Hive MCP server

Hive is a small helper that connects your AI assistant to an Obsidian vault, which is just a folder full of markdown notes. Instead of dumping all your notes into the chat, it looks up only the parts you need, when you need them. It is handy if you keep project notes, tasks, or lessons in Obsidian and want your AI to actually use them.

What this MCP server does

You ask your AI something like "what is the status of my project?" or "find my notes about timeouts." Your AI passes that request to Hive. Hive opens your Obsidian vault folder, reads only the files that match, and sends the relevant bits back. Your AI then answers you using your own notes. If you ask it to write or update a note, Hive saves the change into the vault, and can also record it in git if you have git set up there.

What you can do with it

• Look up a project's context, tasks, roadmap, or lessons
• Search your whole vault by keyword, with filters and ranked results
• Browse your projects and files
• Create, append to, or replace notes in the vault
• Do a find-and-replace inside a note
• Save a lesson you learned so it is not forgotten next time
• Get a short briefing with tasks, lessons, recent git changes, and health in one go

Try asking your AI

• “Use vault_list to see my vault”
• “What is the current status of my hive project?”
• “Search my vault for anything about timeouts and show the top results”
• “Add a note to my work folder saying the deploy went fine today”

What it gives back to you

You get answers written in plain language, built from your own notes. Searches come back as a ranked list of matching files with short snippets. Writes come back as a short confirmation that the file was saved, and if git is set up, that a commit was made. A briefing returns a compact summary of tasks, lessons, recent changes, and vault health.
