Code Review
This pull request updates the create_record tool to include the referenceURL of the newly created record in its response. The changes involve adding the referenceURL property to the tool's return type interfaces and ensuring the JXA script captures and returns this value from the DEVONthink record. I have no feedback to provide as there are no review comments.

Summary
This PR adds the
referenceURLfield to thecreate_recordresponse, returning the DEVONthink item link (x-devonthink-item://UUID) alongside the existinguuidfield.Motivation
When automating workflows that span multiple applications, the
referenceURLis essential for creating cross-app links. Common use cases include:Currently, users must either:
get_record_properties(wasteful, adds latency)This small change eliminates that friction entirely.
Changes
// src/tools/createRecord.ts { success: true, recordId: newRecord.id(), name: newRecord.name(), - uuid: newRecord.uuid() + uuid: newRecord.uuid(), + referenceURL: newRecord.referenceURL() }Testing
Tested with all record types:
Example response:
{ "success": true, "recordId": 14974, "name": "My Document", "uuid": "98B409E8-A58A-48AE-8EF2-29D3BFC79750", "referenceURL": "x-devonthink-item://98B409E8-A58A-48AE-8EF2-29D3BFC79750" }The returned URLs were verified to open the correct record in DEVONthink via
open "x-devonthink-item://...".Backward Compatibility
This is a purely additive change. Existing integrations continue to work unchanged—they simply gain access to an additional field.
Thanks for maintaining this excellent MCP server! 🙏
