Tools for your AI Agents to operate Obsidian Publish
Ask your AI agent "Check the vault and list all the files currently publicly available." and get the answer without opening a single dashboard. With 5 tools connected to real Obsidian Publish data, your agents reason over live information, cross-reference it with other MCP servers, and deliver insights you would spend hours assembling manually.
Works with Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and any MCP-compatible client. Powered by the Vinkius - your credentials never touch the AI model, every request is auditable. Connect in under two minutes.
Why teams choose Vinkius
One subscription gives you access to thousands of MCP servers - and you can deploy your own to the Vinkius Edge. Your AI agents only access the data you authorize, with DLP that blocks sensitive information from ever reaching the model, kill switch for instant shutdown, and up to 60% token savings. Enterprise-grade infrastructure and security, zero maintenance.

What the Obsidian Publish MCP Server unlocks
Connect your Obsidian Publish environment to your AI agent and construct an intelligent oracle that reads smoothly from your personal or corporate markdown knowledge base.
What you can do
- Vault Crawling — Programmatically fetch your entire published vault structure utilizing
list_filesandlist_navigationto build contextual trees. - Direct Note Access — Execute
get_fileto stream the complete raw markdown contents of any note directly into your chat workflow for fast summarization. - Metadata Operations — Use
get_metadatato retrieve frontmatter properties, tags, and internal link logic mapped by Obsidian. - Site Auditing — Easily ping
site_infoto ensure connectivity and verify the deployment status of your target Obsidian publish endpoint.
How it works
1. Subscribe to this server
2. Enter your Obsidian Publish Site ID (and optional access token for private vaults)
3. Start fetching and analyzing your personal notes directly from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client
Who is this for?
- Researchers & Writers — seamlessly command an AI to read past chapters, cross-reference characters, or verify published assertions without opening Obsidian.
- Corporate Teams — build a highly accessible chatbot that rapidly reads and summarizes your team's documented standard operating procedures (SOPs).
- Developers — fetch specific code snippets and technical architectures housed in your digital garden natively within the IDE.
Frequently asked questions about the Obsidian Publish MCP Server
Can the AI accurately recreate the folder structure of my vault?
Yes. When the model invokes list_navigation, it downloads the systematic JSON map of the entire public vault, thereby allowing it to understand the relationships and physical structure of your folders perfectly.
Does `get_file` automatically render complex Markdown components?
No rendering is performed on our end. The get_file tool returns pure raw Markdown (including frontmatter and obsidian syntax). Fortunately, LLMs (like Claude) are exceptionally adept at reading and reasoning over raw Markdown text structures.
If my Published site is private and requires a password, does it still work?
Yes, it works gracefully. If you configured Obsidian Publish with restricted read access, you can manually inject a persistent token into the setup, giving your AI agent the clearance to read securely behind the authentication wall.
