I saw this tutorial for writing a JSON-RPC server for SWI-Prolog. Unfortunately, all it does is add two numbers. I'm wondering if there exists a RPC server for SWI-Prolog that can define new rules and answer general Prolog queries, returning JSON lists, etc?

When you take a tour on SWI-Prolog website, proudly self-powered, you can see at work some of the features offered by http package.
It's a fairly large range of tools, and to grasp the basic of the system, the easiest way it's to follow the specific How to section, step by step. There is a small bug you should be aware in the LOD Crawler: add an option on line 42 of lod.pl:
...
; rdf_load(URI2, [format(xml)]),
....
or you will probably get
Internal server error
Domain error:
content_type' expected, foundtext/xml;charset=UTF-8'
when running the sample.
An important feature of the IDE it's the ability to debug the HTTP requests.
When done with the HowTo, you can take a look to Cliopatria, dedicated to interfacing RDF to HTML. It come with a pirates demo, I must say I find it a bit too 'crude' for my taste, and I don't know about YUI, used in the award winning MultimediaN project. Then I've used Bootstrap to gain a modern look for the front end, with appreciable result (I'm sorry I can't - yet - publish it, need more time to engineering the system).
