A focused Model Context Protocol server that gives local AI clients controlled
filesystem access to an Obsidian vault. It runs over stdio, works without the
Obsidian application or a REST plugin, and supports read-only operation.

**Use it to:** search notes, read Markdown, browse folders, and optionally
create, update, move, or delete notes from any stdio-capable MCP client.

## Why Obsidian MCP?

- **Local by design:** no HTTP server, API token, or Obsidian plugin.
- **Vault-contained paths:** resolved paths and symbolic links cannot escape
  the configured vault root.
- **Read-only mode:** one environment variable disables every write tool.
- **Small surface area:** ten predictable tools backed by ordinary Markdown
  files.
- **Fast search:** uses ripgrep when available, with a pure-Python fallback.

> [!CAUTION]
> The configured MCP client can read every Markdown note in the selected
> vault. Start with `OBSIDIAN_READ_ONLY=1`, and review your model provider's
> data-handling policy before exposing sensitive notes.
