Obsidian MCP Server

Example Use Cases

• 1

  Read and summarize the latest or specific notes in an Obsidian vault (e.g., meeting notes, architecture docs).

• 2

  Search the vault with Dataview or plain-text queries and return contextual excerpts or structured rows.

• 3

  Create, update, or delete notes and execute Obsidian commands programmatically (e.g., generate summaries, append meeting minutes, or manage periodic notes).

Description

This TypeScript + Bun MCP server provides a rich set of tools for reading, searching, creating, editing, and deleting notes in an Obsidian vault by talking to the Obsidian Local REST API plugin. It exposes high-level operations (active note manipulation, file CRUD, periodic notes, Dataview/JsonLogic queries, command execution, and searches) so agents can reason about and modify vault content programmatically. It is intended to be run alongside Claude (or any MCP-compatible LLM) and can be configured via environment variables or an .env file. The project is MIT-licensed and designed for local/self-hosted use.
