Obsidian MCP server (obsidian-tc)

This is a helper for people who keep their notes in Obsidian. It lets your AI assistant look inside your vault: read notes, search them, and make changes when you ask. It is handy if you have years of notes and want help finding or tidying them without clicking around yourself.

What this MCP server does

You ask your AI something about your notes, like finding a topic or reading a specific note. The AI passes that request to this helper program running on your computer. The helper opens your vault folder, searches or reads the notes you asked about, and sends the result back. Your AI then explains it to you in the chat. If you ask it to change something, the helper makes the edit and can keep a record of what it did.

• “Find all my notes about the Johnson project and summarize them”
• “What did I write last month about pricing ideas?”
• “Add a new note called Meeting 2026-03-04 with these bullet points”
• “Which notes link to my note called Reading List?”

What it gives back to you

You get answers in the chat: a list of matching notes, a short summary, or the text of a note you asked for. When it makes a change, it tells you what it changed and where. For searches, it shows the note names and the parts that matched. Everything stays in your chat window, so you can read it right away.
