MCP server for AI assistants to interact with Obsidian vaults
MCP server for AI assistants to interact with Obsidian vaults. The obsidian mcp server wraps that behind the Model Context Protocol, so an assistant can use it through 12 defined tools rather than through you.
An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that enables AI assistants to interact with Obsidian vaults, providing tools for reading, creating, editing and managing notes and tags.
@smithery/cli on npm is all you need. Most clients run it directly, so configuration is a few lines and a restart.
Everything the assistant can do here goes through one of these:
read-note — Read the contents of a notecreate-note — Create a new noteedit-note — Edit an existing notedelete-note — Delete a notemove-note — Move a note to a different locationcreate-directory — Create a new directorysearch-vault — Search notes in the vaultadd-tags — Add tags to a noteremove-tags — Remove tags from a noterename-tag — Rename a tag across all notesmanage-tags — List and organize tagslist-available-vaults — List all available vaults (helps with multi-vault setups)This sits in the planning and project tracking group, where several servers overlap in what they claim to do but differ sharply once you actually set them up. Obsidian's toolset — read-note, create-note, edit-note and 9 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by steve_s; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.
We check each listing at SyncDev against the project's documentation before it goes live — if something here drifts out of date, it is a bug worth reporting.
