This MCP server enables Claude Desktop (or any MCP client) to access and query Markdown notes stored in a directory, with a focus on Obsidian vaults. By exposing a simple MCP interface, it lets you read the contents of Markdown files and search across your notes without leaving the MCP environment. The server runs via NPX and launches the mcp-obsidian CLI, taking a single input: the path to the Obsidian vault (or any folder containing Markdown notes). It supports installation through Smithery for automatic setup, or manual integration in VS Code using a JSON configuration that defines the vaultPath input and an obsidian server that executes npx mcp-obsidian <vaultPath>. The tool is designed to be lightweight and portable, leveraging standard Node tooling so you can run it without a global install. It is compatible with any directory of Markdown notes, making it useful beyond Obsidian for various note-taking workflows and enabling quick, context-rich querying via Claude or other MCP clients.
