Feature Request: Add endpoint to retrieve full insight content #7

Feature Request

Problem

The current /insights/{id} endpoint only returns metadata (title, fields, labels, dates) but not the actual body content of the insight. This limits the usefulness of the MCP integration for AI assistants that need to read and summarize insights.

Current Behavior

  • GET /insights/{id} returns: title, type, fields, created_at, project, published status
  • GET /data/{id}/export/markdown works for data items but not insights

Requested Enhancement

Add an endpoint to retrieve the full content of an insight, similar to how /data/{id}/export/markdown works:

  • GET /insights/{id}/export/markdown - Returns insight body as markdown
  • Or include body / content field in the existing /insights/{id} response

Use Case

MCP integrations with AI tools (Cursor, Claude, etc.) to read, summarize, and reference Dovetail insights directly in conversations.

Thank you!
