## Project Direction Update
I originally built SiYuan Sisyphus simply because I wanted my own SiYuan notes to connect more naturally with external AI agents. Now that SiYuan provides an official MCP implementation, I am glad to see a broader shared ecosystem taking shape. As one plugin developer within that ecosystem, I want Sisyphus to preserve its existing workflows while embracing official MCP and working alongside other plugins to make the connection between SiYuan and external agents smoother and more reliable.
This does not replace the existing project:
- the 14 Sisyphus aggregate tools, parameter conventions, notebook permissions, and existing agent workflows remain compatible;
- Sisyphus now connects to SiYuan's official MCP endpoint and discovers tools registered by other plugins;
- native SiYuan MCP tools can also be included explicitly, but remain disabled by default because they have a different security boundary;
- permission management, the document timeline, and multiple connection options continue to be maintained.
> Architecture summary: external AI agents connect to Sisyphus. Its aggregate tools access the SiYuan workspace through `/api/*`, while `extension` uses the official `/mcp` endpoint to bridge tools registered by other plugins. Native SiYuan MCP tools are optional and disabled by default.
The boundary is deliberate: Sisyphus-owned capabilities—including `fs`, the document timeline, permission management, CLI, document tools, and the other aggregate workflows—always use SiYuan's `/api/*` endpoints and never depend on official MCP. `/mcp` belongs exclusively to `extension`, where it discovers and forwards tools registered by other plugins and native SiYuan tools explicitly enabled by the user.
## One Connection, Two Compatible Tool Ecosystems
| Tool source | Default | Best suited for | Compatibility and security boundary |
|---|---|---|---|
| **Sisyphus aggregate tools** | Enabled | Stable read, search, edit, database, permission, and automation workflows | Existing actions and parameters remain compatible and pass through Sisyphus permissions and dangerous-action controls |
| **Official plugin MCP tools** | Enabled | New capabilities registered by other SiYuan plugins through official MCP | Dynamically discovered by `extension`; the official tool name becomes the action |
| **Native SiYuan MCP tools** | Disabled | Testing and comparison in trusted local environments | Execute with the administrator session or API Token and bypass Sisyphus notebook permissions and dangerous-action confirmation |
Existing users do not need to rewrite Sisyphus calls as official tools. The original tool surface remains available; official plugin tools add a new ecosystem entry point over the same connection.
Plugin developers only need to register a tool with SiYuan's official MCP registry. Sisyphus can discover it there without requiring a separate Sisyphus-specific adapter.
## What It Is
SiYuan Sisyphus connects external AI agents to SiYuan so they can safely read, search, edit, and organize the workspace.
It provides two entry points:
- **MCP plugin**: connect SiYuan to Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Cherry Studio, Cline, and other MCP-capable clients while bridging the official MCP plugin ecosystem.
- **CLI `siyuan-sisyphus`**: let agents, terminals, and scripts operate SiYuan through short commands for one-shot tasks and automation.
Both entry points share the same underlying SiYuan operations. Sisyphus-owned tools share one permission model; official tools forwarded through `extension` retain their own permission semantics.
## Quick Start
1. Install the plugin from the SiYuan marketplace, or build it from source using the development guide.
2. Open `Plugin -> SiYuan Sisyphus MCP & CLI -> Settings`.
3. Choose MCP or CLI on the connection page.
4. Copy the generated client configuration, or initialize the CLI with `siyuan-sisyphus init`.
5. Verify the connection with a read-only task such as listing notebooks or reading the SiYuan version.
6. To use official MCP tools registered by other plugins, expand “Extension Tools” in tool settings and inspect the discovery status.
```bash
npm i -g siyuan-sisyphus
siyuan-sisyphus init
sisyphus notebook list
```
For complete installation and connection instructions, see [Getting Started](./docs/getting-started/index.md).
## Core Capabilities
- **Official MCP plugin ecosystem integration**: discover tools registered by other plugins through SiYuan's official MCP and expose them to external agents.
