Runs obsidian <args...> directly against the Obsidian CLI (requires Obsidian to be open with CLI support enabled). Use this for anything not covered by the dedicated tools below, e.g.: ["files", "folder=Projects"] ["folders", "format=tree"] ["links", "file=My Note"] ["unresolved"] ["orphans"] ["tags:rename", "old=meeting", "new=meetings"] ["plugin:enable", "id=dataview"] ["publish:list"] ["sync:status"] ["history", "file=My Note"] Each element is one whitespace-free CLI token, exactly as you'd type it after obsidian (key=value for parameters, e.g. "file=My Note", and --flag for booleans). CAUTION: this also gives access to developer commands like eval= and dev:* which can run arbitrary JavaScript inside the user's Obsidian app or inspect its UI -- only use those when the user explicitly asks for them. Set OBSIDIAN_MCP_DISABLE_EXEC=1 in the server's environment to remove this tool entirely and keep only the curated tools below.
