About Outline
Outline is steadily polishing its wiki while quietly opening up to AI assistants via MCP.
Outline ships at a measured cadence focused on editor and collaboration polish: task-list and table refinements, request-access flows, public document subscriptions, and passkeys. The standout thread is a meaningfully expanded MCP server that lets AI assistants patch, move, and delete documents and manage inline comments, plus integrations like GitLab and Draw.io.
