update_status
Manually set node status (rarely needed — the engine does it)
How to use it
update_status is exposed by the Hypotree MCP server. Add the server to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf and others), and the update_status tool becomes available to the model automatically. See the full listing for setup details and every tool this server provides.
