Seekstone
Connects Claude directly to your Obsidian vault through filesystem reads and writes, no plugin or running Obsidian app required. Exposes eight tools: full-text search that returns ranked excerpts instead of complete documents, read/create/delete/move operations, targeted append without touching frontmatter, and surgical YAML patches that preserve formatting. The key win is search efficiency. Where REST API wrappers return every matched note in full (megabytes, hundreds of thousands of tokens), this returns ~200-character snippets and lets Claude decide what to read completely. Builds an in-memory index on startup and keeps it live. Works across macOS, Linux, and Windows. If you're burning context on vault searches or want Claude to work with notes while Obsidian is closed, this is the implementation to try.

25 toolsPublic tool metadata for what this MCP can expose to an agent.
searchFull-text search. Returns ranked excerpts (default ~120 chars, tunable via `excerptLength`), not full notes. Fuzzy and prefix matching; with `SEEKSTONE_SEMANTIC=1`, `mode: "semantic"`/`"hybrid"` searches by meaning via a local embedding model (nothing leaves your machine).

No parameter schema in public metadata yet.
query_notesStructured metadata query. Filter by frontmatter key/value predicates (`eq`, `ne`, `contains`, `exists`, `missing`, `gt`/`gte`/`lt`/`lte`), tag, folder, modified time, and size; sort and select the fields you need. Returns compact rows (path + title by default), not note content.

read_noteRead the full content of a note by vault-relative path. Supports returning a single section, block, or line range.

read_notesRead up to 20 notes (or sections, blocks, line ranges) in one call under a total byte budget (default 16 KB). Over budget, each note is cut to a fair share and marked `truncated`; one bad path returns its own error without failing the batch.

list_tasksList Markdown checkbox tasks as compact structured rows (path, line, state, text, nearest heading) — vault-wide or filtered by note, folder, tag, state, or modified time. Custom markers (`- [/]`, `- [-]`, …) are first-class single-char states.

list_writesRecent writes from the journal — seq, timestamp, tool, touched paths, and whether each is still undoable. Metadata only, never note content.

delete_noteMove a note to the vault's `.trash/` folder (Obsidian-compatible, restorable). Pass `permanent: true` to skip the trash — the write journal still lets `undo_write` restore it.
