Obsidian Claude Code
The Obsidian Claude Code MCP server enables Claude AI clients to interact with Obsidian vaults by implementing a dual-transport MCP server supporting both WebSocket (for Claude Code) and HTTP/SSE (for Claude Desktop). It provides file read/write operations, workspace context awareness, and allows multiple Claude clients to connect simultaneously to access vault files and structure. This integration solves the problem of bringing AI-powered assistance directly into Obsidian workflows without leaving the note-taking application.