- **Existing agent workflow compatibility**: retain the original Sisyphus aggregate tools, actions, CLI, and permission configuration.
- **AI-friendly note access**: use human-readable `fs` paths such as `/Notebook/Project/Note` without requiring agents to understand block IDs or document-tree internals.
- **MCP and CLI entry points**: use MCP for multi-step agent workflows and CLI for scripts, automation, and small one-shot tasks.
- **Notebook-level safety**: assign each notebook `none`, `r`, `rw`, or `rwd` access.
- **Low-context tool design**: group 100+ SiYuan capabilities into 14 action-routed tools and load detailed guidance only when needed.
- **Scenario Skills for agents**: provide guidance for browsing, editing, search, databases, exports, tags, flashcards, document timelines, system safety, and SiYuan markup.
- **MCP Apps views**: dedicated launch tools open flashcard review, document timeline, and mascot shop exactly once; ordinary aggregate tools never render duplicate Apps, and human actions are managed on a separate MCP Apps settings page.
- **Git-like document timeline**: create named timeline nodes, compare snapshots, and roll back a document when needed.
- **Practical connection setup**: generate connection snippets for common AI clients and local, remote, and Docker deployments.
## MCP Apps: Interactive Workflows Inside The Conversation
Version 0.6.0 adds three inline MCP Apps for clients that negotiate `io.modelcontextprotocol/ui`. Instead of turning an interactive task into a long sequence of chat messages, the agent prepares the required context once and opens a focused interface where the user finishes the workflow directly.
| App | Dedicated launcher | What happens in the App |
|-----|--------------------|-------------------------|
| Flashcard review | `flashcard_review_session` | The agent selects 1–20 due cards from a fixed, permission-checked candidate snapshot. The user reveals each answer and rates it Again / Hard / Good / Easy without exposing the remaining cards in chat. After the round, the user can ask the agent to explain the reviewed material. |
| Document timeline | `timeline_app` | Browse and create named nodes, compare a snapshot with the current document, inspect a compact block-level diff, and restore the whole document or one supported block. Pass `documentId` for a document timeline; omitting it intentionally opens a global-only view that can show only global nodes. Rollback uses an in-place second-click confirmation, so the target button does not move under the pointer. |
| Mascot shop | `mascot_shop_app` | Browse the pixel-art vending machine, queue items in the pickup slot, and complete a purchase only when the item is collected. A successful pickup also triggers the desktop mascot's item and heart animation. |

The Apps follow a deliberately separated interaction model:
- **One launcher, one App:** only the dedicated launcher carries the UI resource. Ordinary `flashcard`, `timeline`, and `mascot` calls remain data tools and never produce duplicate App panels.
- **The agent prepares; the user decides:** once an App opens, it becomes the sole interaction surface for that round. The model does not answer flashcards, choose ratings, roll back notes, or purchase items on the user's behalf.
- **Independent human-action permissions:** App actions are hidden from the model with `visibility: ["app"]` and can be enabled individually under Settings → MCP → MCP Apps. Notebook permissions, action switches, and server-side confirmation for high-risk operations still apply.
- **Graceful compatibility:** clients that do not advertise MCP Apps support do not receive the launchers or App-only actions. Existing aggregate-tool responses, `structuredContent`, and standalone CLI behavior remain unchanged.
See the detailed guides for [flashcard review](./docs/reference/tools/flashcard.md), the [timeline App](./docs/reference/tools/timeline.md), and the [mascot shop](./docs/reference/tools/mascot.md).
## Official MCP Ecosystem Integration
On SiYuan 3.7.0+, `extension` reads the official `/mcp` registry and turns allowed official tools into dynamic actions:
```json
{
"action": "plugin__example__search",
"arguments": {
"action": "query",
"keyword": "MCP"
}
}
```
All downstream parameters stay inside `arguments`, so a downstream tool can use its own `action` field without colliding with Sisyphus routing.
The tool settings page reports plugin/native tool counts, exposed count, schema size, source, and risk information. Individual tools can also be disabled.
