# Create a Confluence page

Creates a page in a Confluence space, under a parent page if you pass one, and returns the new page.

`spaceId` is required, and a published page needs a `title`; pages publish
unless `status` is `draft`. Send the content as `body` with a
`representation`, such as `storage`. `createConfluenceContent` also creates
blog posts, live docs, whiteboards, databases and folders.

## Set up

Use the first option your agent supports.

### MCP (official, remote)

Add this server to your agent's MCP settings, then sign in when asked.

```json
{ "mcpServers": { "atlassian": { "url": "https://mcp.atlassian.com/v2/mcp" } } }
```

Call the MCP tool `createConfluenceContent`.

Server URL: https://mcp.atlassian.com/v2/mcp

### API (official)

- Base URL: https://{your-domain}.atlassian.net
- Endpoint: `POST /wiki/api/v2/pages`
- Auth: send the header `Authorization: Basic $ATLASSIAN_API_KEY`
- Get a key: https://id.atlassian.com/manage-profile/security/api-tokens
- Docs: https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/jira/platform/rest/v3/intro/

Before doing anything else, make one read-only call to confirm access.

## Rules

- Ask the user before anything that sends messages, costs money, or changes data.
- Never print API keys.
