Silverbullet AI MCP

This plug integrates various LLMs (Large Language Models) into SilverBullet, the markdown-based note taking tool, allowing users to perform various AI-related tasks directly within their notes. It requires SilverBullet to work, and also access to either a self-hosted or SaaS LLM such as Ollama, OpenAI (ChatGPT), Google Gemini, etc. It runs locally over stdio via the published package.

People who work with silverbullet and want it reachable from Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in TypeScript.
