CLI for Confluence Cloud.

Installation

Check if confcli is installed:

command -v confcli

If not installed, install via:

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/hochej/confcli/main/install.sh | sh

To install a specific version or to a custom directory:

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/hochej/confcli/main/install.sh | VERSION=0.2.3 sh
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/hochej/confcli/main/install.sh | INSTALL_DIR=~/.bin sh

Authentication

Check auth status first:

confcli auth status

If not authenticated, ask the user to configure authentication. They can either:

Run confcli auth login interactively in their own terminal, or
Set environment variables before starting the session:
- CONFLUENCE_DOMAIN — e.g. yourcompany.atlassian.net
- CONFLUENCE_EMAIL
- CONFLUENCE_TOKEN (or CONFLUENCE_API_TOKEN)

API tokens are generated at https://id.atlassian.com/manage-profile/security/api-tokens

Never ask the user to paste a token into the conversation. Tokens must be set via environment variables or confcli auth login.

Important

Write operations (create, update, delete, purge, edit, label add/remove, attachment upload/delete, comment add/delete, copy-tree) require explicit user intent. Never perform these based on assumptions.
