This Model Context Protocol (MCP) server seamlessly integrates Markdown note directories, such as Obsidian vaults, with various MCP-compatible clients like Cursor, VSCode, and Claude Desktop. It offers a comprehensive, read-only toolkit of `obsidian_`-prefixed MCP tools designed to interact with vault metadata, including tags, links, and frontmatter, as well as filenames and full-text content.
