Add MCP server

I'm ok with building an MCP server for SB, but is there a way to do this separately and not built into the SB core?

You mean in a separate repository? That's basically what https://github.com/Ahmad-A0/silverbullet-mcp does.
I took the code and inlined it because it's much more convenient to have this integrated into a single server.

Maybe adding Universal Tool Calling Protocol protocol support would be a middle ground?
Then the silverbullet repo would just need to expose a file that describes the available REST interfaces for the tools and then one could use a UTCP-MCP translator to make these tools accessible to AI tools.

In order to be useful, one would need to create more REST routes for non-CRUD actions though, e.g. to

• search notes
• move note (otherwise the AI has to create a new note with the same content and delete the old one, which bears the risk of hallucinations during copying and wastes a lot of tokens)
• Query metadata
• Link graph analysis
• Structured data queries

Would you be ok with adding such higher-level operations as REST endpoints?
Or maybe you have other ideas or plans of how to make AIs be able to interact efficiently with Silverbullet?
