Instalación
En el directorio del proyecto:
npm install
npm run buildPara desarrollo:
npm run devPara ejecutar la versión compilada:
npm startCómo usar en VS Code
1. Compila el proyecto
npm install
npm run build2. Ajusta el archivo MCP de VS Code
Copia el contenido de .vscode/mcp.example.json a tu .vscode/mcp.json en el espacio de trabajo donde vayas a usar Copilot.
Ejemplo: utilizando localmente:
{
"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"
}
}
}
}utilizando vía npx (sin necesidad de build local):
{
"servers": {
"obsidian-local-vault": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "obsidian-mcp-local"],
"env": {
"OBSIDIAN_VAULT_PATH": "D:/Obsidian/Vault"
}
}
}
}3. Actualiza las rutas
Sustituye:
C:/caminho/para/obsidian-mcp-local/dist/index.jsD:/Obsidian/Vault
por las rutas reales de tu máquina.
4. Reinicia/recarga VS Code
Después de esto, Copilot debería descubrir el servidor MCP.

Observaciones importantes
Este proyecto no depende de que Obsidian esté abierto.
Opera directamente sobre los archivos del vault.
Si habilitas la escritura tanto en Obsidian como en VS Code, el control de concurrencia queda bajo tu responsabilidad.
El proyecto actualmente asume que el vault es una carpeta Markdown local.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

TDQS
Scored across 5 tools
Each tool name clearly indicates a distinct operation: create, get, append, search, and find by tag. No significant overlap is apparent.
All tool names follow a consistent verb_noun pattern in snake_case (e.g., create_note, search_notes), making the set predictable.
Five tools cover essential note operations (create, retrieve, modify, search, tag) without unnecessary bloat or deficiency for the domain.
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.
