Overview

This MCP server provides secure access to Obsidian vaults through the Model Context Protocol. It enables AI applications to read notes, perform semantic searches, and execute Obsidian templates while maintaining security. The project consists of an Obsidian plugin and a local MCP server that acts as a secure bridge between your vault and AI clients like Claude Desktop. Despite being archived, it remains a well-documented solution with robust security measures including SLSA-proven binaries.
