### Description (declared)

# Obsidian Index MCP server

An MCP server that provides a semantic search over an Obsidian vault and exposes recent notes as resources.

## Components

### Resources

The server exposes recently modified notes in your vaults as resources to MCP clients.
- Notes are addressed by an `obsidian://<VAULT_NAME>/<NOTE_PATH>` URL scheme
- Notes have the `text/markdown` media type

### Tools

The server implements one tool:
- `search-notes`: Performs semantic search over indexed notes

## Run the server

```bash
uv run obsidian-index mcp --vault <VAULT_PATH> --database <DATABASE_PATH> --reindex --watch
```

- `--vault`: Path to the Obsidian vault (can be specified multiple times)
- `--database`: Path to the local database file (will be created if it doesn't exist)
- `--reindex`: Reindex all notes in the vault (you probably want this every time right now)
- `--watch`: Watch for changes in the vault and update the index accordingly
