Obsidian MCP Extended

What it does

Connects AI assistants to Obsidian vaults via a hybrid architecture. It allows the AI to interact with your knowledge base using both high-performance filesystem-native tools (working offline) and API-based tools for real-time workspace control and plugin integration.

Tools

• get_backlinks_fs: Find all notes linking to a specific note.
• search_tasks: Search tasks with emoji metadata.
• execute_dataview_query: Execute full DQL queries (requires Dataview plugin).
• parse_kanban_board: Parse markdown Kanban structure.
• get_link_graph: Generate a complete vault link graph.
• execute_command: Run Obsidian commands (requires Obsidian running).