Connections are version-gated and lazy. Sisyphus first reads the SiYuan version through `/api/system/version`; versions below 3.7.0 never receive a `/mcp` request. The official endpoint is contacted only when `extension` is enabled or when the user inspects or refreshes extension tools in settings. The outer MCP Server does not wait for initial discovery when listing tools: successful results are cached, a tool-list-changed notification is sent, and later `tools/list` calls reuse the cache instead of forcing a refresh.
If `/mcp` is unavailable, only dynamic extension actions are hidden. The remaining aggregate tools continue to work and outer MCP Server startup is unaffected. Official MCP integration does not raise the installation floor for the plugin; `minAppVersion` remains 2.9.0.
> **Security note:** official plugin tools and optional native SiYuan tools do not pass through the notebook permissions or action-level dangerous-operation controls applied to Sisyphus-owned tools. Native tools in particular should only be enabled for local or fully trusted clients.
See the [`extension` tool documentation](./docs/reference/tools/extension.md) for full calling conventions.
## Git-Like Document Timeline
<p align="center">
<img src="docs/archive/timeline-split.svg" alt="Separate Document Snapshots and Diff docks" width="900">
</p>
<p align="center"><em>The left snapshots dock manages nodes; the right diff dock compares and restores on demand.</em></p>
The timeline gives ordinary SiYuan documents a source-control-style safety layer:
- create document-only nodes or global nodes visible in every document;
- manage nodes in a compact, collapsible left dock inspired by VSCode Source Control;
- open the right Document Diff dock automatically when selecting a node, while node creation only refreshes and highlights the new entry;
- distinguish scopes with colored dots and Document / Global badges in one chronological list;
- delete document or global nodes by removing only their protective tags while retaining the underlying snapshots;
- compare a historical snapshot with the current document;
- switch between unified and split diff;
- use a minimap-style change navigator and collapse unchanged blocks;
- preserve older timeline nodes in a legacy archive, link one legacy node to multiple documents, or safely convert it into a new global node;
- roll back the whole document, or restore supported parsed blocks individually.
The snapshots dock reads only attribute and tag metadata. A current-state snapshot and diff are created only after a node is selected, and only for that node. The foundation is still SiYuan's workspace-wide snapshots: document ownership is recorded in document attributes, while global nodes are recovered from tags. It is intentionally not a complete Git replacement or source-control workflow.
The same workflow is available to MCP clients and the standalone CLI through the [`timeline` aggregate tool](./docs/reference/tools/timeline.md). Direct AI access to node deletion and both rollback actions is high-risk and disabled by default; MCP App writes use independent permissions so a user can click rollback without exposing that Tool to the model.
## MCP And CLI Entry Points
Use **MCP** when an AI client should discover tools, compose multi-step operations, and verify results. It fits agent workflows involving search, reading, editing, database inspection, and official plugin tools.
Use **CLI** when one terminal command is enough. It avoids placing long tool schemas in the model context and works well for scripts, automation, and small one-shot tasks.
MCP and CLI share the same Sisyphus core call path, preventing one capability from developing different semantics across two entry points.
### MCP 2026-07-28 compatibility
The server uses MCP TypeScript SDK v2. `stdio` automatically serves both protocol eras. HTTP uses the SDK classifier: MCP 2026-07-28 requests are stateless and carry per-request metadata, while 2025-era clients retain the existing isolated `mcp-session-id` sessions. The built-in official-SiYuan MCP bridge negotiates the newest mutually supported era and falls back to legacy automatically.
Modern dangerous calls use MCP multi-round-trip input: the operation is not dispatched until an elicitation-capable client returns explicit approval. Legacy clients keep the existing instruction/help confirmation contract for compatibility. Browser requests are Origin-validated; configure extra allowed hostnames with `SIYUAN_MCP_ALLOWED_ORIGINS`.
