An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server providing comprehensive access to your Obsidian vault. Enables LLMs and AI agents to read, write, search, and manage your notes and files through the Obsidian Local REST API plugin.
The Obsidian MCP Server acts as a bridge, allowing applications (MCP Clients) that understand the Model Context Protocol (MCP) – like advanced AI assistants (LLMs), IDE extensions, or custom scripts – to interact directly and safely with your Obsidian vault.
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.
