20 Best Obsidian MCP Servers, Compared (August 2026)

Updated 20 of 552 Obsidian servers in the Glama registryRebuilt weekly

The short answer

Most readers should reach for obsidian-local-rest-api. It is a Community favourite with 2,775 GitHub stars, 88 commits in the last 12 weeks, and a commit 19 days ago, and it gives AI agents direct access to a vault for reading, writing, searching notes, and executing commands. If you only want to let Claude or Cursor search and read notes without any write capability, SoloMD is the better answer because its bundled stdio MCP server is read-only.

Whichever you choose, give it the narrowest access that still works — a read-only credential, a replica, a scratch account — and widen it only once you have watched what your agent actually asks for.

Glama operates the MCP registry these numbers are measured from, and sells MCP hosting and a gateway. No position on this page is paid for. How the registry is built.

The ranking, with the evidence

Each position is a weighted mean of adoption (40%), maintenance (24%), momentum (14%), tool description quality (13%) and trust (9%), multiplied by three attenuators: how directly the server is about Obsidian — named for it, declaring it, tagged with it, or merely mentioning it — whether its repository is still moving, and how much independent evidence of adoption it has. Open the score on any entry to see every number, including the ones marked ≈, which were imputed from the median of the other candidates rather than measured. The maintenance grade on each entry is mostly issue responsiveness, release recency and open security alerts rather than commits, so a recent commit beside a low grade is two different measurements rather than a contradiction.

  • Abandoned but popular — People use it, but its default branch has stopped moving. Fine to keep running, risky to adopt.
  • Community favourite — Widely adopted and still actively maintained.
  • Dormant — Neither changing nor widely adopted. Here because it still matches the search.
  • Emerging — Small audience, growing quickly, maintained. The bet with the most upside.
  • Steady — Maintained, modest audience, no surprises in either direction.

    obsidian-local-rest-api

    Community favourite
    coddingtonbear/obsidian-local-rest-api ↗

    Best for: Obsidian users who need a local, authenticated MCP endpoint for AI agents, with full vault CRUD, search, and command execution.

    The server exposes REST and MCP interfaces for reading, writing, patching, searching, and executing commands in an Obsidian vault. It requires an API key and a self-signed certificate, with an optional plain HTTP endpoint, so set-up assumes Obsidian is installed and running.

    Obsidian MCP Server

    Community favourite
    cyanheads/obsidian-mcp-server ↗

    Best for: Managing an Obsidian vault programmatically—reading, writing, searching, and editing notes, tags, and frontmatter via MCP.

    The server exposes an MCP interface to an Obsidian vault, with tools that read, write, list, search, edit, and delete notes, manage tags and frontmatter, and execute Obsidian commands. Before installing, note that it requires an Obsidian API key (OBSIDIAN_API_KEY) to authenticate requests.

    obsidian-mcp

    Community favourite
    StevenStavrakis/obsidian-mcp ↗

    Best for: Local Obsidian vaults that need safe, transactional AI-assisted editing — it provides etag-based concurrency and atomic file mutations.

    It exposes stdio tools for reading, creating, editing, deleting, moving, searching, and tagging notes in explicitly configured Obsidian vaults. The one prerequisite to know: Node.js 22 or newer and each vault must already contain an .obsidian directory, configured by absolute path.

    MCP server for Obsidian

    Abandoned but popular
    MarkusPfundstein/mcp-obsidian ↗

    Best for: Users who need to patch existing Obsidian notes precisely via headings, block references, or frontmatter fields

    It exposes tools for listing, reading, searching, writing, and deleting files in an Obsidian vault, all through the Local REST API community plugin. It requires that plugin to be installed and its API key configured, and assumes a basic understanding of Obsidian's REST API setup.

    Semantic Notes Vault MCP

    Community favourite
    aaronsb/obsidian-mcp-plugin ↗

    Best for: Obsidian users who need AI assistants to navigate and query a vault as a semantic graph—it runs in-app and installs via drag-and-drop.

    It exposes MCP tools for reading, writing, searching, and traversing vault content via an HTTP server that runs inside Obsidian. Before choosing it, note that it requires an API key and that Obsidian remain open for the server to respond.

    obsidian-hybrid-search

    Community favourite
    flowing-abyss/obsidian-hybrid-search ↗

    Best for: AI assistants that need to find and read notes from a local Obsidian vault — it indexes notes and exposes hybrid full-text/fuzzy/semantic search.

    The README documents an MCP server that indexes Obsidian notes and exposes tool calls for searching and reading them, with hybrid, semantic, fulltext, and title modes. Worth knowing: semantic search depends on an embedding model, local by default or an optional OpenAI-compatible API.

    Obsidian Vault MCP

    Emerging
    luffysolution-svg/obsidian-vault-mcp ↗

    Best for: Academic literature workflows in Obsidian — it imports Zotero items and parses PDFs through MinerU.

