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.

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.
