Vault Connector for Obsidian

A local MCP connector that lets Claude read, write and search any Obsidian vault. It works directly with the Markdown files on disk — no community plugins, and Obsidian does not need to be running.

Independent project, not affiliated with or endorsed by Obsidian. "Obsidian" is a trademark of Dynalist Inc.

All access is sandboxed to the single vault folder you configure; the server refuses any path that would escape it.
