README

Obsidian MCP Server

An MCP server that gives Claude access to your Obsidian vault — read, search, and write notes directly from a conversation.

Prerequisites

Installation

git clone <repo-url>
cd obsidianMCP
npm install
npm run build

Claude Desktop configuration

Add the server to your claude_desktop_config.json:

macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "obsidian": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/absolute/path/to/obsidianMCP/dist/index.js"],
      "env": {
        "OBSIDIAN_VAULT_PATH": "/absolute/path/to/your/vault"
      }
    }
  }
}

Restart Claude Desktop after saving the file.

Available tools

Tool Description
list_notes List all .md files in the vault. Pass an optional directory to scope the listing to a subdirectory.
read_note Return the full content of a note by its vault-relative path (e.g. folder/note.md).
search_notes Case-insensitive full-text search. Returns the matching file path and a snippet (matched line ± 1 line of context) for each hit.
create_note Create a new note. Fails if the file already exists. Intermediate directories are created automatically.
update_note Overwrite an existing note with new content. Fails if the file does not exist.

Security note

Keep OBSIDIAN_VAULT_PATH in the env block of your Claude Desktop config — never hard-code it in the source or commit it to version control. Add a .env file to .gitignore if you use one locally for development.
