About mcp-obsidian
fazer-ai/mcp-obsidian
MCP server for Obsidian (TypeScript + Bun)
Exposes 20+ tools for Claude to read, write, and search Obsidian vaults via the Local REST API plugin, including note CRUD operations, periodic note management, Dataview/JsonLogic querying, and command execution. Implements MCP over stdio with environment-based authentication, deployable via `bunx` directly into Claude Desktop or compatible LLM clients. Supports both active note manipulation and arbitrary file operations across the vault with fine-grained content patching (headings, block references, frontmatter).

MCP server for Obsidian vault management - enables Claude and other AI assistants to read, write, search, and organize your notes
Implements MCP over Server-Sent Events (SSE) transport for remote vault access without local installation, alongside stdio mode for direct integration. Provides granular operations including section-level editing, YAML frontmatter manipulation, regex find-and-replace, and backlink detection, with optional compact response mode to reduce token consumption by 40-60% for large vaults.
