Obsidian MCP Ultimate
Enables Claude Desktop to directly access and manage Obsidian vault files, supporting reading, writing, patching, searching, and file operations without requiring Obsidian to be open.
README
🚀 Obsidian MCP Ultimate (Direct File Access)
The most reliable way to connect Claude Desktop to your Obsidian Vault.
Unlike other MCP servers that require the "Local REST API" or "Obsidian MCP" plugins (which frequently break or require Obsidian to be open), this server uses Direct File Access. It talks straight to your filesystem, making it faster, more stable, and functional even when Obsidian is closed.
✨ Why This Version?
Most Obsidian MCPs only allow you to read or overwrite entire files. This "Ultimate" edition adds power-user features:
- Partial Editing: Use
patch_noteto find-and-replace text without rewriting the whole file. - Wikilink Resolution: Claude can now "follow"
[[Links]]to find the actual file path. - Metadata Extraction: Deep-dive into YAML frontmatter and properties.
- File Management: Move, rename, delete, and create directories.
🛠️ Setup
1. Installation
Clone this repo to a permanent folder on your computer:
git clone https://github.com/YOUR_USERNAME/obsidian-mcp-ultimate.git
cd obsidian-mcp-ultimate
npm install
2. Configuration
Add the server to your Claude Desktop config file:
- macOS:
~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json - Windows:

💡 Usage Pro-Tips
Following Links
If Claude sees a link like [[Meeting Notes 2024]], it might not know where that file is. It should first call resolve_link(link_text: "Meeting Notes 2024") to get the path, then read_note.
Safe Editing
Instead of asking Claude to "Update my note," ask it to:
"Find the line starting with 'Status:' and replace it with 'Status: Completed' in my project note."
This triggers patch_note, which is much safer for large files than overwriting the entire thing.
⚠️ Safety Disclaimer
This server has delete and overwrite capabilities. While it only acts on your command, it is highly recommended to have Obsidian Sync, Git, or a system backup (Time Machine/File History) enabled for your vault.
