MCP server for SilverBullet note-taking app - read, write, search, and manage markdown pages
Why use this skill?
Integrate SilverBullet markdown notes with your AI agent. Read, search, and manage your personal knowledge base directly using the Model Context Protocol (MCP) in OpenClaw.
Install via CLI (Recommended)
clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/ramonitor/silverbullet-skillWhat This Skill Does
The SilverBullet MCP server is a powerful integration that bridges the gap between your AI agent and your personal knowledge management system. SilverBullet is a self-hosted, markdown-first note-taking application, and this skill allows your AI to treat your notes as a first-class knowledge base. By exposing the SilverBullet API via the Model Context Protocol (MCP), the AI can index, search, read, write, and organize your markdown files directly from your workspace. Whether you are managing complex projects, keeping a daily journal, or documenting technical workflows, this skill enables seamless synchronization between your thoughts and the AI's processing capabilities.
Installation
Installation is streamlined via ClawdHub. Run clawdhub install silverbullet to get started. For manual configuration, navigate to your installation directory, set up your virtual environment using uv, and install the dependencies. You must configure the SILVERBULLET_URL environment variable to point to your local or remote SilverBullet instance. Finally, update your ~/.mcporter/mcporter.json file to include the server configuration, ensuring the baseDir path correctly references your local installation. Once completed, verify connectivity by running mcporter list silverbullet to ensure all tools are accessible.
Use Cases
This skill transforms your note-taking from a passive activity into an active AI-assisted workflow. You can use it to maintain a living project dashboard, where the AI automatically updates status pages based on task progress. It is excellent for summarizing long-form notes into actionable tasks, aggregating daily journal entries for weekly reviews, or acting as a research assistant that cross-references new ideas against existing knowledge pages. It effectively turns your markdown files into a persistent database for the AI agent.
Example Prompts
- "Check my SilverBullet project dashboard for 'Q4 Launch' and list any pending tasks I haven't completed yet."
- "Append the summary of our recent meeting to the 'meeting-minutes.md' file in my SilverBullet journal folder."
- "Search for all pages related to 'API documentation' and create a new summary page titled 'Aggregated API Notes'."
Tips & Limitations
To ensure optimal performance, keep your page naming conventions consistent. If the server is not responding, always verify the URL first using a browser or curl. Note that this skill directly modifies files on your filesystem; ensure you have appropriate backups enabled in your SilverBullet configuration to prevent accidental data loss during bulk update operations. Large document sets might increase latency during search queries, so grouping notes into folders can significantly improve performance.
