Obsidian MCP server

Read and search a local Obsidian vault.

What it does

Points at a vault folder. Fine for personal notes; do not point it at a vault that holds work secrets you would not paste into a chat.

Install

Typical Claude Desktop / Cursor command:

npx -y obsidian-mcp

Secrets it wants: OBSIDIAN_VAULT_PATH

Works with
