The Obsidian MCP Module provides an MCP server for reading and interacting with Obsidian vaults, enabling features like searching and retrieving notes.

Obsidian MCP Module

This module provides an MCP server for reading Obsidian vaults.

Currently both MCP tools and resources exist for accessing notes since some clients only support one or the other (VS Code only support tools).

Features

  • search-notes: Search notes by topic
  • get-note: Retrieve note contents

Installation

The Obsidian Metadata Extractor plugin needs to be enabled in order to create the metadata.json file this MCP server uses.

VS Code

You'll need to add a .vscode/mcp.json file to your workspace. Or you can set it up so all workspaces have access: https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/copilot/chat/mcp-servers.