## Scenario Skills For Agents
The MCP server includes scenario-oriented guidance for browsing, editing, search, databases, exports, tags, flashcards, document timelines, system safety, and SiYuan markup. A regular MCP client does not need to install anything: it can read `siyuan://skills/index`, then load the matching `siyuan://skills/{name}` resource. For timeline work, load `siyuan://skills/siyuan-mcp-timeline` or invoke the `siyuan_timeline` prompt. The matching MCP prompts are user-invoked workflow starters; they are not applied automatically.
Agents that support installable `SKILL.md` packages can install the same guidance locally:
```bash
siyuan-sisyphus skill install --bundle mcp # MCP calling conventions
siyuan-sisyphus skill install --bundle all # MCP and CLI bundles
```
Plain `siyuan-sisyphus skill install` remains the CLI bundle for backward compatibility. Skills describe workflows and safety decisions; the current parameter source of truth remains `siyuan://help/action/{tool}/{action}` or the corresponding `action="help"` response.
Draft SEP-2640 Skills-over-MCP support is enabled by default for both HTTP and stdio transports and publishes all bundled workflow skills. For the plugin's built-in HTTP server, it can be toggled under Connection Config → HTTP/HTTPS Connection → Skills over MCP; saving restarts the server. Standalone servers can disable it with `SIYUAN_MCP_SKILLS_EXTENSION=false`. The extension advertises `io.modelcontextprotocol/skills`, implements `skills/list` and `skills/get`, and serves digest-addressed `skill://.../SKILL.md` resources. Because SEP-2640 is still a draft, the existing `siyuan://skills/*` resources and prompts remain the stable fallback.
A standalone Codex Agent Plugin wrapper is available in [`agent-plugin/siyuan-sisyphus`](./agent-plugin/siyuan-sisyphus). It connects to the default local HTTP endpoint and packages the same five entry skills; configure HTTP authentication separately when the endpoint requires a bearer token.
## Safety Model
Sisyphus-owned tools are designed around explicit user control:
- each notebook can be read-only, writable, deletable, or hidden from AI;
- dangerous actions such as delete, move, replace, and asset upload are treated separately;
- Strict Safe Writes is enabled by default under Settings → MCP → Settings & Debug. A mutation first uses `validateOnly=true` to obtain the current-state hash, then submits the server-issued `requestId` with the matching `expected*Hash`;
- write transport is attempted once. A timeout or disconnect returns `outcome_unknown` instead of risking a duplicate through a blind retry; a committed `requestId` is replayed from the metadata ledger;
- strict mode creates no SiYuan data snapshots. It relies on target-state hashes, serial coordination, post-write readback, and a hash/ID-only idempotency ledger; notifications, sync, exports, and third-party tools that cannot be read back are explicitly marked as not strictly guaranteed;
- MCP and CLI share the same core behavior, so switching entry points does not create a second permission model;
- remote and Docker use cases go through the SiYuan HTTP API instead of assuming direct access to local workspace files.
See [Strict Safe Writes](./docs/reference/write-safety.md) for the call protocol, error semantics, and current boundaries. Strict writes from the standalone CLI and stdio server are forwarded to the plugin-hosted HTTP server's single coordinator, so that HTTP service must remain enabled. Disabling the setting restores the legacy argument and direct-call behavior, while mutation responses explicitly state that the strict guarantee is absent.
The official MCP bridge is a separate tool source. Forwarded calls execute with the current SiYuan administrator session or API Token and do not automatically inherit the notebook permissions or dangerous-action controls above. Before enabling or invoking them, ensure that the external agent, network environment, and downstream tool are trusted.
## Future Direction And Feedback
The project will focus on improving the complete experience of connecting external agents to SiYuan, including:
- connection configuration and compatibility across popular agent products;
- HTTP, stdio, local, remote, and Docker deployments;
- discovery, synchronization, filtering, and schema footprint of official MCP tools;
- clearer call status, actionable errors, and connection recovery;
- task-oriented Skills, help, and progressive disclosure;
- real-world validation and experience comparisons across agent products.
Bug reports, experience notes, and design suggestions are welcome:
