Outlit: MCP server, CLI and agent surfaces

Sign-in required, tools not seen, not counted. The MCP endpoint listed for Outlit at mcp.outlit.ai answered 401 with OAuth metadata on 4 November 2026. Its tools can be listed only after a person authorizes a client, and this directory never signs in.

MCP server

Endpoint	`https://mcp.outlit.ai/mcp`
How it was found	listed in Ora's public leaderboard
Transport	streamable-http
HTTP status	401
Connected	4 November 2026, 20:03 UTC
Handshake time	1,012 ms over 1 attempt

The endpoint answered the handshake with a sign-in challenge, so the tool list is not visible to this directory. It is not counted as an MCP server: a sign-in challenge is its own state, and the connector listed no tools.

Authentication

Auth type	OAuth with client registration
What the challenge said	`Bearer error="invalid_token", error_description="Outlit MCP requires an Authorization: Bearer token. Use the workspace MCP URL and complete OAuth in your MCP client. Legacy or headless clients that do not support OAuth must send their configured bearer credential.", resource_metadata="https://mcp.outlit.ai/.well-known/oauth-protected-resource/mcp"`
Protected resource metadata	mcp.outlit.ai
Authorization server metadata	clerk.outlit.ai
Registration endpoint	`https://clerk.outlit.ai/oauth/register`

The sign-in route, step by step

Request https://mcp.outlit.ai/mcp without a token. It answers 401 and a WWW-Authenticate header.
Read the protected resource metadata at https://mcp.outlit.ai/.well-known/oauth-protected-resource/mcp to find the authorization server.
Register a client at the registration endpoint https://clerk.outlit.ai/oauth/register (dynamic client registration), so no human has to create an app first.
Send a person through the authorization page, then retry the endpoint with the bearer token. The connector stops after step 2 and never authorizes.

See OAuth for MCP: client ID metadata documents and dynamic registration for how each route works.

CLI

No CLI is on record for Outlit. The directory checks a package only where a source names one, so this is a floor: a company can ship a command line that no source read for this edition mentions. See shipping a CLI agents can use.
