Overview
What is OBSIDIAN-MCP-SERVER?
OBSIDIAN-MCP-SERVER is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) Stdio server that allows LLM agents to interact with Obsidian. It provides Python‑based functions for managing Obsidian vaults and files.
How to use OBSIDIAN-MCP-SERVER?
Clone the repository, create a Python virtual environment, install dependencies from requirements.txt, set the OBSIDIAN_VAULT_PATH environment variable to your Obsidian vault path, and run python main.py. You can then invoke JSON‑RPC methods (e.g., create_vault, list_vaults, write_vault_file) via stdio. For Cursor, add a configuration entry with the command pointing to your virtual environment’s Python and the script’s file path.
