Overview
mcp-obsidian is a filesystem-based MCP server for Obsidian vaults, enabling LLMs to browse, search, read, write and edit Markdown notes directly on disk without Obsidian running. Security surface: it has read/write filesystem access to a note vault pointed at by OBSIDIAN_VAULT, so injected instructions could overwrite or exfiltrate personal notes.
Key features
- Direct filesystem access to a vault
- Read, write and edit Markdown notes

- No running Obsidian app required
Use cases
