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
# Install the package globally
npm install -g mcp-workflowy
# Or use npx to run it directly
npx mcp-workflowy server start
Configuration
Create a .env file in your project directory with the following content:
WORKFLOWY_USERNAME=your_username_here
WORKFLOWY_PASSWORD=your_password_here
Alternatively, you can provide these credentials as environment variables when running the server.
Usage
Starting the Server
# If installed globally
mcp-workflowy server start
# Using npx
npx mcp-workflowy server start
Available Tools
This MCP server provides the following tools to interact with your Workflowy:
- list_nodes - Get a list of nodes from your Workflowy (root nodes or children of a specified node)
- search_nodes - Search for nodes by query text
- create_node - Create a new node in your Workflowy
- update_node - Modify an existing node's text or description
- toggle_complete - Mark a node as complete or incomplete
Integrating with AI Assistants
To use this MCP server with AI assistants (like ChatGPT):
- Start the MCP server as described above
- Connect your AI assistant to the MCP server (refer to your AI assistant's documentation)
- The AI assistant will now be able to read and manipulate your Workflowy lists
