Wait a few minutes for the server to deploy. Once ready, it will show a "Started" state.
In the chat, type
@followed by the MCP server name and your instructions, e.g., "@Obsidian Dictionary MCP Server search for the term 'Redux' in my technical glossary"
That's it! The server will respond to your query, and you can continue using it as needed.
Here is a step-by-step guide with screenshots.
Obsidian Dictionary MCP Server
Obsidian vault 안에서 기술 용어 사전을 관리하기 위한 MCP 서버입니다.
설치 및 설정
1. 빌드
cd obsidian-dictionary-mcp
npm install
npm run build2. Claude Desktop 설정
~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json 파일을 열고 다음을 추가하세요:
{
"mcpServers": {
"dict": {
"command": "node",
"args": [
"/path/to/obsidian-dictionary-mcp/dist/index.js",
"--glossary-path",
"/path/to/your/ObsidianVault/Glossary/개발용어사전.md"
]
}
}
}3. Claude Code (CLI) 설정
Claude Code CLI에서 사용하려면 두 가지 방법 중 하나를 선택하세요:
방법 A: 프로젝트별 설정 (권장)
프로젝트 루트에 .mcp.json 파일을 생성:
{
"mcpServers": {
"dict": {
"command": "node",
"args": [
"/path/to/obsidian-dictionary-mcp/dist/index.js",
"--glossary-path",
"/path/to/your/ObsidianVault/Glossary/개발용어사전.md"
]
}
}
}방법 B: 전역 설정
~/.claude/settings.json 파일에 추가:
{
"mcpServers": {
"dict": {
"command": "node",
"args": [
"/path/to/obsidian-dictionary-mcp/dist/index.js",
"--glossary-path",
"/path/to/your/ObsidianVault/Glossary/개발용어사전.md"
]
}
}
}중요: 설정 파일을 생성하거나 수정한 후에는 Claude Code를 재시작해야 변경 사항이 적용됩니다. MCP 서버는 Claude Code가 시작될 때 설정을 읽어서 실행되기 때문입니다.

Scored across 4 tools
Each tool has a clearly distinct purpose: adding, retrieving, listing, and searching entries. There is no overlap in functionality.
All tool names follow a consistent verb_noun pattern with underscores (append_entry, get_entry, list_terms, search_entry), making them predictable and easy to understand.
With 4 tools, the set is appropriately scoped for a dictionary server. It covers essential operations (add, read, list, search) though it misses update and delete, which would be natural additions.
The tool surface covers adding, retrieving, listing, and checking existence, but notably lacks update and delete operations, which are common in dictionary management. This may be intentional but leaves gaps for full lifecycle management.
