Vault Knowledge MCP Server
Read-only MCP server that surfaces contradictions in an Obsidian vault's knowledge graph via semantic search and reasoning edges.
README
vault-knowledge-mcp
A read-only MCP server that turns an Obsidian vault's typed knowledge graph into three tools any MCP client can call. Most knowledge tools can search. Few can tell you where your own notes disagree with each other. This one traverses a six-relation reasoning graph and surfaces the sharpest edge — contradicts. Local-first, stdio, no auth, no cloud, no native build.
The full reasoning lives in docs/EXPLANATION.md.
Tools
| Tool | Returns |
|---|---|
search_concepts(query, limit=5) |
Semantically ranked concept/connection articles. |
find_contradictions(scope='all'|'recent_30d') |
Active contradicts edges from the reasoning graph. |
get_article(slug) |
One article with frontmatter, body, and resolved wikilinks. |
Try it — zero config
Ships with a synthetic espresso vault, so it works the moment it installs.
{
"mcpServers": {
"vault-knowledge": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@swins/vault-knowledge-mcp"] }
}
}
Then ask: "find contradictions in the vault."
Point it at your own vault
{
"mcpServers": {
"vault-knowledge": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@swins/vault-knowledge-mcp"],
"env": {
"VAULT_DB": "/abs/path/.vault-index.db",
"VAULT_ROOT": "/abs/path/vault"
}
}
}
}
Only knowledge/{concepts,connections,qa} is ever readable. Scope is config-only — never a request parameter, so a client can't widen it.
Requirements
Node ≥ 22.5 (built-in node:sqlite). search_concepts downloads the nomic-embed-text-v1.5 model once on first run.
