Obsidian Tasks

About

The Obsidian Tasks MCP Server is a standalone Go application designed to parse and query tasks embedded within your Obsidian vault's markdown files. It implements a subset of the powerful query filters from the official Obsidian Tasks plugin, providing a robust solution for accessing and filtering your tasks programmatically. This server operates independently, communicating via the MCP protocol over stdin/stdout, making it ideal for integration into development environments or other tools like Cursor for enhanced task management workflows.
