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 does Claude Desktop discover MCP tools?
When Claude Desktop starts, it reads the claude_desktop_config.json file and connects to each configured MCP server. It calls the tools/list endpoint to fetch the schema for every available tool, then surfaces them as clickable options in the chat interface via the 🔌 icon.
What happens if the MCP server is temporarily unavailable?
Claude Desktop handles disconnections gracefully. if the server is unreachable at startup, the tools simply won't appear. Once the server becomes available again, restarting Claude Desktop will re-establish the connection. There is no timeout penalty or error loop.
Can I connect multiple MCP servers simultaneously?
Yes. You can add as many servers as you need in the mcpServers section of the config file. Each server appears as a separate tool provider, and Claude can use tools from multiple servers in a single conversation turn.
Is there a limit on the number of tools per server?
Claude Desktop can handle hundreds of tools per server. However, for optimal LLM performance, Vinkius servers are designed to expose focused, well-documented tool sets rather than overwhelming the model with too many options.
Does Claude Desktop support Streamable HTTP transport?
Yes. Claude Desktop supports both SSE (Server-Sent Events) and the newer Streamable HTTP transport that Vinkius uses. Simply provide the server URL. Claude auto-negotiates the transport protocol.
Server not appearing after restart
Ensure the JSON is valid (no trailing commas). Check the file path: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\\Claude\\ (Windows).
Authentication error
