What is the Obsidian Publish MCP Server?
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
- Subscribe to this server
- Enter your Obsidian Publish Site ID (and optional access token for private vaults)
- 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.

Why CrewAI?
When paired with CrewAI, Obsidian Publish becomes a first-class tool in your multi-agent workflows. Each agent in the crew can call Obsidian Publish tools autonomously, one agent queries data, another analyzes results, a third compiles reports, all orchestrated through Vinkius with zero configuration overhead.
- —
Multi-agent collaboration lets you decompose complex workflows into specialized roles, one agent researches, another analyzes, a third generates reports, each with access to MCP tools
- —
CrewAI's native MCP integration requires zero adapter code: pass Vinkius Edge URL directly in the
mcpsparameter and agents auto-discover every available tool at runtime - —
Built-in task delegation and shared memory mean agents can pass context between steps without manual state management, enabling multi-hop reasoning across tool calls
- —
Sequential and hierarchical crew patterns map naturally to real-world workflows: enumerate subdomains → analyze DNS history → check WHOIS records → compile findings into actionable reports

Frequently asked questions
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.
How does CrewAI discover and connect to MCP tools?
CrewAI connects to MCP servers lazily. when the crew starts, each agent resolves its MCP URLs and fetches the tool catalog via the standard tools/list method. This means tools are always fresh and reflect the server's current capabilities. No tool schemas need to be hardcoded.
Can different agents in the same crew use different MCP servers?
Yes. Each agent has its own mcps list, so you can assign specific servers to specific roles. For example, a reconnaissance agent might use a domain intelligence server while an analysis agent uses a vulnerability database server.
What happens when an MCP tool call fails during a crew run?
CrewAI wraps tool failures as context for the agent. The LLM receives the error message and can decide to retry with different parameters, fall back to a different tool, or mark the task as partially complete. This resilience is critical for production workflows.
Can CrewAI agents call multiple MCP tools in parallel?
CrewAI agents execute tool calls sequentially within a single reasoning step. However, you can run multiple agents in parallel using process=Process.parallel, each calling different MCP tools concurrently. This is ideal for workflows where separate data sources need to be queried simultaneously.
Can I run CrewAI crews on a schedule (cron)?
Yes. CrewAI crews are standard Python scripts, so you can invoke them via cron, Airflow, Celery, or any task scheduler. The crew.kickoff() method runs synchronously by default, making it straightforward to integrate into existing pipelines.
MCP tools not discovered
Ensure the Edge URL is correct. CrewAI connects lazily when the crew starts. check console output.
Agent not using tools
Make the task description specific. Instead of "do something", say "Use the available tools to list contacts".
Timeout errors
CrewAI has a 10s connection timeout by default. Ensure your network can reach the Edge URL.
Rate limiting or 429 errors
Vinkius enforces per-token rate limits. Check your subscription tier and request quota in the dashboard. Upgrade if you need higher throughput.
