Enables AI systems to search, read, edit, and manage documents within Outline's knowledge management platform through direct API integration with both cloud and self-hosted instances.
  1. Click the "Install Now" button in FastMCP to open the connection / server install interface.
  2. In the FastMCP connection interface locate the environment variable (ENV) inputs for the MCP you are installing. You will enter the values there (the "Install Now" flow saves them into the MCP config).
  3. Create an Outline API key (this is the value for OUTLINE_API_KEY):
    1. Log in to your Outline account (cloud or your self-hosted instance).
    2. Click your profile → Settings → API Keys.
    3. Click "Create New" (or "New API Key") and copy the generated token immediately — the token is shown only once. (docs.getoutline.com)
  4. Paste the copied token into the OUTLINE_API_KEY field in the FastMCP connection interface. If the interface supports marking a value as secret/password, enable that.
  5. (If you use a self-hosted Outline) In the FastMCP ENV inputs set OUTLINE_API_URL to your instance API base URL — for example: https://your-domain/api — ensure the URL points at the Outline API endpoint (it must end with /api). For Outline Cloud you may use the default API base (https://app.getoutline.com/api). (pipedream.com)
  6. Optional environment settings you can set in the same interface (only if desired):
    • OUTLINE_READ_ONLY=true — enable viewer-only mode (disables all write operations).
    • OUTLINE_DISABLE_DELETE=true — disable delete operations only.
    • OUTLINE_DISABLE_AI_TOOLS=true — disable AI features.
  7. Save/Install the MCP in FastMCP. After install, verify the connection (you can test by calling an Outline endpoint with the key). Example test (replace YOUR_API_KEY and URL as appropriate):
    curl -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" https://app.getoutline.com/api/auth.info
    This confirms your OUTLINE_API_KEY and OUTLINE_API_URL are correct. (docs.getoutline.com)
  8. Secure the token: store the API key in a password manager or secret store. If you lose the key, revoke it in Outline and create a new API key from Settings → API Keys. (docs.getoutline.com)
