From the project README

Obsidian MCP Module

This module provides an MCP server for reading Obsidian vaults.

Currently both MCP tools and resources exist for accessing notes since some clients only support one or the other (VS Code only support tools).

Features

  • search-notes: Search notes by topic
  • get-note: Retrieve note contents

Installation

The Obsidian Metadata Extractor plugin needs to be enabled in order to create the metadata.json file this MCP server uses.

VS Code

You'll need to add a .vscode/mcp.json file to your workspace. Or you can set it up so all workspaces have access: https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/copilot/chat/mcp-servers.

From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.

An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
