Using Confluence tools in Claude Code
What to expect once Confluence is connected.
- Confluence tools appear as mcp__metorial__<tool>. Use that name in permission rules to allow or deny a tool.
- Run /mcp to see whether Metorial is connected and to sign in again.
- Claude Code warns when a tool result passes 10,000 tokens and caps it at 25,000 by default. Raise the cap with MAX_MCP_OUTPUT_TOKENS.
- Pre-approve trusted Confluence tools with allow rules in your settings so Claude Code stops asking each time.
Troubleshooting Claude Code
- claude mcp list shows "Needs authentication"
- Run /mcp, select Metorial, and sign in. If sign-in keeps failing, choose Clear authentication in the same menu and sign in again.
- A teammate sees "Pending approval"
- Servers shared through a project .mcp.json need approval. Run claude in the project and approve Metorial when asked.
- Large tool results are cut off
- Claude Code limits MCP tool output to 25,000 tokens by default. Raise it with the MAX_MCP_OUTPUT_TOKENS environment variable.
Based on the Claude Code MCP documentation.
