Workflowy
Connects Claude to Workflowy's API with full CRUD operations plus some genuinely useful power tools. You get the basics like creating, updating, and completing nodes, but the real draw is bulk regex search and replace with dry run mode, content transformations that can split nodes or pipe through shell commands, and usage reports that surface stale content or show where your outline is bloated. Supports offline mode via Dropbox backups and lets you sandbox AI writes to specific subtrees. Ships as both an MCP server and standalone CLI, so you can script the same operations outside of Claude. If you keep serious data in Workflowy and want programmatic access beyond their web UI, this gives you the full toolkit.
