FAQ

How this task behaves.

  • 01

    Yes, the agent can see all collections it has permission to access via the connection.

  • 03

    No. The agent is limited to retrieving information. Creating new notes is not a capability of this MCP.

  • 04

    How does the AI find notes that aren't in the main list?

    The agent uses the ability to list children of a note to navigate through nested hierarchies.
