How to Connect Obsidian to an AI Model: A Knowledge Base for LLMs
A developer got tired of copying notes from Obsidian into ChatGPT and back every day, so he wrote an MCP server called obsidian-agent. Now the language model reads the vault itself: it searches for relevant notes, creates new files straight from the conversation and updates existing ones. It works with Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf and other clients that support MCP. The repository is open source on GitHub.
