Connects AI models to an Obsidian knowledge base for direct access and manipulation of notes and folders.
Connects AI models to an Obsidian knowledge base for direct access and manipulation of notes and folders.
This project implements a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for connecting AI models with Obsidian knowledge bases. Through this server, AI models can directly access and manipulate Obsidian notes, including reading, creating, updating, and deleting notes, as well as managing folder structures.
Compare MCP servers by category, or browse hosted MCP servers if you prefer an endpoint over a local process.
Check the linked publisher documentation and your connected client's tool list. Names and availability can vary with the server version and account permissions.
