obsidian-mcp-and-rest
Two ways to expose an Obsidian vault as an MCP server. Each is a self-contained project in its own folder.
obsidian-plugin/
An Obsidian plugin that runs an MCP server inside Obsidian itself (binds to 127.0.0.1, Streamable HTTP transport). No Docker, no separate process — just toggle it on in Obsidian. Requires Obsidian to be running.
Related MCP server: obsidian-mcp
standalone-mcp-server/
A standalone, Dockerized MCP server that doesn't need Obsidian running. It
clones a vault's git repo, exposes it over the same kind of MCP tool
surface, and adds git tools (git_commit, git_push, git_pull) plus a
small web UI for configuring the repo connection and checking status.
Meant for running on a home server / Portainer.
This server cannot be deployed
