Feature request: Way to specify the http api endpoint

Have you read a contributing guide?

Clear and concise description of the problem

The anytype-cli starts the http server on port 31012, but anytype-mcp looks for 31009. It would be great to be able to specify the endpoint through an environment variable.

Claude code brute-forces the API

Current Behavior

Claude code does not know how to call the API correctly and sometimes just tries to brute force the API so that it finally gets what it wants. This seems wasteful and a bit of an antipattern as it can result in batch op

Support inserting/updating Relation blocks in object body, not only markdown/properties

Feature request

Please add MCP support for inserting and updating real Anytype Relation blocks inside an object's page body.

Currently, the MCP/REST wrapper can read and update objects, object properties, types, and markdown body content. However, there does not appear to be a tool/API operation for inserting an actual editable Relation block into the object body.

This makes it impossible for an MCP client to reproduce the common Anytype template layout where relation fields are shown at

file-upload fails with gRPC ECONNREFUSED when Anytype desktop is running

Description

When using file-upload tool to upload local files (images) to a space, the gRPC connection fails with ECONNREFUSED 127.0.0.1:37355 even though the Anytype desktop app appears to be running.

The REST API works fine (e.g., API-create-object succeeds), but the gRPC-based file-upload fails.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Have Anytype desktop app running
  2. Use file-upload with a valid space_id and local_path to a JPEG image
  3. Observe error

### CLI 'get-key' fails with 404 — uses deprecated endpoints

## Bug

The `npx @anyproto/anytype-mcp get-key` command fails with:

Authentication error: Request failed with status code 404 Error: Failed to start authentication


## Root Cause

In `src/auth/get-key.ts`, `startAuthentication()` calls `POST /v1/auth/display_code` which no longer exists:

```typescript
const response = await axios.post(`${this.basePath}/v1/auth/display_code`, null, {
  params: { app_name: this.appName },
});

And completeAuthentication() calls POST /v1/auth/token
