Slite Knowledge Base

Slite is a team knowledge base with AI-powered search. Use this skill to query notes, ask questions, search content, and audit knowledge health via the Slite API.

Setup

Generate an API key

Open the organization menu (top left of the Slite app)
Click Settings
In the left panel, click API
Click Create a new key and follow the prompts
Copy the key immediately — it is only shown once

You can create multiple keys and revoke unused ones from the same page.

Configure

export SLITE_API_KEY="YOUR_API_KEY"

All endpoints use Bearer token auth against https://api.slite.com/v1.

# Base pattern for all requests
curl -s -H "Authorization: Bearer $SLITE_API_KEY" \
  "https://api.slite.com/v1/<endpoint>"

Authentication check

curl -s -H "Authorization: Bearer $SLITE_API_KEY" \
  "https://api.slite.com/v1/me" | jq .

Returns: displayName, email, organizationName, organizationDomain.

Troubleshooting

Problem	Fix
401 Unauthorized	Check `SLITE_API_KEY` is set and valid. Regenerate at Settings → API
422 Validation error	Check required parameters. `query` is required for `/users` and `/groups`
429 Rate limited	Back off and retry. Reduce request frequency
404 Not found	Verify the note/user/group ID exists and you have access
Empty search results	Try broader query terms, check `parentNoteId` scope, try `includeArchived=true`
Pagination not working	Use `nextCursor` from response for notes, `page` param for search

Tips

The /ask endpoint uses AI to answer from your knowledge base — great for natural language queries
Use format=md when fetching note content for the most readable output
Knowledge management endpoints help audit content health: find inactive, empty, or outdated notes
Paginated endpoints return hasNextPage and nextCursor — loop until hasNextPage is false
Search supports hitsPerPage up to 100 (use page starting at 0)
Knowledge management endpoints accept first up to 50 per page
