Connect Confluence to Gemini CLI
To use Confluence in Gemini CLI, connect your Confluence account in Manyplug and add Manyplug to Gemini CLI once. Gemini CLI then gets 6 Confluence tools, for example: “Search”, “Get a page”, and “List spaces”. It takes about 3 minutes and works on the free plan.

Questions
Can I connect two Confluence accounts to Gemini CLI?
Yes. Connect each one in Manyplug under its own name, for example Work and Personal. Gemini CLI can use one of them or all at once.
Will Gemini CLI change anything in Confluence without asking?
Changes follow your rules: you can make every change in Confluence wait for your approval, or let Gemini CLI only read.
Do I need an official Confluence MCP server for this?
No. Manyplug connects to Confluence itself with a key or app password you paste into its form, and gives Gemini CLI the tools through one MCP address, together with your other services.
Is it free to connect Gemini CLI to Manyplug?
Yes. New workspaces get 14 days of Pro free, then the free plan keeps going with 150 actions a month and up to 3 connected accounts. No card needed. Paid plans start at $5 a month.
Does Gemini CLI see my passwords or API keys?
No. Keys are entered on Manyplug’s own pages, stored encrypted with a separate key per account, and the AI only receives tool results.
