Please. PLEASE backup your Obsidian vault prior to using obsidian-mcp to manage your notes. I recommend using git, but any backup method will work. These tools have been tested, but not thoroughly, and this MCP is in active development.\n\n## Features\n\n- Read and search notes in your vault\n- Create new notes and directories\n- Edit existing notes\n- Move and delete notes\n- Manage tags (add, remove, rename)\n- Search vault contents\n\n## Requirements\n\n- Node.js 20 or higher (might work on lower, but I haven't tested it)\n- An Obsidian vault\n\n## Install\n\n### Installing Manually\n\nAdd to your Claude Desktop configuration:\n\n- macOS: `~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json`\n- Windows: `%APPDATA%\\Claude\\claude_desktop_config.json`\n\n```json\n{\n    \"mcpServers\": {\n        \"obsidian\": {\n            \"command\": \"npx\",\n            \"args\": [\"-y\", \"obsidian-mcp\", \"/path/to/your/vault\", \"/path/to/your/vault2\"]\n        }\n    }\n}\n```\n\nReplace `/path/to/your/vault` with the absolute path to your Obsidian vault. For example:\n\nMacOS/Linux:\n\n```json\n\"/Users/username/Documents/MyVault\"\n```\n\nWindows:\n\n```json\n\"C:\\\\Users\\\\username\\\\Documents\\\\MyVault\"\n```\n\nRestart Claude for Desktop after saving the configuration. You should see the hammer icon appear, indicating the server is connected.\n\nIf you have connection issues, check the logs at:\n\n- MacOS: `~/Library/Logs/Claude/mcp*.log`\n- Windows: `%APPDATA%\\Claude\\logs\\mcp*.log`\n\n\n### Installing via Smithery\nWarning: I am not affiliated with Smithery. I have not tested using it and encourage users to install manually if they can.\n\nTo install Obsidian for Claude Desktop automatically via [Smithery](https://smithery.ai/server/obsidian-mcp):\n\n```bash\nnpx -y @smithery/cli install obsidian-mcp --client claude\n```\n\n## Development\n\n```bash\n# Clone the repository\ngit clone https://github.com/StevenStavrakis/obsidian-mcp\ncd obsidian-mcp\n\n# Install dependencies\nnpm install\n\n# Build\nnpm run build\n```\n\nThen add to your Claude Desktop configuration:\n\n```json\n{\n    \"mcpServers\": {\n        \"obsidian\": {\n            \"command\": \"node\",\n            \"args\": [\"\u003cabsolute-path-to-obsidian-mcp\u003e/build/main.js\", \"/path/to/your/vault\", \"/path/to/your/vault2\"]\n        }\n    }\n}\n```\n\n## Available Tools\n\n- `read-note` - Read the contents of a note\n- `create-note` - Create a new note\n- `edit-note` - Edit an existing note\n- `delete-note` - Delete a note\n- `move-note` - Move a note to a different location\n- `create-directory` - Create a new directory\n- `search-vault` - Search notes in the vault\n- `add-tags` - Add tags to a note\n- `remove-tags` - Remove tags from a note\n- `rename-tag` - Rename a tag across all notes\n- `manage-tags` - List and organize tags\n- `list-available-vaults` - List all available vaults (helps with multi-vault setups)\n\n## Documentation\n\nAdditional documentation can be found in the `docs` directory:\n\n- `creating-tools.md` - Guide for creating new tools\n- `tool-examples.md` - Examples of using the available tools\n\n## Security\n\nThis server requires access to your Obsidian vault directory. When configuring the server, make sure to:\n\n- Only provide access to your intended vault directory\n- Review tool actions before approving them\n\n## Troubleshooting\n\nCommon issues:\n\n1. **Server not showing up in Claude Desktop**\n   - Verify your configuration file syntax\n   - Make sure the vault path is absolute and exists\n   - Restart Claude Desktop\n\n2. **Permission errors**\n   - Ensure the vault path is readable/writable\n   - Check file permissions in your vault\n\n3. **Tool execution failures**\n   - Check Claude Desktop logs at:\n     - macOS: `~/Library/Logs/Claude/mcp*.log`\n     - Windows: `%APPDATA%\\Claude\\logs\\mcp*.log`\n\n## License\n\nMIT\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2FStevenStavrakis%2Fobsidian-mcp","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2FStevenStavrakis%2Fobsidian-mcp","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2FStevenStavrakis%2Fobsidian-mcp/lists"}
