Generally speaking, you can run the calibre server from the command line without needing to use the calibre GUI. Personally, I do not recommend this if you are also using the GUI on the same machine since you will need to stop the server before running the GUI (see warnings about the calibre database not being multiple-user safe). If you have a single computer, run the GUI and enable the server from it's preferences. This will let you modify your library without problems.
I do run the server standalone but it is on a different computer. Around 3 AM. a scheduled task shuts down the server, replaces the library with an updated copy synced from the main computer and then restarts the server.
