obsidian-mcp

An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that lets AI coding agents (Claude Code, Codex CLI, etc.) read, write, search, and organize notes in an Obsidian vault. It works directly on the filesystem, so Obsidian doesn't need to be running — Obsidian picks up external changes automatically.

Community project — not affiliated with Obsidian.

Setup

git clone https://github.com/Mochiduki-0715/obsidian-mcp.git
cd obsidian-mcp
npm install
npm run build

Configuration is done through environment variables:

Variable	Description	Default
`OBSIDIAN_VAULT_PATH`	Absolute path to your vault folder	(required)
`OBSIDIAN_DAILY_DIR`	Folder for daily notes, relative to the vault root	`Daily`

Registering with agents

Claude Code

claude mcp add --scope user obsidian \
  --env OBSIDIAN_VAULT_PATH=$HOME/path/to/your/vault \
  -- node /path/to/obsidian-mcp/dist/index.js

Codex CLI

Add to ~/.codex/config.toml:

[mcp_servers.obsidian]
command = "node"
args = ["/path/to/obsidian-mcp/dist/index.js"]

[mcp_servers.obsidian.env]
OBSIDIAN_VAULT_PATH = "/path/to/your/vault"

Tools

Tool	Description
`list_notes`	List notes, newest first; optionally restricted to a subfolder
`read_note`	Read a note, returning parsed frontmatter and the markdown body
`create_note`	Create a note (pass `overwrite: true` to replace an existing one)
`append_note`	Append text; with `heading`, insert at the end of that section
`edit_note`	Edit by exact string replacement (`old_text` / `new_text`)
`search_notes`	Case-insensitive full-text search, with an optional `tag` filter
`move_note`	Move/rename a note and rewrite `[[wikilinks]]` across the vault
`delete_note`	Move a note to the vault's `.trash/` folder (safe delete)
`daily_note`	Get or create the daily note for today or a given date

Safety

Every path is resolved inside the vault root; .. escapes are rejected
Deleting moves notes to Obsidian's standard .trash/ folder instead of removing them
create_note never silently overwrites an existing note (an explicit flag is required)
