Poetry MCP Server

# Poetry MCP Templates ## Important: BASE File Format Obsidian BASE files **must be created and populated through the Obsidian UI**. The template BASE files provided here contain only the `views:` configuration. They define the table structure but contain no data entries. ## Setup Process 1. **Initialize directory structure** (automated): ```bash poetry-mcp init ~/Documents/Poetry --template=comprehensive ``` This creates folders and empty BASE files. 2. **Open in Obsidian** (manual): - Open your Poetry directory in Obsidian - Navigate to each BASE file - Click "Add row" to populate entries 3. **Run form detection** (automated): ```bash cd ~/Documents/Poetry python3 scripts/add_poem_frontmatter.py --dry-run # Preview python3 scripts/add_poem_frontmatter.py # Run ``` ## Templates ### Comprehensive Full system with all BASE files: - `nexus.base` - Themes, motifs, forms - `qualities.base` - 12 quality dimensions - `venues.base` - Submission venues - `influences.base` - Writers, movements - `techniques.base` - Generative methods - `catalog.base` - Poem registry ### Starter Minimal system for learning: - 5 core themes - 5 essential qualities - Empty venues/influences/techniques ### Custom Blank slate with guidance comments. ## Why Manual Population? Obsidian BASE has a strict YAML parser that doesn't accept programmatically generated data entries. The `---` separator format must be created through the Obsidian UI to ensure proper formatting. Once populated, the MCP server can read and query these BASE files programmatically.
