Obsidian Vault MCP Server

About

Access Obsidian vaults via Local REST API - read, search, and interact with notes

Use this server

Add it to your MCP client. The catalogue lists this config verbatim from its source — it does not run, download, or vouch for the server. Review the command before you run it.
