Claude Code Claude Desktop Codex Cursor VS Code

run in your terminal

claude mcp add mcp-outline -- uvx mcp-outline

~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp-outline": {
      "args": [
        "mcp-outline"
      ],
      "command": "uvx"
    }
  }
}

~/.codex/config.toml

[mcp_servers.mcp-outline]
command = "uvx"
args = ["mcp-outline"]

.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp-outline": {
      "args": [
        "mcp-outline"
      ],
      "command": "uvx"
    }
  }
}

.vscode/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp-outline": {
      "args": [
        "mcp-outline"
      ],
      "command": "uvx"
    }
  }
}

This one needs environment variables set before it will start: OUTLINE_API_KEY (Outline API key (Settings > API). Can also be set in ~/.config/mcp-outline/.env), OUTLINE_API_URL (Outline API URL for self-hosted instances). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.

Outline MCP Server — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Outline MCP Server?

Outline MCP Server runs on your own machine over stdio — there is no network address to reach, so uptime cannot be measured for it by anyone. What can be measured is adoption: the pypi package mcp-outline was installed 482 times last week.

How do I connect Outline MCP Server?

Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It runs locally, so the command pulls mcp-outline straight from pypi; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.

How many people use Outline MCP Server?

The pypi package mcp-outline was installed 482 times in the last week. Week over week that is -28%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.

Is Outline MCP Server open source?

Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in Python, 155 stars on GitHub and 5 open issues. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
