About obsidian-mcp-server
cyanheads/obsidian-mcp-server
Obsidian Knowledge-Management MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that enables AI agents and development tools to interact with an Obsidian vault. It provides a comprehensive suite of tools for reading, writing, searching, and managing notes, tags, and frontmatter, acting as a bridge to the Obsidian Local REST API plugin.
Implements a modular TypeScript architecture leveraging stdio transport for MCP communication with automatic reconnection, backed by an intelligent in-memory vault cache that provides fallback search functionality if the REST API becomes unavailable. Supports flexible file targeting (by path, active note, or periodic notes) and atomic frontmatter operations, with structured logging, Zod validation, and optional HTTP transport via Hono for alternative deployment scenarios.

simple mcp server for interacting with local obsidian notes
Implements MCP (Model Context Protocol) compliance with direct file system access to Obsidian vaults—eliminating the requirement for the Obsidian app to run. Features advanced search with regex and boolean operators, metadata parsing (frontmatter and inline tags), resource links for HATEOAS navigation, and MOC discovery for vault structure mapping. Integrates with Claude Desktop and works with obsidian.nvim setups via stdio transport with security-first design including path traversal prevention.
