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 Cursor?
Cursor's Agent mode turns Obsidian Publish into an in-editor superpower. Ask Cursor to generate code using live data from Obsidian Publish and it fetches, processes, and writes. all in a single agentic loop. 5 tools appear alongside file editing and terminal access, creating a unified development environment grounded in real-time information.
- —
Agent mode turns Cursor into an autonomous coding assistant that can read files, run commands, and call MCP tools without switching context
- —
Cursor's Composer feature can generate entire files using real-time data fetched through MCP. no copy-pasting from external dashboards
- —
MCP tools appear alongside built-in tools like file reading and terminal access, creating a unified agentic environment
- —
VS Code extension compatibility means your existing workflow, keybindings, and extensions all work alongside MCP tools

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.
What is Agent mode and why does it matter for MCP?
Agent mode is Cursor's autonomous execution mode where the AI can perform multi-step tasks: reading files, editing code, running terminal commands, and calling MCP tools. Without Agent mode, Cursor operates in a simpler ask-and-answer mode that doesn't support tool calling. Always ensure you're in Agent mode when working with MCP servers.
Where does Cursor store MCP configuration?
Cursor looks for MCP server configurations in a mcp.json file. You can configure servers at the project level (.cursor/mcp.json in your project root) or globally (~/.cursor/mcp.json). Project-level configs take precedence.
Can Cursor use MCP tools in inline edits?
No. MCP tools are only available in Agent mode through the chat panel. Inline completions and Tab suggestions do not trigger MCP tool calls. This is by design. tool calls require user visibility and approval.
How do I verify MCP tools are loaded?
Open Settings → Features → MCP and look for your server name. A green indicator means the server is connected. You can also check Agent mode's available tools by clicking the tools dropdown in the chat panel.
Tools not appearing in Cursor
Ensure you are in Agent mode (not Ask mode). MCP tools only work in Agent mode.
