What is the Outline MCP Server?
The Outline MCP Server is a middleware service that acts as a bridge between AI assistants and the Outline knowledge management platform. Through the standardized Model Context Protocol, AI assistants can perform operations such as document management, collection management, and comment management without directly dealing with complex API calls.How to use the Outline MCP Server?
Simply install the server and configure the Outline API key, and the AI assistant can manage your Outline content through natural language instructions. The server supports the full lifecycle management of documents, including creation, query, update, and deletion.Use cases
Suitable for teams or individuals who need AI assistance for knowledge management, especially in scenarios where batch processing of documents, automatic organization of knowledge bases, or natural language queries of document content are required.Main features
Document managementFull lifecycle management of documents, including creating, reading, updating, deleting, searching, and archiving documents.
Collection managementManage document collections, including getting collection details, listing collections, creating, and updating collections.
Comment managementCreate, update, and delete comments on documents to facilitate team collaboration.
User managementList and filter users to facilitate permission management and collaboration.
Natural language querySupport asking questions about document content in natural language, and the AI will find answers from the documents.
Document templatesCreate templates from existing documents to improve document creation efficiency.
