MCP.Pizza Chef: mmmeff

Nineteen tools cover documents, collections, comments and people: searching, reading, writing, moving, archiving, templating and deleting, plus a plain-language question tool that only works if an administrator has switched on Outline's AI answers. The project is archived — the author stopped in April 2026 and points everyone at Outline's own official server, which signs you in properly instead of asking for a key. Deleting happens with no confirmation, although deleted pages land in your workspace bin.

Archived · The author made this repository read-only on GitHub.

outline-mcp-server FAQ

Is this still maintained?
No. It was archived in April 2026 and the author's own notice tells you to use Outline's official server instead, which handles sign-in properly. Use this one only if you have a reason the official one does not cover.
Do I need an account key?
Yes — a personal key from your Outline account. It carries exactly your own permissions, so the assistant can reach anything you can reach and nothing you cannot.
Can it delete my documents?
Yes, and it does not ask first. The saving grace is that a deleted page goes to your workspace bin rather than disappearing, so it can be restored. Comments, however, are removed outright.
Can I use this to ask a plain question of our docs?
Yes, but only if an administrator has turned on the AI answers feature in your Outline workspace settings. Without it that one tool returns an error while the other eighteen keep working.
Which apps does it work in?
Cursor has a one-click install, Claude Desktop has a downloadable extension on the releases page, and anything else that accepts a settings snippet will work. It needs a recent version of Node on your machine.
Can I run one copy for my whole team?
Not safely. Although it advertises per-person keys sent with each request, the program keeps only a single key slot in memory, so two people using it at the same moment can end up acting as one another. Run your own copy.
How hard is setup?
Moderate. Most people paste a short settings block with their key and are done; the Docker and shared-server routes in the instructions are for people who want to host it.
