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.
About mcp-obsidian-advanced
ToKiDoO/mcp-obsidian-advanced
Advanced MCP server for interacting with Obsidian via the Local REST API community plugin. It empowers AI agents (like Claude) to deeply understand your vault's structure, links, and content—beyond basic read/write operations.
Leverages the obsidiantools library and NetworkX graph analysis to expose vault topology and bidirectional note relationships as structured data for LLM reasoning. Implements 20+ granular tools spanning file operations, full-text/JsonLogic search, command execution, and vault introspection—with granular tool filtering via `INCLUDE_TOOLS` environment variable. Integrates with Claude Desktop and any MCP-compatible client through the Obsidian Local REST API plugin, communicating over HTTP to a running Obsidian instance.
