A standalone backend server for the Notemd Obsidian plugin, providing AI-powered text processing and knowledge management.
Notemd MCP MCP server exists for a simple reason — assistants are far more useful when they can act on Notemd MCP directly instead of describing what you should do. A standalone backend server for the Notemd Obsidian plugin, providing AI-powered text processing and knowledge management.
Welcome to the Notemd MCP Server! This project provides a powerful, standalone backend server that exposes the core AI-powered text processing and knowledge management functionalities of the Notemd Obsidian Plugin.
Installation goes through your MCP client rather than a global install: point it at execution on npm and it is fetched when the client starts. The copy-paste blocks for Claude Desktop, Claude Code and Cursor are further down this page.
Once Notemd MCP is connected, these are the calls the assistant has available:
ENABLE_STABLE_API_CALL — Boolean to enable/disable stable API calls with retriesAPI_CALL_INTERVAL — Interval in seconds between API call retriesAPI_CALL_MAX_RETRIES — Maximum number of retries for a failed API callEndpoint — MethodPrerequisites — The Prerequisites tool exposed by this serverYou will need 3 environment variables: OPENAI_API_KEY, DEEPSEEK_API_KEY, TAVILY_API_KEY. The server will not start without them, which is usually why the tools fail to appear on a first run. Keep credentials in your client's env block or a secrets manager rather than in a file you might commit.
pip or uv. - For NPX execution: Node.js and npx.Among the knowledge and memory options, the useful question is rarely "what can it do" but "what does it cost you to run" — permissions, credentials, and how much of your context its toolset consumes. Notemd MCP's toolset — ENABLE_STABLE_API_CALL, API_CALL_INTERVAL, API_CALL_MAX_RETRIES and 2 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by Jacobinwwey; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.
SyncDev reviews every entry in this directory against the project's own documentation before publishing, and revisits them as servers change.

A knowledge graph your assistant keeps between sessions — entities, relations and observations that persist.
Kill hallucinated APIs — version-accurate, up-to-date library documentation injected straight into context.
Your workspace, on speaking terms with AI — search, read and write Notion pages and databases.
A structured scratchpad for hard problems — stepwise reasoning with revisions, branches and visible logic.
Symbol-level code navigation, refactoring and memory for coding agents — the IDE brain your assistant has been missing.
Chat with your second brain — search, read and write vault notes through the Local REST API.
