Can I search for specific keywords across all my notebooks?

Yes. The `search_notecards` tool allows your AI agent to perform a global search across your entire Zoho Notebook account, returning all cards that match your query string instantly.

How do I add a new checklist or note to a specific notebook?

You can use the `create_notecard` tool. Provide the parent `notebook_id`, a title, and the content. You can also specify the type as 'text' or 'checklist' to match your organizational needs.

Is it possible to see the full content of a card via chat?

Absolutely. Use the `get_notecard_details` tool and provide the notebook and card IDs. Your agent will retrieve the full body content and metadata for that specific note.

Common questions about integrating Zoho Notebook MCP Server with AutoGen.

How does AutoGen connect to MCP servers?

Create an MCP tool adapter and assign it to one or more agents in the group chat. AutoGen agents can then call Zoho Notebook tools during their conversation turns.

Can different agents have different MCP tool access?

Yes. AutoGen's role-based architecture lets you assign specific MCP tools to specific agents, so a querying agent has different capabilities than a reviewing agent.
