "[e-mail]"

Fetch a page as Markdown:

uvx confluence-fetch fetch "https://your-domain.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/ENG/pages/123456789/Example+Page"

Fetch the same page as JSON:

uvx confluence-fetch fetch --format json "https://your-domain.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/ENG/pages/123456789/Example+Page"

Write output to a file:

uvx confluence-fetch fetch -o page.md "https://your-domain.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/ENG/pages/123456789/Example+Page"

Include comments:

uvx confluence-fetch fetch --comments "https://your-domain.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/ENG/pages/123456789/Example+Page"

Config

Optional user config lives at:

~/.confluence-fetch/config.toml

The config stores only environment variable names, never secret token values.

Example:

[defaults]
token_env_var = "CONFLUENCE_TOKEN"
email = "[e-mail]"

[domains."sona-systems.atlassian.net"]
token_env_var = "SONA_CONFLUENCE_TOKEN"

[domains."example.atlassian.net"]
token_env_var = "EXAMPLE_CONFLUENCE_TOKEN"

Resolution order:

1. --token-env ENV_VAR
2. domain-specific config match from the requested Confluence URL
3. [defaults].token_env_var
4. built-in default CONFLUENCE_TOKEN

Email resolution order:

1. [defaults].email
2. CONFLUENCE_EMAIL
3. compatibility fallback confluence_email

Config commands:

confluence-fetch config show
confluence-fetch config set-default-token-env ENV_VAR
confluence-fetch config set-email EMAIL
confluence-fetch config clear-email
confluence-fetch config set-domain-token-env DOMAIN ENV_VAR
confluence-fetch config remove-domain DOMAIN

Example:

uvx confluence-fetch config set-domain-token-env sona-systems.atlassian.net SONA_CONFLUENCE_TOKEN

config show displays the effective token env var names, whether they are set or missing, and the configured default email. It never prints token values.

Output

confluence-fetch supports:

• --format markdown
• --format json

Markdown is the default.

Diagnostics go to stderr. Payload output goes to stdout unless --output is used.

Development

Implementation target:

• Python >=3.11
• installable PyPI package
• PEP 723 wrapper for uv run

Auth

confluence-fetch uses Basic auth with a Confluence account email plus API token.

Secrets are not written to config.
