Obsidian FAQs

Question 1

Does this server support searching within my Obsidian vault?

Accepted Answer

Yes! The server supports searching using Dataview queries, JSON logic, and plain-text fuzzy search, giving you flexible options for finding the information you need.

Question 2

What can I do with this tool?

Accepted Answer

You can automate note management tasks, execute Obsidian commands directly through the LLM, search your vault using various methods, and manage periodic notes. Essentially, you can have an LLM act as an intelligent assistant for your Obsidian vault.

Question 3

What is the Obsidian MCP Server?

Accepted Answer

It's a Model-Context-Protocol (MCP) server that allows Claude (or other MCP-compatible LLMs) to interact with your Obsidian vault through the Local REST API. This enables your LLM to create, modify, delete, and retrieve notes.

Question 4

What are some example prompts I can use?

Accepted Answer

Some examples include summarizing recent meeting notes, finding mentions of specific topics within your vault, or automatically creating summary notes and saving them with relevant filenames.

Question 5

How do I configure the Obsidian MCP Server?

Accepted Answer

You need to provide the Obsidian API key, obtainable from the Local REST API plugin settings in Obsidian. You can pass it via the `env` field in your Claude MCP-server declaration or use an `.env` file.
