Outline.co / MCP

Your notes and boards, for Claude and ChatGPT

Yes. Outline.co speaks the Model Context Protocol at https://api.outline.co/api/mcp, over Streamable HTTP, so any MCP client can read your boards, search them and add a card. It is authenticated as you and reaches exactly what you reach. Nothing there can delete a board.

The endpoint

• Address: https://api.outline.co/api/mcp
• Transport: Streamable HTTP, the Model Context Protocol’s remote transport; stateless.
• Who it acts as: you — it reaches exactly the notes and boards you can, and no one else’s.
• What it cannot do: delete a note or a board.
• Price: free, like the rest of Outline.co.

Only when you ask, and only on your own account. The assistant runs on open-weights models through your Cloudflare account — nothing goes to a model vendor, nothing is used as training data, and if no model is set up the features simply are not there.
