Obsidian tasks MCP server
Connect Obsidian Tasks to Claude, Cursor or any other MCP client and it stops being a tab you switch to. Obsidian tasks MCP server. The obsidian tasks mcp server is what makes that connection.
A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for extracting and querying Obsidian Tasks from markdown files. Designed to work with Claude via the MCP protocol to enable AI-assisted task management.
The toolset is worth reading before you wire it up, because it tells you what the integration is really for:
list_all_tasks — Extracts all tasks from markdown files in a directory, recursively scanning through subfoldersquery_tasks — Searches for tasks based on Obsidian Tasks query syntax. Applies multiple filters to find matching tasksInstallation — The Installation tool exposed by this serverTesting — See TESTING.md for detailed information about the test suiteInstallation goes through your MCP client rather than a global install: point it at without 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.
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 Tasks's toolset — list_all_tasks, query_tasks, Installation and 1 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by jfim; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.
