Item types
Every item type the API accepts, its data schema and the MCP tool that renders the same payload.
One items resource covers every type. type selects the schema for data, and that schema is the same one the MockFlow MCP server accepts, so a payload built for an agent posts unchanged here and the other way round.
44 item types. Send one as POST /boards/{boardId}/items with { "type": ..., "data": ... }, or check a payload first with POST /item-types/{type}:validate.
