Instructions file for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: the file is CLAUDE.md.

This is fastmcp-me/mcp-outline's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on mcp-outline itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything mcp-outline configures →

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

mcp-outline CLAUDE.md scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

MCP Outline Server Guide

This guide helps you implement and modify the MCP Outline server effectively.

Purpose

This MCP server bridges AI assistants with Outline's document management platform:

  • REST API integration for Outline services
  • Tools for documents, collections, and comments
  • API key authentication
  • Docker and local development support

Architecture

Tool Categories

  • Search: Find documents, collections, hierarchies
  • Reading: Read content, export markdown
  • Content: Create, update, comment
  • Organization: Move documents between collections
  • Lifecycle: Archive, delete, restore operations
  • Collaboration: Comments, backlinks
  • Collections: Create, update, delete, export
  • AI: Natural language queries

Core Concepts

Outline Objects

  • Documents: Markdown content with title and metadata
  • Collections: Grouping with name, description, color
  • Comments: Threaded discussions with replies
  • Hierarchy: Parent-child document relationships
  • Lifecycle: Draft → Published → Archived → Deleted

API Client

OutlineClient in utils/outline_client.py handles async REST API interactions:

Operations (all async):

  • Documents: get, search, create, update, move, archive, delete, restore
  • Collections: list, create, update, delete, export
  • Comments: create, list, get
  • AI: answer questions

Configuration:

  • OUTLINE_API_KEY (required)
  • OUTLINE_API_URL (optional, defaults to https://app.getoutline.com/api)
  • OUTLINE_MAX_CONNECTIONS (optional, default: 100) - Maximum concurrent connections
  • OUTLINE_MAX_KEEPALIVE (optional, default: 20) - Maximum idle connections in pool
  • OUTLINE_TIMEOUT (optional, default: 30.0) - Request timeout in seconds
  • OUTLINE_CONNECT_TIMEOUT (optional, default: 5.0) - Connection timeout in seconds
  • Authentication via Bearer token

Connection Pooling:

  • Uses httpx with class-level connection pool
  • Shared across all OutlineClient instances
  • Automatic connection reuse for better performance
  • Configurable limits via environment variables

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
