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.

Obsidian Publish + AutoGen FAQ

Common questions about integrating Obsidian Publish MCP Server with AutoGen.

How does AutoGen connect to MCP servers?

Create an MCP tool adapter and assign it to one or more agents in the group chat. AutoGen agents can then call Obsidian Publish tools during their conversation turns.

Can different agents have different MCP tool access?

Yes. AutoGen's role-based architecture lets you assign specific MCP tools to specific agents, so a querying agent has different capabilities than a reviewing agent.
