MCP - read and write in notes field on note

The current Workflowy MCP (Model Context Protocol) integration only exposes each node’s main text (name). It does not expose the node’s note field at all — neither for reading nor writing.

This means an AI assistant (or any other MCP client) connected to Workflowy cannot see any content a user has stored in a bullet’s note, and cannot write content into the note field either — attempts to set a note are silently ignored with no error.
Request: Please extend the MCP tool schema/API so that:

  1. Reading a node also returns its note content (not just the name).
  2. Writing/creating a node supports setting the note field directly (e.g. a note parameter on create/update operations).

This would make Workflowy’s MCP support much more useful for daily-log/check-in style workflows where the note field is used to record actual values under labeled bullets.
