Workflowy MCP

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for interacting with Workflowy. This server provides an MCP-compatible interface to Workflowy, allowing AI assistants to interact with your Workflowy lists programmatically.

What is MCP?

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is a standardized way for AI models to interact with external tools and APIs. This server implements MCP to allow AI assistants (like ChatGPT) to read and manipulate your Workflowy lists through a set of defined tools.

Features

• Workflowy Integration: Connect to your Workflowy account using username/password authentication
• MCP Compatibility: Full support for the Model Context Protocol
• Tool Operations: Search, create, update, and mark nodes as complete/incomplete in your Workflowy

Example Usage:

Personally, I use workflowy as my project management tool. Giving my agent access to my notes, and my code base, the following are useful prompts:

• "Show my all my notes on project XYZ in workflowy"
• "Review the codebase, mark all completed notes as completed"
• "Given my milestones on workflowy for this project, suggest what my next task should be"

Installation

Prerequisites

• Node.js v18 or higher
• A Workflowy account

Quick Install

Configuration

Create a .env file in your project directory with the following content:

Alternatively, you can provide these credentials as environment variables when running the server.

Usage

Starting the Server

Available Tools

This MCP server provides the following tools to interact with your Workflowy:

1. list_nodes - Get a list of nodes from your Workflowy (root nodes or children of a specified node)
2. search_nodes - Search for nodes by query text
3. create_node - Create a new node in your Workflowy
4. update_node - Modify an existing node's text or description
5. toggle_complete - Mark a node as complete or incomplete

Integrating with AI Assistants

To use this MCP server with AI assistants (like ChatGPT):

1. Start the MCP server as described above
2. Connect your AI assistant to the MCP server (refer to your AI assistant's documentation)
3. The AI assistant will now be able to read and manipulate your Workflowy lists
