Common questions about connecting and running Outline.
How do I authenticate this MCP server with my Outline workspace?
Set the OUTLINE_API_KEY environment variable with your API key from Outline Settings > API, or store it in ~/.config/mcp-outline/.env. For self-hosted instances, also set OUTLINE_API_URL to your instance URL.
Can I use this with a self-hosted Outline instance?
Yes. Set the OUTLINE_API_URL environment variable to your self-hosted instance URL. The server will connect to that endpoint instead of the default Outline cloud.
What operations can I perform on Outline documents through this MCP server?
The server supports document search, reading full content, and management operations. Exact capabilities depend on your Outline API key permissions and the API endpoints available in your instance version.
Is there a cost to use this MCP server?
The MCP server itself is free and open-source. You need an active Outline workspace (cloud or self-hosted) and valid API credentials to use it.
Where should I store my OUTLINE_API_KEY if I don't want to set it as an environment variable?
You can store your API key in ~/.config/mcp-outline/.env and the server will read it automatically. This keeps credentials out of shell history and environment exports.
