Obsidian MCP Local

Obsidian MCP Local

Lokaler MCP in Node.js + TypeScript, um Ihren Obsidian-Vault für VS Code + GitHub Copilot verfügbar zu machen.

Er wurde für die lokale Nutzung via stdio entwickelt, mit Fokus auf das Lesen und Schreiben von Markdown-Notizen innerhalb Ihres Vaults.

Install

npm install -g obsidian-mcp-local

Related MCP server: Obsidian MCP Server

Projektstruktur

Voraussetzungen

  • Node.js 20+

  • npm

  • VS Code mit GitHub Copilot

  • ein lokaler Obsidian-Vault

Installation

Im Projektverzeichnis:

npm install
npm run build

Für die Entwicklung:

npm run dev

Um die kompilierte Version auszuführen:

npm start

Verwendung in VS Code

1. Projekt kompilieren

npm install
npm run build

2. MCP-Datei von VS Code anpassen

Kopieren Sie den Inhalt von .vscode/mcp.example.json in Ihre .vscode/mcp.json im Workspace, in dem Sie Copilot verwenden möchten.

Beispiel: bei lokaler Nutzung:

{
  "servers": {
    "obsidian-local-vault": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["C:/caminho/para/obsidian-mcp-local/dist/index.js"],
      "env": {
        "OBSIDIAN_VAULT_PATH": "D:/Obsidian/Vault"
      }
    }
  }
}

bei Nutzung via npx (kein lokaler Build erforderlich):

{
  "servers": {
    "obsidian-local-vault": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "obsidian-mcp-local"],
      "env": {
        "OBSIDIAN_VAULT_PATH": "D:/Obsidian/Vault"
      }
    }
  }
}

3. Pfade aktualisieren

Ersetzen Sie:

  • C:/caminho/para/obsidian-mcp-local/dist/index.js

  • D:/Obsidian/Vault

durch die tatsächlichen Pfade auf Ihrem Rechner.

4. VS Code neu starten/neu laden

Danach sollte Copilot den MCP-Server erkennen.

Anwendungsbeispiele im Copilot Chat

  • „Suche in meinem Vault nach Notizen über .NET“

  • „Öffne die Notiz knowledge/backend/dotnet.md

  • „Erstelle eine Notiz in inbox/ideias-mcp.md mit einer Zusammenfassung dessen, was wir besprochen haben“

  • „Füge am Ende der Notiz daily/2026-04-06.md den Text - testar MCP local hinzu“

  • „Finde Notizen mit dem Tag #arquitetura

Mögliche zukünftige Verbesserungen

  • append_under_heading

  • Parsing von [[wikilinks]]

  • get_backlinks(note)

  • SQLite-Index für schnelle Suche

  • Whitelist von Ordnern für Schreibzugriffe (inbox/, daily/, scratch/)

  • konfigurierbare Schreibsperre für bestimmte Ordner

Wichtige Hinweise

  • Dieses Projekt hängt nicht davon ab, dass Obsidian geöffnet ist.

  • Es arbeitet direkt auf den Dateien des Vaults.

  • Wenn Sie Schreibzugriffe sowohl in Obsidian als auch in VS Code aktivieren, liegt die Kontrolle über die Nebenläufigkeit bei Ihnen.

  • Das Projekt geht derzeit davon aus, dass der Vault ein lokaler Markdown-Ordner ist.

D1/5.0
Behavior1/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

Tool has no description.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness1/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Tool has no description.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness1/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Tool has no description.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters1/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Tool has no description.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose1/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

Tool has no description.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines1/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

Tool has no description.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

C2.1/5.0

Scored across 5 tools

Disambiguation5/5

Each tool name clearly indicates a distinct operation: create, get, append, search, and find by tag. No significant overlap is apparent.

Naming Consistency5/5

All tool names follow a consistent verb_noun pattern in snake_case (e.g., create_note, search_notes), making the set predictable.

Tool Count5/5

Five tools cover essential note operations (create, retrieve, modify, search, tag) without unnecessary bloat or deficiency for the domain.

Completeness3/5

The set includes create, read, update (via append), and search operations but lacks a delete operation, which is a notable gap for a complete CRUD surface.
