Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

siyuan-mcp-browse-read scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 12d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 65 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Browse and Read SiYuan with MCP

Start with fs and human-readable paths. Drop to document or block actions only when IDs, storage paths, metadata, or block structure are required.

Discovery workflow

notebook(action="list")
fs(action="ls", path="/")
fs(action="tree", path="/Notebook/Folder", maxDepth=4)
fs(action="read", path="/Notebook/Folder/Doc", blockStart=0, blockLimit=50, tokenBudget=2000)

Use search-assisted discovery when the path is unknown:

fs(action="search", path="/Notebook", query="keyword", page=1, pageSize=20)
search(action="fulltext", query="keyword", page=1, pageSize=20)

Low-level reads

document(action="lookup", id="<doc-id>", include=["path","hpath","notebook"])
document(action="get_doc", id="<doc-id>", mode="markdown")
block(action="get_kramdown", id="<block-id>")

If the Markdown contains an assets/... image and the task depends on its visual content, a vision-capable client should read one relevant image directly:

file(action="read_image", id="<doc-id>", path="assets/question.png")

Provide either the document ID or its human-readable documentPath, never both. The server authorizes that document and verifies its direct image reference before returning an image content block. MCP clients receive the image directly; CLI default output shows metadata, while explicit --json retains the non-text block for scripts. Do not inline every image during ordinary document reads. Stored OCR is only a fallback when direct vision is unavailable.

Path semantics

Value Example Typical use
Workspace path /Notebook/Folder/Doc fs actions
Notebook-local hpath /Folder/Doc document create or lookup with notebook
Storage path /20260712123000-abc123.sy low-level rename, remove, or move

Never derive a storage path from a title. Resolve the document first and reuse the returned path. For fs.read and Markdown document.get_doc, treat hasNextWindow=true as incomplete data and continue with the returned nextWindow. For list and search results, continue with explicit page and pageSize values.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
