MCP Tools for Obsidian enables AI applications like Claude Desktop to securely access and work with your Obsidian vault through the Model Context Protocol (MCP). MCP is an open protocol that standardizes how AI applications can interact with external data sources and tools while maintaining security and user control. [^2]
This plugin consists of two parts:
- An Obsidian plugin that adds MCP capabilities to your vault
- 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 - but only when you allow it and only through the server's secure API. The server never gives AI applications direct access to your vault files. [^3]
Privacy Note: When using Claude Desktop with this plugin, your conversations with Claude are not used to train Anthropic's models by default. [^1]
Features
When connected to an MCP client like Claude Desktop, this plugin enables:
- Vault Access: Allows AI assistants to read and reference your notes while maintaining your vault's security [^4]
- Semantic Search: AI assistants can search your vault based on meaning and context, not just keywords [^5]
- Template Integration: Execute Obsidian templates through AI interactions, with dynamic parameters and content generation [^6]
All features require an MCP-compatible client like Claude Desktop, as this plugin provides the server component that enables these integrations. The plugin does not modify Obsidian's functionality directly - instead, it creates a secure bridge tha...
