As a local MCP server: npm package
Built from what Official MCP Registry declares.
claude mcp add --env "OBSIDIAN_REST_API_KEY=<YOUR_OBSIDIAN_REST_API_KEY>" --env "OBSIDIAN_VAULT_PATH=<YOUR_OBSIDIAN_VAULT_PATH>" --transport stdio kobsidian-mcp -- npx -y kobsidian-mcp[mcp_servers.kobsidian-mcp]
command = "npx"
args = ["-y", "kobsidian-mcp"]
[mcp_servers.kobsidian-mcp.env]
OBSIDIAN_REST_API_KEY = "<YOUR_OBSIDIAN_REST_API_KEY>"
OBSIDIAN_VAULT_PATH = "<YOUR_OBSIDIAN_VAULT_PATH>"{
"mcpServers": {
"kobsidian-mcp": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y",
"kobsidian-mcp"
],
"env": {
"OBSIDIAN_REST_API_KEY": "<YOUR_OBSIDIAN_REST_API_KEY>",
"OBSIDIAN_VAULT_PATH": "<YOUR_OBSIDIAN_VAULT_PATH>"
}
}
}
}Replace the values in angle brackets with your own. We show the names of the settings, never values.
Optional settings it also lists: OBSIDIAN_API_URL, OBSIDIAN_API_VERIFY_TLS.
We do not store launch arguments. If the server needs any, its own documentation names them.

Found by meaning, not by shared code or a shared repository: similar plugins stay separate products, and this is not a review or a recommendation.
Is this your plugin?
Add it to your projects and prove you maintain it with a file in its repository, a file on your domain or a DNS record. You get alerts when a marketplace lists it, drops it, changes its verified mark or what it asks for, and its remote endpoint goes on monitoring as a web service.
Data comes from the Official MCP Registry (registry.modelcontextprotocol.io), CC0 1.0. Figures come from our own regular passes over the marketplaces, last read on . We publish no contact details for plugin publishers.
