Your Obsidian vault, searchable and reasoned over — inside ChatGPT, from your own Mac.
SecondBrainBridge is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) connector that lets ChatGPT search and reason over your Obsidian-style Markdown vault — a folder of notes on your Mac. It never uploads your notes to a third party — every action runs on your own Mac through a tiny local agent. The cloud piece is only a stateless relay that shuttles requests between ChatGPT and your Mac.
ChatGPT ──OAuth──► SecondBrainBridge relay ──job queue──► second-brain-agent ──► Obsidian vault
(connector) (Vercel, stateless) (your Mac, polls & executes) (Markdown notes on your Mac)
Your Mac is the only place your notes are ever read or written. The relay stores only short-lived job payloads and your account record; it never sees note content unless a job is in flight, and jobs expire in seconds.
1. Create your account at secondbrainbridge.vercel.app and generate a pairing code.
2. Install the Mac agent (needs Node 18+):
npx second-brain-agent pair <YOUR-CODE> # link this Mac to your account
npx second-brain-agent install # keep it running on every restart
Point it at your vault folder — set SECONDBRAIN_VAULT=/path/to/your/vault, or save the path in ~/.secondbrainbridge-agent.json. The first time the agent reads a vault kept in a protected location (Documents, Desktop, or iCloud Drive), macOS asks once for Files-and-Folders access — click OK.
3. Connect ChatGPT: Settings → Plugins → turn on Developer mode (Security & login) → Create a custom plugin → paste the MCP Server URL https://secondbrainbridge.vercel.app/mcp → Authentication OAuth → sign in & Allow.
That's it. In a new chat: "Search my notes for the Q3 planning doc" or "What did I decide about Project Atlas?"
Your Mac must be awake with the agent running.
npx second-brain-agent installmakes it start automatically at login and restart if it ever crashes.
npx second-brain-agent status # is it paired & reachable?
npx second-brain-agent logs # recent activity
npx second-brain-agent uninstall # stop auto-start
