obsidian-mcp-tools
MCP Tools for Obsidian enables AI applications to securely access and work with your Obsidian vault.
This plugin consists of two parts: an Obsidian plugin that adds MCP capabilities to your vault and a local MCP server that handles communication with AI applications. When you install this plugin, it will help you set up both components. The MCP server acts as a secure bridge between your vault and AI applications like Claude Desktop. This means AI assistants can read your notes, execute templates, and perform semantic searches.
