MCPVault
Let your AI read, search, and update your Obsidian notes, all on your own device
About this skill
MCPVault is a lightweight bridge that lets AI assistants like Claude work directly with your local Obsidian vault. It can read, search, create, edit, tag, and delete notes, with path and symlink protections that keep it inside your chosen vault folder. It runs entirely on your device with no network access, no accounts, and no data leaving your machine.
What it does
- read notes and folders in your Obsidian vault
- search notes with relevance ranking
- create, edit, append, and rewrite notes
- update frontmatter and manage tags
- move, rename, and delete notes (delete needs confirmation)
- report vault stats and note info
- access the internet or send data anywhere
- read files outside the chosen vault folder
- touch .obsidian, .git, or node_modules folders
- use API keys, logins, or cloud accounts
- run shell or system commands
Security report
- Hidden instructions that could trick your AI (prompt injection)
- Secretly collecting or sending your data (data exfiltration)
- Asking for more access than it needs
- Unsafe actions that could delete or send things without asking
- Where it comes from and whether its licence is clear
