Description

This MCP server exposes a directory of Markdown notes (an Obsidian vault) to Model Context Protocol clients so they can read and search notes. It installs via npx and integrates with Claude Desktop and other MCP clients, with examples for VS Code configuration and Smithery installation. The connector is useful for giving LLM agents direct access to local knowledge stored in Markdown files without manual copy/paste.
