✨ [Enhancement] Adopt uv workspace for local monorepo development (graphiti-core, mcp_server, server)

[MumuTW]

🗂️ Background

Currently, the graphiti project is split into multiple subprojects (graphiti_core, mcp_server, server), but there is no workspace configuration.
This forces local development to rely on hardcoded file:// paths or manual pip install -e ...

---

✅ What I expected

• A proper uv workspace or poetry workspace at the repo root.
• All submodules should declare [tool.uv.sources] with workspace = true for local modules.
• Local graphiti_core changes should automatically propagate to mcp_server and server without needing repeated reinstalls.

---

⚡ What actually happens

• Local development requires hardcoding absolute file:// paths to the local graphiti-core in each pyproject.toml.
• This breaks PEP 508 compliance if the path is not portable across machines.
• Developers have to run uv sync --reinstall frequently to fix mismatched builds.

---

🧩 Proposed solution

Add a workspace definition at the repo root:

[tool.uv.workspace]
members = [".", "mcp_server", "server"]

In each member’s pyproject.toml, declare:

[tool.uv.sources]
graphiti-core = { workspace = true }

Document this in README.md or CONTRIBUTING.md.

🙌 Benefits

• Zero hardcoding.
• Faster dev iteration.
• Fully PEP 508-compliant.
• Better DX for new contributors.

✨ Extra context

I tested this locally and confirmed:

• uv sync correctly resolves the local core package.
• mcp_server and server immediately see code changes in graphiti_core.
• No more Failed to generate package metadata errors.

Happy to send a PR if you want! Just let me know if you prefer uv workspace or poetry workspace. 🫶

I agree...how do we get more support on this recommendation?
