Give AI agents access to your Obsidian vault via local files or Self-hosted LiveSync.
Give AI agents access to your Obsidian vault via local files or Self-hosted LiveSync.
Give any AI agent access to your Obsidian vault over MCP. Run it locally against your vault files, or pair it with Self-hosted LiveSync and deploy to the cloud so it works even when your machine is off.
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.
