Obsidian MCP enables AI assistants to interact with Obsidian vaults through the Local REST API plugin. Built by Takuya Tokiwa, it provides tools for reading notes, listing vault contents, patching existing notes, and performing advanced searches using both DataView Query Language and JsonLogic formats. The server runs as a Node.js application that can be configured in the Claude Desktop App, making it ideal for knowledge management workflows where users want to reference, analyze, or modify their personal knowledge base without leaving the conversation interface.