    It reads Zotero items, parses PDFs via MinerU, and writes them into Obsidian's literature structure. It requires Zotero Desktop with its local API enabled and assumes MinerU is available as the parsing service.

    Obsidian Sync MCP

    Steady
    es617/obsidian-sync-mcp ↗

    Best for: Always-on AI access to an Obsidian vault — it reads via Self-hosted LiveSync's CouchDB, so agents work even when your machine is off.

    The server exposes MCP tools over HTTP, reading vault content either directly from a local folder or from a CouchDB database kept in sync by the Self-hosted LiveSync plugin. It depends on either a local vault path or an existing LiveSync/CouchDB setup, and for off-machine access it must be deployed to a server such as Docker or Fly.io.

    Nexus MCP for Obsidian

    Steady
    ProfSynapse/nexus ↗

    Best for: Obsidian users wanting both native chat and external MCP agents — it supports in-app chat, MCP connector, and local CLI.

    Nexus is an Obsidian plugin whose README documents native in-app chat, external MCP client access via a generated connector, a local nexus CLI bridge, semantic search, workspace memory, skills, web capture, and data analysis. A key constraint is that external MCP clients, semantic search, ingestion, data analysis, and composer are desktop-only; mobile is limited to native chat, memory, tasks, skills, and web capture.

    obsidian-vault-mcp

    Emerging
    bepitulaz/obsidian-multivault-mcp ↗

    Best for: VPS-hosted Obsidian vaults for multiple users — maps each login to its own vault over SSH stdio or OAuth HTTP, with read/write tools.

    Its README documents read and write tools for vault-relative notes and two transports: stdio over SSH for Claude Desktop and an OAuth-protected Streamable HTTP endpoint for remote clients. It assumes you run it on a VPS with Node 20+; Claude Desktop's ssh command must authenticate non-interactively, and HTTP mode needs a public HTTPS URL plus OAuth environment variables.

    basic-memory

    Community favourite
    basicmachines-co/basic-memory ↗

    Best for: Building a persistent, searchable knowledge base from AI conversations — it offers full CRUD and semantic search over local Markdown notes.

    This server stores knowledge as Markdown files and exposes 17 tools covering create, read, update, move, search, and delete operations, plus canvas and project-management utilities. Before choosing it, note that local installs require Python and the uv package manager, and a paid cloud tier adds sync and collaboration features.

    Vault as MCP

    Steady
    ebullient/obsidian-vault-mcp ↗

    Best for: When an LLM client needs to read, search, create, and modify notes in a desktop Obsidian vault over HTTP.

    This Obsidian plugin runs an MCP server that exposes tools for reading, searching, creating, and modifying notes, with HTTP transport and an optional stdio bridge for Claude Desktop. It requires a desktop Obsidian installation with the plugin enabled, and the stdio bridge additionally needs Node.js 18+.

    MegaMem

    Emerging
    C-Bjorn/MegaMem ↗

    Best for: AI assistants needing persistent memory across conversations — it syncs Obsidian notes to a temporal knowledge graph and exposes read, search, and write MCP tools.

    MegaMem syncs Obsidian notes into a temporal knowledge graph and exposes MCP tools for graph operations (adding memories, searching entities and facts, retrieving episodes, managing edges) and vault file operations via the Obsidian CLI. Before choosing it, note that it depends on an external graph database (Neo4j or FalkorDB) and an LLM provider for extraction, so it is not a zero-dependency setup.

Questions people ask

obsidian-local-rest-api or MarkusPfundstein/mcp-obsidian?

obsidian-local-rest-api is the more active choice: it is a Community favourite with 2,775 stars, 88 commits in the last 12 weeks, and a commit 19 days ago. MarkusPfundstein/mcp-obsidian is marked Abandoned but popular, has 13 tools, and its tool descriptions are graded A; it is aimed at patching existing notes by headings, block references, or frontmatter fields.

What do MCP server for Obsidian and MCP Obsidian Server require before they run?

Both are designed to talk to Obsidian through the Local REST API community plugin, so that plugin is required. MCP Obsidian Server (fazer-ai/mcp-obsidian) also supports executing Obsidian commands and Dataview queries through that plugin.

Which server should I use for read-only semantic search?

SoloMD is the read-only option: its bundled stdio MCP server provides local semantic search, read, and list. Semantic Notes Vault MCP also adds semantic search and graph navigation, but it runs in-app and supports content operations, so it is not limited to read-only.

Which server exposes the most tools?

Among the servers with measured tool counts, obsidian-mcp-pro has 41 tools, which is more than basic-memory's 17, NoteDiscovery MCP Server's 18, and MCP server for Obsidian's 13. It also has tool descriptions graded A.

What should I be careful about when giving an agent write access?

If you want no edits, choose a read-only server such as SoloMD, which only exposes local semantic search, read, and list. For write access with safeguards, StevenStavrakis/obsidian-mcp says it provides etag-based concurrency and atomic file mutations, and MCPVault states safe frontmatter handling and write protection.
