About Markdown Frontmatter Harvester MCP Server
If you use a Knowledge Management system like Obsidian, Logseq, or Hugo, you likely use YAML 'frontmatter' at the top of your markdown files to track metadata like status: draft, tags: [idea, research], or date: 2024-01-01.
Windsurf's Cascade agent chains multiple Markdown Frontmatter Harvester tool calls autonomously. query data, analyze results, and generate code in a single agentic session. Paste Vinkius Edge URL, reload, and all 1 tools are immediately available. Real-time tool feedback appears inline, so you see API responses directly in your editor.
When you ask Claude, 'Which of my notes are marked as drafts and never published?', it fails because it can't read thousands of local files quickly. This MCP solves that by acting as a hyper-fast metadata librarian. It recursively scans your local folder, rips out only the YAML frontmatter from every file, and aggregates it into a clean JSON index. The AI can then instantly filter, sort, and query your entire knowledge base.
The Superpowers
- Vault-Wide Indexing: Turns scattered local markdown metadata into a unified database.
- Lightning Fast: Uses

- 100% Air-Gapped Privacy: Your private journal entries and business notes never leave your machine.
