Compatible with every major AI agent and IDE
What is the Markdown Task Extractor MCP Server?
If you use Obsidian, Logseq, or Notion, your tasks are probably scattered across dozens of different daily notes and project files. When you ask your AI, 'What are my pending tasks today?', it has no idea because it can't read your local vault effectively.
This MCP uses a hyper-fast glob pattern to scan hundreds of local .md files in milliseconds. It extracts every - [ ] (pending) and - [x] (completed) task, along with the specific file it came from, and feeds it directly into your AI chat context. It transforms your local vault into a centralized AI task dashboard.
The Superpowers
- Vault-Wide Aggregation: Turns your scattered notes into a centralized task dashboard.
- Zero Config: Just give the AI the absolute path to your notes folder.
- Lightning Fast: Uses
fast-globto scan 1,000+ files in under 50ms. - Status Aware: Perfectly distinguishes between open and completed tasks.
Built-in capabilities (1)
Provide the absolute directory path to scan. Scan a local directory of Markdown files (Obsidian, Notion, Logseq) and extract all open and completed tasks (- [ ] and - [x])

Frequently asked questions
Does it work with massive Obsidian vaults?
Yes! It uses an optimized fast-glob engine that can recursively scan thousands of nested folders and markdown files almost instantly without crashing.
Will this tool accidentally modify my notes?
No. This engine operates in strict read-only mode. It uses regex to extract the text and returns it to the AI context. Your files are never altered.
Does it capture task due dates or tags?
The parser grabs the entire line containing the - [ ] markdown syntax. Any tags (like #urgent) or dates written on that same line will be captured and visible to the AI.
How do I add an MCP server to Claude Code?
Run claude mcp add <name> --transport http "<url>" in your terminal. Claude Code registers the server and discovers all tools immediately.
Can Claude Code run MCP tools in headless mode?
Yes. Claude Code supports non-interactive execution, making it ideal for scripts, cron jobs, and CI/CD pipelines that need MCP tool access.
How do I list all connected MCP servers?
Run claude mcp in your terminal to see all registered servers and their status, or type /mcp inside an active Claude Code session.
