Capture thoughts, search notes, and read files from a local markdown-based knowledge vault.\n\n---\n\n### Quick Start (uvx — Recommended)\n\nThe lightest way to run vault-mcp. No Docker, no manual venv — just [uv](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/getting-started/installation/) and one config change.\n\n**Step 1.** Install uv (if you don't have it):\n\n```bash\ncurl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh\n```\n\n**Step 2.** Add to your Claude Desktop config (`~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json`):\n\n```json\n{\n  \"mcpServers\": {\n    \"vault\": {\n      \"command\": \"uvx\",\n      \"args\": [\"obsidian-in-a-vat-mcp\"],\n      \"env\": {\n        \"VAULT_LOCAL_PATH\": \"/Users/yourname/my-vault\"\n      }\n    }\n  }\n}\n```\n\nReplace `/Users/yourname/my-vault` with the absolute path to your local vault directory.\n\n**Step 3.** Fully quit and reopen Claude Desktop. The `vault` tools will appear automatically.\n\n> **Don't have a vault yet?** Just point `VAULT_LOCAL_PATH` to an empty directory. On first use, ask Claude to _\"initialize my vault\"_ — it will set up the full directory structure automatically.\n>\n> **Already have an Obsidian vault?** Point `VAULT_LOCAL_PATH` to your existing vault and ask Claude to _\"initialize my vault\"_. It will scan your notes, classify them (captures vs. notes), and migrate everything into the vault-mcp format. Originals are safely archived under `_archive/`.\n\n---\n\n### Alternative Setup (Docker)\n\nIf you prefer Docker:\n\n```json\n{\n  \"mcpServers\": {\n    \"vault\": {\n      \"command\": \"docker\",\n      \"args\": [\n        \"run\", \"-i\", \"--rm\",\n        \"-v\", \"/Users/yourname/my-vault:/vault\",\n        \"ghcr.io/o…","publisher":null,"homepage":"https://github.com/oliverxuzy-ai/obsidian-in-a-vat","repository":"https://github.com/oliverxuzy-ai/obsidian-in-a-vat","version":"0.3.12","license":null,"protocols":["mcp"],"tags":["claude","knowledge-base","mcp","obsidian","vault"],"pricing":null,"endpoints":[{"url":"pypi:obsidian-in-a-vat-mcp","type":"package_pypi","auth":null,"probeable":false}],"skills":null,"tools":null,"extra":null,"attribution":{"kind":"pypi","name":"pypi","repoUrl":"pypi","summary":"pypi","version":"pypi","description":"pypi","homepageUrl":"pypi"}},"derived":{"capabilities":[{"slug":"dev.filesystem","name":"Filesystem","confidence":1,"provenance":"derived"},{"slug":"productivity.notes","name":"Notes & Docs","confidence":1,"provenance":"declared"},{"slug":"security.secrets","name":"Secrets Management","confidence":1,"provenance":"declared"}],"categories":["dev","productivity","security"],"language":"en"},"observed":{"status":"unknown","statusReason":"Distributed as a package to run locally; no network endpoint to check.","lastOkAt":null,"lastProbedAt":null,"statusComputedAt":null,"reliability30d":null,"latestObservations":[],"tools":null,"package":{"name":"obsidian-in-a-vat-mcp","registry":"pypi","observedAt":"2026-11-03T20:29:35.927Z","publishedAt":"2026-04-01T03:59:32.258993Z","latestVersion":"0.3.12"},"toolSurface":null,"endpointFacts":[]},"verification":{"claimed":false,"claimedAt":null,"proofs":[]},"provenance":{"sources":[{"source":"pypi","key":"obsidian-in-a-vat-mcp","url":"https://pypi.org/project/obsidian-in-a-vat-mcp/","firstSeenAt":"2026-09-10T08:25:55.204Z","fetchedAt":"2026-11-03T20:28:10.719Z","normalizedAt":"2026-11-03T20:28:10.719Z"}]},"firstSeenAt":"2026-09-10T08:25:55.204Z","updatedAt":"2026-11-03T20:29:35.927Z"}
