kObsidian MCP

Filesystem-first MCP server for Obsidian vaults — with an LLM-Wiki layer on top.

Inspired by Andrej Karpathy's LLM Wiki idea. You curate the sources; the LLM does the bookkeeping.

New in v0.3.7

Configure each vault independently with .kobsidian.json: customize wiki folders, filenames, headings, and the stale-page threshold without sharing one configuration across every vault. notes.edit heading inserts also preserve paragraph spacing and join existing lists cleanly.

Why kObsidian

Filesystem-first. Operates on your vault directly. Obsidian doesn't need to be running for 55+ of the 66 tools.

66 typed MCP tools across vaults, notes, links, tags, tasks, Dataview, Canvas, Kanban, fenced blocks, Marp, Templates — every one Zod-validated with structuredContent output and the full 4-hint MCP annotation set (readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint).

Multi-vault vault.* (v0.3.0). The LLM can vault.list your known Obsidian vaults (discovered from Obsidian's own registry or OBSIDIAN_VAULT_<NAME> env vars) and vault.select between them for the session. Fully backwards compatible: OBSIDIAN_VAULT_PATH stays the default and per-call
