MCP tool to attach an existing folder/git repo as a vault
complete

Tolaria's MCP server (used by AI coding tools like Claude Code) can create and edit notes, search, and read vault context — but there's no way to register a new vault. I generated a full set of notes for a new vault directly on disk, then had no MCP path to make Tolaria pick it up; the only way was going through the GUI (status bar → vault name → "Open local folder").
Feature request: add MCP tools that mirror the vault-switcher's existing actions —
- attach_vault(path) — register an existing local folder, like "Open local folder"
- clone_vault(url) — clone a git repo and register it, like "Clone Git repo"
- (optionally) create_vault(path) — like "Create empty vault"
This would let an agent finish a task end-to-end (e.g. "build me a vault of X") without dropping into desktop/UI automation just for the last step of actually registering it. Bonus: newly attached vaults should show up in list_vaults for the same MCP session without needing a relaunch — right now a long-running MCP connection doesn't notice a vault added elsewhere until it's reopened through the GUI.

This should be available in the latest stable Tolaria release. Thank you for the request!
