Obsidian
Accesses and manages Obsidian notes directly from the file system, providing a secure Model Context Protocol (MCP) server interface.
About
Obsidian provides a robust Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that interacts directly with your Obsidian vault files on disk, eliminating the need for the Obsidian application to be running. This design ensures compatibility with various setups, including AI tools like Claude Desktop and CLI-centric workflows such as `obsidian.nvim`. It offers comprehensive features for secure note management, including advanced search with context snippets and highlighting, metadata extraction, and innovative Maps of Content (MOC) discovery to help you quickly understand and navigate your vault's knowledge structure.
Key Features
- Security-first design with path traversal prevention and input validation

- Rich search capabilities including regex, tags, and context snippets
- MCP Resource links for HATEOAS-style discovery and direct note access
- 2 GitHub stars
- Direct file system access to Obsidian vaults, no Obsidian app required
Use Cases
- Integrating local Obsidian vaults with AI assistants like Claude Desktop for conversational knowledge access.
- Providing Obsidian-like features and note interaction in environments without the Obsidian app, such as Neovim.
- Programmatically searching, managing, and exploring the organizational structure of an Obsidian knowledge base.
