Permission-first runtime
Restrict capabilities with OUTLINE_ALLOWED_ACTIONS so each agent only sees and runs what it should.
Outline MCP User Guide
Run Outline with MCP.Cloud and self-hosted, one workflow.
outline-mcp is a production-focused MCP server for Outline workspaces. Configure once, connect your MCP client, and operate with explicit read/write/delete controls.
Built for real agent workflows
Cloud + self-hosted
Switch endpoints with OUTLINE_BASE_URL. Keep the same tools and contracts across environments.
Safe concurrency
Use safe_update_document and lease tools to avoid silent overwrites in multi-agent collaboration.
Operationally complete
Collections, documents, templates, comments, memberships, and export flows are all documented and available.
From setup to production usage
Production Ready- 1
Install and connect
Add @sigee-min/outline-mcp to your MCP client using npx or global install.
- 2
Apply environment policy
Set API key, endpoint, and allowed actions to match your trust boundary and deployment model.
- 3
Run guided operations
Use user guides for collection/document workflows, membership operations, and export processing.
- 4
Validate with E2E
Run Inspector scenarios with isolated temp collections to verify behavior before team rollout.
Operational Principles
- Keep permissions explicit: read-only agents should never receive write/delete capabilities.
- Use safe_update_document or lease flows for any concurrent edit path.
- Prefer temporary resources during validation to avoid impact on live collections.
