Your AI does the work. We keep it safe and sound.

No other AI tool gives you this. Your workflow runs in the client you already love, your account stays protected, and you decide what the agent can and cannot do. It is the whole reason to make the switch.

Each Connector lives inside our infrastructure, the same place where your workflow runs. The three things below are already part of it, working quietly in the background so you never have to think about them. Nothing to add, nothing to set up, nothing to worry about.

V8 Isolate01

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed environment.

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed V8 runtime — no access to your files, your system, or other servers. A Connector never sees past its own request.

Kill Switch02

One switch stops every agent. Instantly.

One action deactivates every Connector, revokes every token, and ends every session at once. AI Governance keeps the record.

FinOps per User03

Spending limits that pause instead of surprise.

Every user keeps their own connections and credentials, isolated from everyone else. Anything that would cross your spending limit is held for your approval, not billed.

Three controls, built into the layer your AI connects through.

Curated set · 1 capability

We ship only the actions that matter.

Step-by-step automations your AI runs through this Connector: the workflow, the prompts to start with, and the exact capabilities behind each move.

One connector, every AI

Obsidian Publish works with the most popular AI clients.

These are the most popular clients, each with a step-by-step guide: one link, set up once, with governance and visibility built in. And because everything runs on the MCP standard, the same connection also works in any other compatible client — nothing to rebuild.

Building your own app? The connector is yours to use.

You don't need a client to put Obsidian Publish to work: the same hosted connection plugs into your own applications and agent code, with the same governance on every request. Build with it, chat with it — one connection for both.

Connect your client

One URL. Every client.

Activate the Connector, copy your link, and paste it into the client you already use. 1 capability arrives ready to run.

Preview access · not provider authentication

The vk_preview_* token belongs to Vinkius preview infrastructure. It lets Claude discover and display the capabilities of Obsidian Publish, so you can see the experience inside your AI.

It does not authenticate your account with Obsidian Publish. Actions requiring credentials or live account data may not run until you activate the Connector and authorize the service.

Who it's for

Built for the work Obsidian Publish owners hand off.

This is for anyone who maintains a structured knowledge base in Obsidian and wants to use an AI agent to interact with those notes.

  • 01

    Researchers

    Use the agent to cross-reference characters or verify assertions from published research notes.

  • 02

    Corporate Teams

    Build agents that read and summarize team SOPs stored in published vaults.

  • 03

    Developers

    Pull technical architectures and code snippets from a digital garden directly into an IDE.

FAQ

Questions Obsidian Publish owners ask.

  • 01

    Can I use this with private Obsidian vaults?

    Yes. You can connect to private vaults by providing an access token during setup.

  • 02

    Which AI clients can use this MCP?

    Any MCP-compatible client, including Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, and VS Code.

  • 03

    Do I need to host the MCP myself?

    No. Vinkius hosts and manages the MCP for you, so it is ready to use immediately.

  • 04

    How does the agent know my note structure?

    The agent uses the navigation and file listing capabilities to map out your published vault's hierarchy.

  • 05

    What information can the agent see?

    The agent can access raw markdown content, frontmatter, tags, and the site's navigation structure.

  • 06

    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.

  • 07

    Does get_file automatically render complex Markdown components?

    No rendering is performed on our end. The get_file capability 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.

  • 08

    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.
