MCP Outline Server
Server Configuration
Describes the environment variables required to run the server.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| MCP_HOST | No | Server host. Use `0.0.0.0` in Docker for external connections | 127.0.0.1 |
| MCP_PORT | No | HTTP server port (only for `sse` and `streamable-http` modes) | 3000 |
| MCP_TRANSPORT | No | Transport mode: `stdio` (local), `sse` or `streamable-http` (remote) | stdio |
| OUTLINE_API_KEY | Yes | Required for tool calls to succeed. For SSE/HTTP, can alternatively be provided per-request via `x-outline-api-key` header. | |
| OUTLINE_API_URL | No | For self-hosted: `https://your-domain/api` | https://app.getoutline.com/api |
| OUTLINE_TIMEOUT | No | Read timeout in seconds | 30.0 |
| OUTLINE_CACHE_TTL | No | Document cache TTL in seconds. The short default absorbs same-task read bursts without stressing the Outline API; set `0` to disable caching (always-fresh reads) or higher (e.g. `300`) for more API savings. Staged edits work either way | 30 |
| OUTLINE_READ_ONLY | No | `true` = disable ALL write operations | false |
| OUTLINE_VERIFY_SSL | No | Set `false` for self-signed certificates | true |
| OUTLINE_MAX_KEEPALIVE | No | Max idle connections in pool | 20 |

| OUTLINE_CONNECT_TIMEOUT | No | Connection timeout in seconds | 5.0 |
| OUTLINE_MAX_CONNECTIONS | No | Max concurrent connections in pool | 100 |
| OUTLINE_DISABLE_AI_TOOLS | No | `true` = disable AI tools (for Outline instances without OpenAI) | false |
| OUTLINE_DYNAMIC_TOOL_LIST | No | `true` = enable per-user tool filtering by role/key scopes | false |
| OUTLINE_DISABLE_RECENT_DOCUMENTS | No | `true` = disable the `list_recently_updated_documents` tool | false |
