# MCP server for Obsidian MCP server to interact with Obsidian via the Local REST API community plugin. <a href="https://glama.ai/mcp/servers/3wko1bhuek"><img width="380" height="200" src="https://glama.ai/mcp/servers/3wko1bhuek/badge" alt="server for Obsidian MCP server" /></a> ## Components ### Tools The server implements multiple tools to interact with Obsidian: - list_files_in_vault: Lists all files and directories in the root directory of your Obsidian vault - list_files_in_dir: Lists all files and directories in a specific Obsidian directory - get_file_contents: Return the content of a single file in your vault. - search: Search for documents matching a specified text query across all files in the vault - patch_content: Insert content into an existing note relative to a heading, block reference, or frontmatter field. - append_content: Append content to a new or existing file in the vault. - delete_file: Delete a file or directory from your vault. ### Example prompts Its good to first instruct Claude to use Obsidian. Then it will always call the tool. The use prompts like this: - Get the contents of the last architecture call note and summarize them - Search for all files where Azure CosmosDb is mentioned and quickly explain to me the context in which it is mentioned - Summarize the last meeting notes and put them into a new note 'summary meeting.md'. Add an introduction so that I can send it via email. ## Configuration ### Obsidian REST API Key There are two ways to configure the environment with the Obsidian REST API Key. 1. Add to server config (preferred) ```json { "mcp-obsidian": { "command": "uvx", "args": [ "mcp-obsidian" ], "env": { "OBSIDIAN_API_KEY": "<your_api_key_here>", "OBSIDIAN_HOST": "<your_obsidian_host>", "OBSIDIAN_PORT": "<your_obsidian_port>" } } } ``` Sometimes Claude has issues detecting the location of uv / uvx. You can use `which uvx` to find and paste the full path in above
